Can the Food Doctor Diet help you eat better?
Not many North Americans have heard of Ian Marber’s series of ‘The Food Doctor: Healing Foods for Mind and Body‘ books. The first book was published in the U.K. with co-author Vicki Edgson and a decade later the book is still quite popular in Britain. Ian Marber just published his latest edition of “The Food Doctor Ultimate Diet” and readers are still finding a lot of solid tips to help them maintain a healthier weight and a healthier lifestyle.
The goal of Ian Marber’s book is to change the way you eat, eliminate bad habits and help you lose weight for good with The Food Doctor diet.
For many food is more like a crutch than energy and that’s when overeating, being overweight and obesity become real threats.
Marber starts with a seven-day diet program (no calorie-counting … which is a good thing because calorie-counting is a certain route to diet failure) to kick-start your weight loss, then pick up new habits for life with 10 simple Food Doctor healthy eating principles and an easy-to-follow 30 day plan. The book also contains a number of case studies of real people who have tried the methods and who have managed to lose the weight and keep it off. You’ll also get tons of delicious recipes, and flexible menu options: from lunch on the run to car journey snacks and family evening meals.
The Food Doctor: Healing Foods for Mind and Body is packed with Ian Marber’s excellent advice and he really does understand the ups and downs of weight loss and eating better for life. He makes you feel like you have all the support that you could ever want from a diet book and it’s realistic advice that focuses on helping you achieve greater balance in your life and in your diet via a sensible approach to eating for life.
You’ll find the principles easy to follow and with time, they’ll become second nature to you.
Many of Marber’s readers have lost the weight, kept it off and really enjoy food again! Here’s another thing to point out … Marber doesn’t believe in hunger pains that sends your blood sugar on a merry go round. The idea behind this book is to eat sensibly, make better food choices and lose weight because you cut out the junk and nourish you better much better than on the diet you were following before.
For many, The Food Doctor: Healing Foods for Mind and Body is the first time in their lives where they fully understand the concept of proper portion sizes and they are finally able to give up overeating.
If you’ve not read Ian Marber’s first four books, this might be a good place to start. That said, if you’ve read any of his previous The Food Doctor: Healing Foods for Mind and Body books, you might find this to be a bit of a repetition because it’s more or less a compilation of the other books.
