Total Body Makeover Review
The Total Body Makeover is more than just a diet program. It is a transition in thought, a transition in lifestyle, an aid to assist in changing habits - it is actually a way of life.
If you have watched Oprah over the last few years, you have probably witnessed an amazing transition. Once overweight, and lacking in optimal health, Oprah has come a long way!
|
The transition has been amazing! She is now bold, beautiful, thin, and more confident than ever! This was all made possible by Oprah's trainer, Bob Greene. Oprah discovered the secret to successful weight loss, seeking balance, and confidence.
Bob Greene believes that it takes more than changing the way that you eat to be successful when it comes to weight loss. He believes changing your level of physical activity, as well as your attitude in general is required to be successful. He wishes to express the fact that when it comes to dieting, we must view food as nourishment.
The reason he does this is that he firmly believes that most weight gain is accomplished through the means of eating in an emotional nature. If we view food as something that is required for nutrition, rather than something that is comforting, we will be successful. This is one reason he has been designated as Oprah's trainer - his outside the box perspective and methods.
Food You Can Eat
Bob Greene's plan is not your everyday diet regime; it is more or less a way that you can adjust to making the right food choices. It is a 12 week program that has five general rules when it comes to deciding what should be consumed, and what should not be consumed. These five rules are:
- First, you must recognize if and when you eat based on emotions.
- Next, it is important to integrate breakfast into your daily routine.
- You have to consume a large amount of water daily so that you may remain properly hydrated.
- Consuming alcohol should be either limited or stopped completely.
- There should be a time that you set for each day in which you will quit eating for the day.
Exercise
The exercise regime that is part of the Total Body Makeover is extensive. During the 12 weeks of the program, you will engage in physical training that will include cardiovascular exercises, body strengthening, aerobics, and even overall functional type exercises.
