Diet Inspector - Diet Plan Reviews

The Blood Type diet is another fad diet that’s been popular lately, but most doctors believe that this diet is merely a gimmick and not based on sound scientific evidence. It certainly does leave some questions unanswered and I don’t much in the way of common sense here. In fact, I think the Blood Type diet is downright silly.

The Blood Type diet was developed by a man named a naturopath named Peter D’Adamo. While he carries the title Dr. in front of his name, it is important to realize that he is NOT a medical doctor. His doctorate is in naturopathy. His book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, says the key to weight loss lies in a human’s genetic makeup - specifically their blood type. He believes that by eating foods that are based on blood type, people have a better chance of losing weight.

Did you know that the popular diet pill, Hoodia, actually comes from a cactus? It’s true. the name Hoodia actually comes from an ugly looking cactus plant that grows in Africa, near the Kalahari desert.

The Bushmen that live there use the Hoodia cactus, specifically Hoodia Gordonii, to keep them from getting hungry on long hunting trips. The native tribes eat the plant and can survive for days on little or nothing to eat while they search for food. The Hoodia cactus suppresses their desire to eat. It fools the brain into thinking that they are already full.

The discovery of this plant sent pharmaceutical companies after the secret to stopping the obesity epidemic. Taking Hoodia is supposed to suppress the appetite and therefore lead to weight loss. When hunger does start to kick in, Hoodia users can eat healthier foods to fuel the body.

How Phase Two of the South Beach Diet Works

Once you get through the first two weeks of the South Beach Diet during phase one, it’s time to move on to the second phase of the diet. Phase two is a bit different from phase one because it is at this point that you will start making some choices of your own about what to eat, rather than simply following the food list from the first phase. It also lasts longer than phase one. Once you fully progress into phase two over the course of six weeks, you’ll stay with it until you read your weight loss goals before moving on to phase three.

Throughout the first six weeks of the second phase of the South Beach diet, you’ll slowly be adding more carbohydrates back into your menu. You’ll do so gradually though, one week at a time, in order to make sure that you are continuing to lose weight and that you aren’t having adverse reactions, such as food cravings, dips in your energy, or weight gain.

Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet, which lasts two weeks, is pretty similar to the Atkin’s Diet “induction” period, which, not so coincidentally, also last two weeks. This is the most stringent aspect of the entire diet plan because you will be removing a lot of things that most people really enjoy eating from your diet.

As part of the publicity for South Beach, they tout that you can lose weight without feeling hungry. With the amount of food that you are allowed to have on the plan during phase one, this is actually pretty true. But hunger and cravings aren’t really the same thing. You really are not likely to be hungry, i.e. feeling your stomach growl and holding on by your fingernails until your next meal rolls around. What are you likely to experience though is cravings for the carbs that you’ve suddenly been weaned off of.
