It is rare that I am wowed by a new diet or fitness book these days. As a long-time fitness enthusiast, Boston marathoner, certified sports and exercise nutritionist, and certified Food for Life cooking instructor, I am a prolific reader of all things health, wellness, diet, nutrition, and exercise, and most books in this genre seem to have one (or more) of the following problems: (1) they are based on the flavor of the day and not on trusted science; (2) they represent short-term band-aids to lifelong issues - "get your best body in 90 (or 30, or 60) days"; (3) they focus on one aspect of a healthy lifestyle (such as diet or exercise or diet and exercise but not your mind and emotions); and/or (4) they do not provide a practical guide for healthy living that can be incorporated into your own lifestyle and adapted to your own preferences. The One One One Diet (although the name makes it sound like another trendy diet fad) miraculously avoids these common diet book pitfalls, and I give it 5 glowing stars for its nutritional soundness, simplicity, and lifestyle friendliness.
The basis of the diet - which is actually tauted as a lifelong nutrition plan and not a short-term diet - is that you eat frequently throughout the day (3 meals, 2 snacks) to keep your blood sugar stable and your hunger at bay. Each meal should be balanced with a serving each of protein, carbs, and fats. Nonstarchy veggies are "free" foods that can bulk up any meal in terms of volume and nutrients. Snacks have the same calculus except that meat and grain servings (if any) served as snacks should be cut in 1/2. And that's it. No macronutrients are off limits. No food is a no-no. You can drink wine. Or eat chocolate. But in moderation and in balance.
So, I HIGHLY recommend checking out this book. It makes everything so simple and really helped me create a healthy lifestyle.
I've read a ton of weight loss and diet books and have learned stuff through each one but this one was the easiest "diet" for me to stick with. I am in my mid 30's now with two kids, I have struggled with my weight for the past 5-6 years. Its been like a roller coaster, lose some weight on a plan, then gain it back.. over and over again.
About the "Diet"
First, I definitely use the word diet loosely here.
If you are like me you've probably read tons of diet books. The authors love to limit what types of foods you eat. Which makes it HARD to stick with. I can certainly understand why cutting out carbs would help you lose weight... But I couldn't stick with that long term so it was always tough for me to completely buy into that plan.
That's why I really like this book, it's a realistic way to eat, and something you can stick with for years. This is not a short term solution. It is a lifelong plan.
The premise of the diet
Just to briefly outline the diet. First you want to eat 5 times per day, eating 3 meals and 2 snacks. This type of eating always made the most sense to me so that you can keep your blood sugar high to prevent cravings. Each meal (and snack) should include 1 carb, 1 fat and 1 protein. The emphasis is on creating balanced meals.
No foods are off limits you just have to focus on creating balance and moderation which is MUCH easier to do than completely cutting out foods (at least for me).
Meal Plan Suggestions
The author goes on to tell many different meal plans you can use that fit into this diet. The suggestions are just ideas.
