Healthy Living on The Digest Diet [One Month Challenge]

I have never been one to give into diet fads and crazes, but when I heard about The Digest Diet I figured — since it is so popular and since the author is highly regarded — I might as well try it. That brings me to this post and deciding to do a One Month Challenge because, let’s be honest, if I didn’t have anyone to report to, I might not actually do it! Lucky for me however, I have you guys!

Okay, on to the challenge! So The Digest Diet is a book written by acclaimed author and Editor-in-Chief of Reader’s Digest, Liz Vaccariello. You can buy the book here if you’re interested in doing the diet along with me. It’s a really great read so far and I can’t wait to start changing the way I eat and exercise. It has some really interesting facts about fats.

Did you know that there are fat releasers? Vitamin C, Calcium, Dairy – I was shocked to see dairy on there. I love me some cheese, but really? Protein, PUFAs and MUFAs are monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturates. I love chocolate, nuts, olive oil and avocado. I think this will be okay right? Coconut Oil, Resveratrol – red wine! – Fiber and Vinegar, and Quinoa, Honey, and Cocoa! This is a good thing.

Let’s all pray for me.

    I'm a little tired of all the one month challenges being about dieting. First the special K, then the gluten free, now this? I'm all for eating healthy, but how about a little variety?

    I do not leave a response, however after reading a few of the comments on Healthy Living on The Digest Diet [One Month Challenge] : CollegeCandy – Life, Love & Style For The College Girl.

    I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Is it just me or do some of the comments come across as if they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional sites, I’d like

    to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you list of the complete

    urls of all your social networking sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook

    page or twitter feed?

    You need at least $30,000 a year to live comfortably. Minimum wage won't allow you to enjoy your own apartment. For most decent jobs, you need a bachelor's degree from an accredited college.

    It is really difficult to follow a diet chart strictly but with strong determination we can do it. Obesity is a major problem that most of the people are facing and they are trying various methods to reduce weight. A healthy lifestyle is also required to have safe weight . I think this book "The digest diet" will help a lot in controlling weight and people can have a healthy body. http://urgentcarenow.com/directory/ny
