Celebrating Fiber over Fad Dieting

Wouldn't it be nice to find a diet that insists you stop fretting over carbs, fats and calories? Well a diet wouldn't be a diet unless it had rules. So what if the rules focused on combining fiber with lean protein at every meal? This is entirely possible, according to Tanya Zuckerbrot, author of The F-Factor Diet.

Tanya Zuckerbrot has spent more than a decade working with busy, successful clients who want and need to lose weight. She's watched fad diets come and go, offering only a temporary fix-and a lot of misinformation about healthy eating. To this end, Tanya has developed a plan that makes losing weight and keeping it off easy and convenient. Her healthy, delicious, sustainable diet redefines fiber as an essential piece to achieving weight loss with the added benefits of an energy boost, lowering cholesterol, and reducing the risk of metabolic diseases.

The F-Factor Diet is made up of 3 simple stages, each including a wide array of foods, packed full of fiber and available in any supermarket. She also hand-picks specialty products that compliment the high fiber goal of her plan and come nicely equipped with good taste! The F-Factor Diet also includes more than seventy-five delicious recipes-and a complete set of guidelines for those who don't cook.

Beyond her refreshing approach to easy weight loss -- Tanya Zuckerbrot, M.S., R.D., is a nutritionist in private practice, based in New York City and Miami Beach. She serves on the advisory boards of Shape and Men's Fitness magazines, and has appeared on Today and Fox News, among other shows.

Lower saturated fat with dietary fiber

Data presented at the 2006 North American Association for the Study of Obesity confirmed that the all natural dietary fiber in FBCx effectively binds to dietary fat, specifically saturated fats, preventing absorption of a portion of your dietary fat. Don't jump to the conclusion that FBCx is just another four-letter word for P-I-L-L.

The double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial with obese diabetic volunteers concluded that all volunteers in the active group responded to FBCx, but those that had the highest saturated fat-containing diets experienced the largest adjusted weight loss. Results from this trial also indicate: significant weigh loss among all participants, decrease in serum triglyceride levels, decrease is serum cholesterol, decrease in LDL cholesterol and significant reduction in the amount of blood pressure medicine required.

Tell me if the following doesn't lure you like a moth to a flame. Imagine a diet program that does not involve a diet. It like a dietary illusion: 2 tablets per meal, 3 meals a day turns 2,000 consumed calories into 1,500 absorbed calories. Yes, that's the way to win the battle of the bulge - pick Mother Nature for your team!
