Types of Diets

FIT FOR LIFE
In this program, eating foods in specific combinations at certain times of the day is meant to result in increased energy and natural weight reduction.
Specific guidelines are given for types of foods to eat throughout the day. 70 percent of the diet is based on fruit and vegetables, while dairy products and meats are severely limited. Weight loss results from improved digestion, and is not based on counting calories or grams of fat.

Upside
. You can eat as much of the specific foods as you wish; there is never a reason to measure portions or worry about calorie intake. Weight loss tends to be rapid due to elimination of many higher calorie foods.

Downside
. Due to limited food choices, protein, zinc, vitamin D and vitamin B12 are consumed in insufficient amounts. In order to follow the food combining guidelines you may have to radically alter the way you eat.
