THE CONCEPT
The Dean Ornish diet was created around the idea that heart disease
can be reversed by diet. After discovering scientific data supporting
his claims, Dean Ornish developed the diet, which is split into
two separate diets for two separate kinds of dietors. The first
is a Prevention Diet, meant to keep people with decent health
levels away from dangerous levels of cholesterol and other health
problems. The second is a Reversal Diet, meant to undo any negative
aspects to your health status.
THE PLAN
The Reversal Diet is a vegetarian diet, full of complex carbohydrates.
The diet asks you to steer clear of simple carbs, such as sugars
and alcohol. You are expected to eat plenty of vegetables, grains,
bread, beans, non-fat dairy products. This diet, if followed properly,
is proven to reduce heart disease, lower cholesterol, and allow
someone to regain a healthy body.
The Prevention Diet takes into account your cholesterol levels,
age, height, weight, and health goals. It then modifies your protein
and fat intake in order to control your heart health and your
cholesterol.
Weight loss on this program is secondary to overall health. If
you are just looking for a quick fix on your weight problem, this
diet probably isn't your best option. However, if you wish to
increase your health and are looking for a loose style to dieting,
then maybe you should consider buying this book.
