Easy
and convenient, the Pocket Diet & Recipe book teaches
portion control by using pita pockets (each holding 2-3
ounces of food) to monitor portion sizes. Along with great
tasting pita pockets the plan consists of fruit, low fat
yogurt, raw veggies, nuts, and other healthy choices at
various intervals throughout the day. Rather than eating
three big meals, the plan is designed so that you will have
several small ones and will rarely, if ever, go hungry.
This
plan, consisting of everyday foods, will be embraced and
a big hit with the whole family. Kids can enjoy peanut butter-and-jelly
or ham and cheese in the edible, hand-held containers, while
adults can fill up with tasty stir-fry, scrambled eggs,
chicken or other meats and vegetables. Pocket diet meals
are a healthy option when in the car or or on the go.

Along
with being safe and practical, the Pocket Diet has
been proven effective. When tested on 38 volunteers
at Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls,
Wisconsin, all participants lost weight, dropping
an average of 8 pounds over six weeks. One individual
lost 17 pounds.
The
Pocket Diet was developed by George Kashou in cooperation
with Community Memorial Hospital, Memomonee Falls,
WI, and rather than being "one plan fits all" offers
a variety of meal options tailored to your physique
and activity level. It's also flexible, so you can
eat any food combination at any meal or snack time.
Packed with 200 delicious
but simple-to prepare recipes, the book provides
suggestions for fiber-intensive meals with high water
content. Not only do such foods have fewer calories,
but they fill you up more quickly. And unlike low
carb diets which can encourage the use of high-fat
food in large quantities, the book incorporates a
variety of complex, high-fiber carbohydrates, lean
proteins, and veggies. It shows how to limit saturated
fat and avoid simple carbohydrates like sodas, baked
goods, and candy.
In
The Pocket Diet, you'll also find practical suggestions
for managing your weight and starting an exercise
program, including a simple walking program for those
just starting out.
According
to co-author and dietitian Caitlyn Lorenze, people
are less likely to quit their diet if food is good-tasting
and plentiful. "Putting your food in a pita pocket
is much easier than other portion control methods
like trying to visualize portions as the size of a
tennis ball or tote around food scales or measuring
cups," she observes. So shed those extra pounds -
and keep them off --with the Pocket Diet.
Note:
The Pocket Diet & Recipe Book is the 2nd edition
of the original Pocket Diet. It is loaded with 150
+ more recipes and expanded fitness program.
