ANNE FLETCHER'S THIN FOR LIFE
As a registered dietician and nationally known health writer, Anne Fletcher feels that gradual weight loss is the key to keeping fit long-term. She developed Anne Fletcher's Thin for Life Diet which emphasizes belief in personal ability and balance in dieting practices.
Foods Emphasized: Low-fat foods such as fruits, vegetables, chicken and oats
Foods Discouraged: High-fat foods such as french fries, cheese, meat and nuts
Premise and Guidelines: Anne Fletcher has developed quite a good reputation for herself as a dietitian, author and counselor for those with addiction issues. It would seem natural that she carry the ‘addiction’ to food over to a weight-loss plan that claims to have long-lasting results, and boasts these results in her new books. The statistics are fact and research-based, and seem to indicate that Ms. Fletcher has a good thing going historically; she is also knowledgeable about behavior and addiction, and uses this expertise to address food consumption and health.
A study of over 200 individuals who had lost 20 pounds or more and managed to maintain their weight loss for over three years was the backbone of her initial planShe took parts of each successful to create a summary of ”10 keys to Success” in weight management. Her book also contains tips and recipes from the original participants in that study. This corresponds with her belief in personal heroes, as she states, “Who better to tell us how to lose weight than the ones who have mastered it?” We agree, Anne!
The diet is a low-fat, reduced-calorie meal plan. Dieters claim that this plan is motivating and balanced. Anne provides dieters with a variety of weight loss tips to help them lose weight and stay focused. the weight loss diet is healthy and balanced, and not overly restrictive. This is great for someone who wants to alter their mindset about dieting and can commit to gradual loss; otherwise, a quick-loss dieter would be unhappy about the time commitment to this program.
