Magic Pill Infomercial producers have made millions of dollars selling ephedra, hoodia, green tea extract and other “fat- burner” and “fat-blocker” pills to an anxious public. Dr. Ian K. Smith dedicated himself to studying these products in extreme detail, then published his findings in Time magazine: “There are no shortcut pills to a leaner body.” Full Plate The Full Plate Diet™ is easy, cheap, healthy, and sustainable. Harvard Study The more fiber you eat, the more weight you’ll lose. The less fiber you eat, the less weight you’ll lose. When Walter Willett and his colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health studied nearly 75,000 women over a 12-year period, one thing was obvious: the women who ate whole-grain fiber weighed less than the women who did not. By stimulating the release of certain intestinal hormones, fiber promotes a feeling of satisfaction earlier in the meal. Fiber also slows the emptying of the stomach, prolonging that sense of fullness. As a result, fiber helps you eat less. It also slows the digestion and absorption of starches. This allows your body to break down dietary fats instead of storing them. Dean Ornish, T. Collin Campbell (author of The China Study and professor emeritus at Cornell University) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute have also published studies that demonstrate the power of fiber to facilitate weight loss. In addition, our 50 years of combined clinical practice, treating thousands of patients, has shown The Full Plate Diet™ to be the easiest and most sustainable way to get trim, feel great, and regain health. Weight loss of 5 to 10 pounds in the first month and 50 to 75 pounds after one year are not uncommon—without hunger or feelings of deprivation. Why Diets Fail Feeling full is due to food weight and volume, not calories. If your meal was high in calories you’ll gain weight regardless of whether or not you felt full. If your idea of a diet is to keep eating those same high- calorie foods, only less of them, you’ll feel deprived and probably won’t succeed. Most diets fail because they ask you to eat smaller portions and weights of food instead of changing the kinds of foods you’re eating. Increase the amount of fiber in your diet and you’ll have less room for the concentrated, high-calorie foods that make you overweight. It’s as simple as that. The Full Plate Diet™ is extremely healthy. The Institute of Medicine, the American Heart Association, the American Dietetic Association, and the American Diabetes Association all recommend that you increase your intake of dietary fiber. The more fiber you eat, the more weight you’ll lose 11
