Looking for: Dieters looking to cut protein and carbohydrates from their diet

Works Well With: Supplements that are listed in Dr. Rosedale's book

Full Detailed Review:

Contradictory to other fashionable diets, this diet includes a high fat intake along with a plethora of supplements suggested by Dr. Rosedale. He suggests that a diet high in fat content can help in controlling the level of lepitin, a protein hormone, and in turn help in controlling the appetite and in regulating the body's metabolism. If a dieter can control her appetite, then she'll be less likely to overeat. This will eventually lead to weight loss.

Although the dieter does not need to cut calories or fat with this diet, he or she will need to restrict carbohydrate intake. Carbohydrates can only be consumed if they are rich in fiber as well, such as in green vegetables. The dieter must also restrict protein to approximately one half gram per pound of body weight.

Does this diet have any benefit to it? If you are an active individual, you need carbohydrates to provide energy to your body, but you won't get them with this diet. Likewise, you won't be getting much of the protein that you need to maintain your muscle mass either. This weight loss diet may be too limiting and restrictive for some individuals.

Lots of supplements are expected with this diet, which can increase the cost of this weight loss plan considerably. Considering the fact that the legitimacy of such supplements has been questioned in the past, the cost may even be a wasteful use of money.

Pros
· Promotes slower eating
· May be of some benefit to Type II Diabetics
· Heart healthy fats are encouraged.

Cons
· Fat is not restricted enough
· No room for exercise in this plan
· Not enough protein

Average Weight Loss
· 5 pounds in the first week

Helpful Tip
· Make a gradual transfer to this type of weight loss plan.

Personal Trainer
The only thing that worries me with what Rosedale says is regarding the amount of exercise that he is recommending.

15mins of exercise a day is not enough although its better than non. Depending on how active you are depends on how you should start to exercise especially if you havn't been exercising regularly or find it hard to due to conditions. 30 mins of exercise is the minimum any one should do when it comes to maintain a healthy body as well as diet.

There are many benefits when it comes to exercising. If you are unsure as to how intense you should be when doing exercise consult a personal trainer or physotherapist first.

Your Summary is NOT the Rosedale Diet!
Rosedale's diet is NOT a high fat diet, but he recommends eating GOOD fats like olive oil and avocado oil and the omega-6 oils in wild sockeye salmon. It is NOT a low protein diet. He recommends that people eat enough (but not too much) protein AND not eat sugars and starches in order to rebalance and begin to BURN FAT rather than burning sugar. As Brent said, the gradual approach is totally wrong. By completely avoiding sugars, the dieter is able to reset his metabolism and overcome leptin resistance. My experience with other diets has ruined my health. This diet feels SO much better and makes much more sense to me, but no one can do it part-way. After less than a week on it, I am able to walk better and I am dropping weight, but this is not a quick fix. I am on the road to having a fat-burning rather than sugar-burning metabolism by saying goodbye to ALL sugars and starches. I am done with eating for stupid reasons. Vegetables, protein and good fats are better and healthier. Read the book.

Rosedale's way of health...not a weight loss diet
The Rosedale Diet is first and foremost a WAY of nutitionally feeding your body and its cells. IT may cause weight loss in those that need weight loss. It can also be used to cure, rebalance lots of metabolic irregularities that cause disease and illness. I have reserached Rosedale and although, at first glance, I thought him to be a lunatic, once you get into the research and facts, you will find that they make perfet sense. I have been getting more and more ill since a m!@#$$ive heart attack 6 yrs ago and have put on 150 lbs. EATING as I was told to by my cardiologist, endocrinologist and nutririonists. LOW FAT, LOW CARB, LOW Calorie doenst work. ITs a temporary fix with huge rebound effects on your body. The more I followed the "right" diet, the more sicker i got and the more medical conditions I have developed. I am not through reading the Rosedale Diet book, which is my last bit of research. I have done only one thing thus far, that is adding the right fat to my previously almost NO fat diet. I can tell you that I am diabetic and in 1 month my blood sugars have gotten much lower, have stabilized lower and i now use only about 25% of the insulin i used before last month. I also lost 13 lbs. So all i can say is that if one small "Rosedale Diet" change made this difference in my life, I am definitly going to try the entire program. If this doesnt work, I will be making my funeral arrangements. Good Luck to all of you who dare to step out of the box and see for yourself.

Fat burning not carb burning
The whole point of this diet is to readjust your metabolism by lowering leptin and insulin levels. This allows the cells to become less insulin and leptin resistant.

Your body becomes proficient at fat burning and not merely carb burning. So the notion that this diet is insufficent for active lifestyles is nonsense. I lead a very active and busy life, and have not experienced a glut in energy with the exception of the first few days where I was weening off the sugar addiction. Also my workouts, and the results of them have improved dramatically.

Lastly, gradually getting on this diet is the incorrect approach. You will be constantly tired and experiencing hypoglycemia on a daily basis. It will be a miserable experience if you attempt a gradual approach.
