Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet Review

Here is a test drive of the Bob Greene diet plan. I thought maybe you would like to get an idea if this is the plan that will work for you before you invested your money, time and energy. So let’s start with the most important questions…

• Cost – Right around $50 will cover the basic costs including the book with recipes, the journal, and a stay on the program book (also available on CDs). The cost of your food will decrease because fresh food is normally cheaper than processed food. You also have an option of joining Bob Greene diet program for a weekly fee that gives you access to experts and other dieters.
• Diet Duration – This of course depends on you. The program is set up for Phase 1 and 2 to go a minimum of 4 weeks each. Phase 2 repeats until you reach your goal. Phase 3 is your new lifestyle.
• Fitness – Major role in the diet. You start by taking a test to determine your current level of activity and then slowly and (importantly) safely increase it to reach your ideal metabolism. This is not limited to personal trainer type of exercise but incorporates lifestyle types of activities outside of the gym.
• Time Commitment – Food prep is low, the fitness level is high. See Ongoing Commitment for further comments.
• Eating Out – YES. The Bob Greene diet plan book (and there is actually a Guide to Fast Food and Family Dining for easy reference) walks you through making healthy choices when eating out.
• Alcohol – None in Phase 1 but allowed in moderation in the later Phases.
• Ongoing Commitment – By acknowledging that it is not simple laziness but a complicated web of social rituals, cultural expectations, and habits that drives people to gain weight, the Bob Greene diet is able to attack the problem of weight loss realistically and offer not a short-lived, quick-fix formula, but a long-term program that accounts for the challenges and constraints of the real world psychological, physical and emotional challenges that are keeping you from weight-loss success.

So is the Bob Greene Best Life Diet for you? Only you can determine that. Why? Because only if you believe and commit to it, no matter how good the Best Life diet is, will you be successful.
