"The Reality Diet" by Steven Schnur: Book Review by Cherie Fisher
The Reality Diet: Lose the Pounds for Good with a Cardiologist's Simple, Healthy, Proven Planby Steven A. Schnur, MDAvery (2006)ISBN 9781583332504Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (5/07)
Over the past 15 years I have tried many diet plans and found that most of them did not work over the long-term. They either were too restricting, too complicated or too time-consuming. Dr. Schnur's approach to weight loss is a simple, commonsense approach. "The Reality Diet" is not a fad diet for people who want to drop the weight overnight. It is a long-term lifestyle change.
As a cardiologist, Dr. Schnur was alarmed at how many unhealthy diet plans are available. As he tried to help people who had significant damage from unhealthy lifestyles, he knew there had to be a better way. He began studying everything he could about the subject and came up with a simple, healthy approach to weight loss. Dr. Schnur explains in the beginning of the book that "...you will lose eight to ten pounds, mostly fat, in the first month - no water or lean muscle, but that weight will stay off. "The Reality Diet ensures that you eat the right carbohydrates, the right proteins, and the right fats and, unlike any other diet out there, plenty of satisfying, healthy fiber." His premise is that fiber is very filling so we eat less of it and don't feel the hunger pangs during the weight loss process.
The plan is based on eating the right food, portion control and exercise. He completely disagrees with the diet plans that say you do not have to exercise. Exercise helps raise your metabolism, increase your energy and you will burn calories by exercising. The quality of pounds that a person burns are much more likely to be fat than lean muscle mass.
