ETA that the 1st phase looks so simple!!!


From the website
Bob Greenes Best Life Diet

Phase 1: The Rev-Up

In the first four weeks, focus on moving more and changing your eating patterns. To start, step on the scale to get your starting weight. Then, put it away!

The first step is to get moving! Activity burns calories and revs up your metabolism beyond its normal capacity, allowing you to eat more food while losing weight.

The hardest part is getting started. Determine where you are on the activity scale. If you are already exercising regularly, move up one level. If you're at level zero, go up two levels and start formal workouts right away after checking with your physician. Your body will adapt, and it will be easier to increase how much you move.

Also, start eating three meals and one snack daily. Plan to get 25 to 30 percent of your total calories from each meal, with the rest from your snack. And don't forget breakfast! It gives your metabolism a jolt and will keep you satisfied until lunch. If you wake up without an appetite, give it an hour to develop. If you're still not hungry, eat anyway.

There are a few other rules at this stage:


Eliminate alcohol (you can add it back in later).
Have a glass of water at every meal.
Take a multivitamin, an omega-3 supplement and a calcium supplement if you're not getting enough from your diet.
Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.

Weigh yourself after four weeks. If you dropped a pound or more per week, consider staying in this phase two or three more weeks. If you didn't lose much weight, you're right where you should be. Your body is now prepared for the aggressive weight loss that's coming in the next stage of the program.
