The FLEX DIET Review - Dr. James Beckerman's The Flex Diet

THE FLEX DIET is based on Dr. James Beckerman's book "The Flex Diet: Design-Your-Own Weight Loss Plan." Many diet books present readers with a single, inflexible program which forces you to stay on that diet or it doesn't work. Not this one. The Flex Diet shows 200 different ways to lose weight. You design your own weight loss plan... the one that fits your lifestyle... the one that works for you.

What is the Flex Diet?

THE FLEX DIET is a fresh approach to the same old problem - losing weight. No calorie counting. No scales. No points. The Flex Diet operates on a simple principle that you can apply throughout your life: small changes yield big results. Rather than teaching you just one way to lose ten or twenty or even fifty pounds, The Flex Diet shows you how to lose a single pound... in 200 different ways. Well, I think that is very reasonable, don't you think?

How does it work?

THE FLEX DIET is divided into three parts:

• Today - Start TODAY to lose five pounds: The first two-week phase is when you select from a list of choices to create a diet that prevents burnout and frustration. You begin to make small changes to your diet and lifestyle that will help you lose 5 pound in two-week time.
• Every Day - Do it EVERY DAY and lose ten more pounds: The next phase is three weeks of "Every Day Solutions" introduce meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with dozens of tasty recipes and complete nutritional information. You also start heart healthy exercises and lifestyle options let you retool your life. You learn posi­tive Every Day habits like storing leftovers before you eat, switching to skim milk, and walking during breaks at work.
• Your Way - Have it YOUR WAY to keep inches off your waist: The "Your Way" phase offers nearly 100 lifestyle more changes and solutions that you can use to take things to the next level and continue a lifetime of slim and healthy living.

By understanding 200 different weight loss Solutions, you can learn to combine them to reach your own personal goals. THE FLEX DIET teaches you to be flexible, one pound at a time, so that you can keep going toward where you want to be. It’s your solution, and it bends so you don’t break.

Here are a few Solutions that you can incorporate to lose weight and keep it off:

• Eat eggs twice a week, yes this comes from your cardiologist

• Eat an apple a day

• Avoid Bagels, or Scoop or Go Halfsies

• Avoid Starbucks, or at least understand the difference between a Grande and a Venti

What do experts say?

Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP, Director, Prevention Research Center, Yale University School of Medicine

“Here is a book from a doctor one can trust.  I had yet to find a book on diet, written by an MD who was still in the medical trenches, that made any sense whatsoever. Until now. This book is needed.  This book is fun, smart, scientifically sound, yet practical and achievable.  I recommend it wholeheartedly.” - Alejandro Junger, MD, New York Times bestselling author of CLEAN; The Revolutionary Program to Restore The Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself

“Only a cardiologist could provide this perfect blend of medical science and practical experience in the pursuit of a perfect body. As a heart surgeon, if this book were available twenty years ago, I would be out of business.“ - Albert Starr, MD, Heart surgeon and inventor of the world’s first artificial heart valve

“We’ve heard it all before - eat right and exercise.  But Dr. James Beckerman gets to the heart of our unhealthy lifestyle with solutions that only a passionate and experienced cardiologist could offer.  If you’re ready to take yourself on, start reading today.” - Pam Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, Chief Medical Correspondent for nutrition and fitness on Discovery Health TV and author of Body for Life for Women

Conclusion:

There are so many diets in the market all claiming their diet is the best. Diets are difficult... all diets require dedication and a change in lifestyle. That’s just being honest. But THE FLEX DIET is the first integrated weight loss program that lets you decide how you are going to do it. There is no membership or registration fee. No prepackaged foods that may or may not taste good. No calorie counting, better yet no point counting.

The only out-of-pocket cost to you is the cost of Dr. Beckerman's book. I think it's a one heck of a good deal. You choose, you lose.
