My goal is 25 lbs but I have lost inches. Do not worry too much about losing the pounds. You will start to notice changes. Just keep sticking to the diet and excerise. Lost 7 lbs. Then, nothing. I work out half hour, at least 5X week. I expected more after all his hype. This is a very complex diet with lots of difficult-to-find foods. I lost just as well with his old diet book and recipes, which were much simpler.
I am not fond of cooking but have found the recipes quick and easy to make. If you have OAS you can probably have well-cooked apples but not raw — cooked apples would be weird in some of the recipes, but when it asks you to eat an apple you could have a baked apple.
Can you have other related fruits, such as pears? Serving sizes seem to be about the same as well — e. I love some of the earlier recipes and hope I can keep them in my repertoire. From earlier posts I see that if I hit a plateau I can go back to phase 1. Otherwise do i stay on phase three? Is it a must to eat the recipes as given vs.
Making up your own with TH 20foods listed? Is there a metabolic or scientific reason the foods in given recipes, work together to help loose the weight. They all contain some protein legume, nut, tofu , fruit or vegetable dried plums, apple, spinach, raisins , and fat peanut butter, olive oil, nuts. Thank you Sir.
Loving the book. Where do we see detailed directions for the resistance training days? Can you substitute raw peanuts in the shell in place of the pistachios as plain unsalted pistachios are very expensive to buy where I live and I wondered if this would be okay. Phil says they stick to your ribs, making you feel full and satisfied.
I love the fact that this book is research evidence-based. Unfortunately, as the world becomes a global village, many people from outside the United States will purchase the book, only to have issues with getting the right ingredients to purchase, or the exact type of ingredients, or understanding the vocabulary employed in the recipe. For example, I searched all known popular shops in Nigeria for the ingredients to no avail, and when I am able to get some eg cinnamon, I would discover that it exists in several forms, such as oil, stick, but the book has only said cinnamon without indicating the form etc.
I wonder if Dr Phil or anyone can provide alternatives to these ingredients, as well as video demonstrations of how to prepare the meals, so that non-Americans can also benefit from the book? Dream Dr. Phil my boyfriend really needs help losting weight but it is hard for him BC he is taken med… For this and for that but we need ur help… What could we do to help to lose the weight he is 50 years old..
Please help if u could.. Thank you. If you want to contact Dr. My favorite book on that condition is Irritable Bowel Solutions by Professor John Hunter, which differentiates between different types of IBS to help you work out how to fix the issues that affect you personally. I was wondering about that myself. My sister is on the diet with me and she has type 2 diabetes and she takes three kinds of medication to keep her sugar down, but, she said since she started this diet, her morning readings have been around to and a doctor that she did a follow up with for another problem, told her that is considered high.
She was wondering why is it high while on diet? Were her morning readings lower before starting the diet? If so, what kind of diet was she previously eating? This diet contains some complex carbs — some people with diabetes do better on a lower carb diet. I also wanted to mention, that, I always still feel hungry after eating a meal because the portions are so small. Also I wanted to make the meals for my whole family but the portions are too small so I have trouble figuring how much ingredients to add to make enough for everyone.
At first I was making separate meals for my brother and son while I made the diet meals for me and my sister, but, that gets expensive. I just need some advice on how to prepare these foods for a family of four. For phases 1 and 2, the diet is pretty restrictive — it may be worth creating separate meals for the rest of your family, especially in phase 1. Why no red meat? No pork or beef we buy from a local farmer so I know what goes into it or I buy organic. The other meat we have a lot is venison.
This diet, like many others, claims to improve your overall health. I wish you all good luck. I have been over lbs, got down to on Akavar, an over the counter pill and did 4 miles of walking each morning at the gym. I am 56 now, and I had lost the weight about 5 years ago. Then, I needed surgery, could not walk. I heard and it worked, that even minimum exercise and the right foods can help you lose weight. I could not walk and stayed on Monster drinks, etc, went from to ….
I wish I could wire my mouth shut! I am looking at all your comments and my goodness, I really hope it works for those of you with willpower: I am back up there at and hate it.
Now, thanks to my bad choices of Monster drinks, energy drinks, my liver and kidneys are bad. I think the Dr Phil lifetime diet is great, after some counseling, I am going to do this. Ha, I had to be locked up in a cabin in Twenty Nine palms with no grocery stores nearby for 3 months. I am just beginning to read this book, so I skipped down to the comment section. I am excited to start this diet after reading all the great comments.
Lose and then gain it back plus more. I do drink Diet Pepsi everyday, and intend to continue to do so on this diet.
Is this really taboo? Phil is pretty definite about saying that you should avoid artificial sweeteners. Where can you find Rye flakes and pasta? Does anyone know if the app is available in Canada? What cereal would be a good substitute for the shredded wheat? I am gluten intolerant and can not have that kind. Phil says that if you have problems with gluten, you can substitute rye bread with gluten-free whole-grain bread.
Hi i live in Ireland i have just started Phase One and i would like to know when Dr Phil talks about a serving of natural none fat yogurt how many ozs is he talking about. Thanking you Catherine. Chobani, Dannon, Oikos and Stonyfield single-serve containers are 5. You could include some phase 1 recipes in phase 2, but try to have some variety and not the same foods with every meal. I feel I need a change up so decided to boost my incentive. I am not kidding you!
I am on phase 2 now and willing to keep going with this kind of success. Thank you! Phil has type 2 diabetes, and he claims that this diet can help lose weight when you have type 2 diabetes.
I started it 6 weeks ago and have lost 10 pounds. My goal is I am 53 years old and found that the pounds had been slowly creeping up on me over the last several years.
Just make something out of the book and move on. Good luck to everyone trying this diet. I hope you have success. Congratulations on your success and feeling healthier, and thanks for letting everybody know about it! I am 78 years old. In the last 28 months I have lost 33 pounds. However, since Dec. I live in a seniors lode and my meals are prepared foe me. Can you help me with a few recipes that I can make for myself?
Congratulations on your weight loss so far! The only recipes I can find from Dr. Has anybody else found another resource for recipes for this diet? You could try substituting them with another allowed fat or an allowed vegetable plus an allowed fat, although you might have to be inventive in some of the recipes! Phase 1 avoids salt completely. For the lifelong diet, he says to avoid salty foods — it looks like this is the point at which you could start sensibly adding small amounts of salt.
I purchase the Dr. Phil Diet Book and got it on E book. I can not eat yogurt. In the book it says substitute milk for yogurt. Is there anything else I can use in the smoothies? If I am simply not hungry for the 4th meal of the day, do I have to eat it anyways?
This is based on 4 small meals, so with eating only 3, will I be messing up any progress I might make? Where does cabbage fit into this diet?
I love the additional crunch when added to a lettuce salad. Cabbage is a leafy green, so you can use it in phase 2 or phase 3 or the management phase as a vegetable. I completed the first 3 days with no cheating, however I messed up on Day 4 and 5.
Do I restart phase 1 or do i redo those two days and move on to Phase 2? Someone please help. Im debating on which I should buy? Salt in its natural form Himalayan or Natural sea salt is not bad for us, and our bodies need it to function properly, much like our bodies need water.
I bought the e-book en signed in on the app. I need to lose 30 KG. You could try checking with the publisher. Just a slight comment……. Eggs come from chickens or other fowl. Not from cows!!!! Thanks for your feedback. I know this is just a pet peeve of mine but lots of items are in the dairy section including ready to bake cookies, lunchables for kids, jello ,terrible drinks and many more! What was once the dairy section is now an area filled with chemical and preservatives.
Thanks for the response. Dr phils diet is working for many. I have medical issues that keep me from excercize. Pls is there a diet for not eating much. We are limited income and get I have lost all self esteam and have no social life. Sorry to hear that. However, many of the foods on this diet can be low cost — e. Instead, could you bulk up on lower-cost but unrefined foods? I will be getting this book today!
Snacks for phase 1 are listed on page They include: peanut butter and dried plums on rye crackers; roasted chickpeas on apple; homemade spinach hummus; raisins and almonds; tofu with walnuts and raisins on rye crisps. I am a breast cancer survivor and I have been on Tamoxifen for the past 5 years.
I was told by my doctor that he would like for me to be on it for another 5 years. Tamoxifen is a weight gainer for me. I have struggled with losing weight the last 5 years. I gained over 50 pounds from chemo treatments and steroids. And I was overweight prior to cancer by 50 pounds so I have pounds to lose, or 90 pounds as my doctor has told me what weight her would like for me to be at.
My question is, will this diet work with my Tamoxifen? Is there any supplements that I need to take I most likely will not be able to as most of them counter act with my Tamoxifen. Do any of the foods contain large amounts of Soy as I have been told that I need to avoid Soy products due to the hormones as my cancer was hormone base.
Thanks for all your help. However, Dr. I bought the audio version and Dr Phil gave a website to download the recipes and other paperwork. Does anyone know how to get it? I have this book, but, would like to find a grocery shopping list to print out for easier shopping versus having to copy it from the book itself? Has anyone found this anywhere? I hope it exists, will make shopping much easier!
Brown Rice is not very tasty if I make it ahead. Do you know if I can substitute a rye crisp for brown rice or wild rice in the phase 3 recipes. Rye crisps are fast and easy and I like them. Thank you for any advice you can give me on this matter.
However, you should probably be getting a bit of variety in what you eat, which is part of the reason for having more variety in phase 3. Have you tried freezing cooked brown rice, instead of refrigerating it? It might last longer. I am on my 3rd attempt at this diet.
Cannot seem to get through phase 1 because I get extremely bored as I am limited to only a few of the recipes. I cannot eat mustard…. Alternatively, you could just try skipping the mustard in recipes that contain it. Penny, I have knee problems and my friend has problems with her feet we both have been enjoying doing atkins for 3 months for me 2. Have you tried pilates? This is the first diet that I have tried and actually lost weight. Hello Penny Hammond.
I have never really exercise Dont know where to start with the whole diet and exercise thing. If I was to buy this book will it be a big help and a new start of this journey for me. Could you borrow the book from the library to see how you feel about it, or have a look through it at a bookstore, and then buy it if you feel comfortable with it?
You can look through the whole book at a bookstore, or borrow it from a library. Can I eat from phase one or two dinner plan during phase three? If your extremely over weight like lbs over weight do you do the phases like book says or do you say on stage one longer. To lose so many pounds or a certain lenght of time. Phil asks you to do all the phases for the number of days suggested, then repeat the whole cycle phases over a day period, then phases over the next day period, etc.
I understand the 5 days for each 0f phases 1 and 2 and 10 days for 3 and 4 together. But since there are 7 days in each week, do we go the 5 days, then on the 6th day continue on the next phase? That would only be Thirty days is stated in the book. Please explain. There are 30 days in each cycle. Does that make sense? So my question is , Is this another fad diet? During the weight-loss part of the diet, there are some unusual guidelines that seem a bit faddish, e.
You can get through it, be strong! Would you please add me to your Facebook group. I am on phase 3 for my first round. I have the book and the kindle version.
But I need more and this website has encouraged me. Could really use a support group. The advice on food choices still focuses on low-fat products and avoidance of red meat. My body responds better to lower carb and high-fat except trans fat foods. Red meat and fat are not evil. Is this unavailable for iPad? The version you can get on your phone is The Diet by Bird St.
I am going to start this diet in hopes of losing weight and feeling healthier. I am a two time cancer survivor colon and breast cancer. So was a very rough year for me. Wish me luck!! Is honey ever allowed? Also, my husband and I both cannot handle eating fish. The only time Dr. For lifetime maintenance, he says you can have sugars in very small amounts on sensible splurges only.
Well, I bought Dr. I picked it up from time to time, read a little, put it down. Then pick it back up and put it down. Over 50 years now I have tried every diet that you could think of. I would lose weight, of course never reaching my goal before I would start back eating the wrong things, then the weight would come back. I would get discouraged and hate myself every time.
I eat when I am sad and I eat when I am glad! When I was growing up my Mom would cook the best meals. Fresh peas, cornbread, fried chicken, cream corn and ice tea. She was a great cook. We never went hungry and really could eat all we want.
My Momma went to be with the Lord this past July 30, and I miss her terribly. Reading it constantly, getting a feel of how it is suppose to work. Ready to see where it leads me. I like the idea that the meals are there for you to choose from. Makes the decisions easier. Now as to whether it work, I am thinking positive. I am determined to make it on this program, to see a year from now what I will look like. I am so ready to be healthier. So, Dr.
I may, Dr. Even so, I am going to believe in my heart that you are and continue down the road to success. Thanks for reading this and pray with me that I succeed. God Bless You Dr. Happy New Year to you and Robin! Is there a reason why Dr. Phil only specifies three types of Apple to choose from, i. Red delicious, golden delicious and Granny Smith? In the grocery list Appendix A, Dr. Can I continue to eat any phase 1 recipes into phase 2 and 3?
And the same for phase 2 recipes in phase 3. Thanks, j. For the Management phase, Dr. You are no longer in that phase. There are 3 support groups on Facebook that have quite a few members: — Dr. You can see the measurements you put in by going to Settings and then selecting Measurements. Can you have sea scallops on the 20 20 diet? I have ordered my book and it is back ordered. Still waiting. So I started on my own Not really sure what I can eat. Other seafood options are listed in the book — salmon, shrimp, tuna chunk light, canned in water — so presumably sea scallops would be okay, as the only restriction given on seafood is that it should be low-mercury.
If a recipe calls for an ingredient I do not like can I eliminate. Can I have two smoothies per day and how much whey should I eat per day? Can I have almonds and raisins for my snack every day. Where is the best place to purchase unsweetened whey? You can look for unsweetened whey powder online , or at vitamin stores, health food stores, or even in some supermarkets.
You should probably vary your snacks, so you get the nutritional punch from a variety of different foods. I do not receive anything in my email. Can you help me? You could also try registering again, and getting a new password.
And as women you should be going with a pea protein not whey. Take it from someone with PCOS who gained 60 pounds in a year from a disorder and could not lose a single pound eating single portions, I did the raw juice diet and lost 15 pounds. Only to regain it back later, the time it takes me to lose one pound with my condition takes a woman without my condition same time to lose 10 pounds.
I have been on paleo for over a month now and I am down 15 pounds. Meats, seafood, nuts,seeds,fruits and vegetables. Fatty meats are even encouraged! Is there anywhere to get information on where to buy the foods? Any insight on that or some of the other 20 foods? Look for nonfat yogurt, then look at the ingredients to check that the only sweetener is sugar or a natural sugar not artificial sweetener.
For the other 20 foods, most can be bought in any supermarket, but some can be bought online — in the page about there are links to some of the ingredients that may be a little harder to find in the supermarket.
Hi I would like to know if you are breastfeeding can I eat the man portion. Can some one please give me advice. I was so hungry doing the first 5 days. I also do T25 work out. I just finished the first 5 days. I have lost 6 lbs. I only needed to lose about 10 as well. The last time I dieted it took me 2 months to lose 10 lbs on a calorie or less diet.
The combo of foods I guess is what is doing it. I have lost 45 in 98 days check out our Facebook page. See if you need to update to the latest version. You can also try sending a request to this email address, which is listed on the Google Play page — birdstreetbooks1 gmail. I loathe most vegetables. I also hate fish and most nuts, except for macadamia nuts and cashews. Somehow, I knew it would come this. I am wondering if there is a comparable substitute for Cod?
I have done online searches and it is very expensive. Does Dr Phil recommend another fish I could use instead? So you could try that instead, or just pick another fish that works for you although it may not have quite the same benefits. According to your word you are doing a lot of walking and exercising. You are, most likely, losing fat but gaining muscle which burns fat, ya!
Muscle weighs more than fat so that is why you are not seeing such large numbers! Keep up your good work. I love this diet. I started on Nov. I still need to lose an additional 15lbs to hit my goal, so my plan is to go back to phase 1 and dig in to the exercise portion. I really need to lose 25pounds,,,but I have a question, I cannot eat very much green Veggies because of my blood thinner…What could I sub for this…?
These show that raw vegetables are a lot lower in vitamin K than cooked ones. You can eat most of the raw leafy green vegetables recommended on this diet raw, instead of cooked. Check with your doctor to make sure this is okay.
My husband and I have been on this diet for 14 days now and it has been very successful for both of us thus far. The first week Phase 1 started out relatively painless, but I started to suffer withdrawal symptoms irritability about mid-week. Week-two Phase II was much easier, adding more foods and condiments to the mix.
Thank God. We did eat out on Phase II due to the July 4th holiday — so you could say we cheated…but we still ate foods that were one the diet. I had rotisserie chicken, a dry baked potato and salad with vinegar. Despite that — we have still lost weight. This is the first diet that has been successful for me. I tried WW, but soon realized that I needed more restriction and discipline than that plan allows.
This is a no-fail diet. I still have 60 lbs to lose, but this has given me hope. I feel better, my clothes fit much better and I even find myself not craving a Coke…which is for me a big deal. I hope that anyone interested will give it a go. I found out that rye crisp crackers are o longer available. What is your suggestion for replacement? Is rye bread acceptable.? The book lists these foods for rye: Whole-grain rye products such as rye crackers, rye flakes, and rye bread.
So make sure the rye bread is whole grain! Only white meats and seafood, dairy, eggs, and vegetable protein are listed as proteins allowed on this diet.
I will complete the 30 days tomorrow. I am excited to share that I have lost I am looking forward to visiting my doctor in the next month if my blood pressure continues to stay low. Maybe I can reduce my prescriptions, be healthier, and save money! I have anther pounds to go and know the pace will slow down. I know usually 2 pounds a week is a good average. I miss my chocolate and beef!!!! I hope the doctor visit went well and they were impressed and reduced your prescriptions.
Having great success on this diet, I was beginning to think there was a medical reason for not losing weight, thank you Dr Phil. My questions is about rye crisps, what exactly are they? I am from Canada but do shop in the U. I have been eating a gluten free multigrain bread instead of rye, but some rye crisps would be nice. Thanks again. You can also click on the links in the food list above to get to Amazon pages for the foods.
Okay I am thrilled and convinced that this is the way to eat and live well. I was diagnosed with Temporal Arteritis, an was prescribed 80 mg of prednisone. In 3 months I lost 30 lbs instead of gaining 30 more from the steroids. I shocked myself and my doctors. It was not a pleasant diagnosis but this food plan saved my sanity and gave me hope at handling my situation.
It was amazing.. It is definitely work abut worth it. I wanted to take off the menopause lbs and did not want to be a middle-aged fat person. It is a great plan and we truly have never felt better. Its a lifestyle change. Be prepared to put in the effort of frequent shopping for fresh foods and meal prep. Its not a plan for lazy people but its worth it. I eat eggs, milk and milk products and legumes as protein source.
