Eating Well for Optimum Health Dr. Weil's Anti-Inflammatory Diet Review
The idea behind Dr. Weil's diet is that you can eat healthy, reduce inflammation, and lose weight as a bonus. Dr. Weil does not present the diet as a weight loss plan, rather it is a way to eat healthy for life. How Does It Work? The diet is aimed at reducing inflammation which in turn helps prevent diseases related to age and promotes wellness. According to Dr. Weil, inflammation can result in serious diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. His diet is meant to bolster your physical health and your mental health, improve energy and lower your risk of age related diseases. The diet is based on an intake of around 2,000 to 3,000 calories a day. The amount of calories depend on gender and size. About half of you calories will come from carbohydrates, about 30% from fat and 20% from protein. Dr. Weil recommends a mix of all three sources at each meal. Dr. Weil puts a lot of focus on fresh fruits and vegetables which will be your main anti-inflammatory source. Regular consumption of omega 3 fatty acids is suggested with a strong avoidance of fried foods and fast foods. Dr. Weil steers us toward healthier carbs that do not spike our blood sugar levels and steers us away from saturated fat and steers us clear of foods such as margarine, partially hydrogenated oils, and vegetable shortening. Your fats will come from healthier sources such as avocados, nuts, and extra virgin olive oil. Fish is suggested twice a week or an omega 3 supplement.

Your protein sources will be less meat and more focused on foods such as fish, cheese, yogurt, beans and soy products, If you like tea, it is preferred over coffee. Dark Chocolate is OK, in moderation and if it is at least 70% and even a glass or two of red wine is allowed. You will be avoiding foods that are processed or packaged. You will be eating less animal protein, but fish is allowed almost every day. Vegan or Vegetarian? You can adapt the diet to vegan or vegetarian quite easily. Gluten Free? You can make the diet gluten free. Supplementation: Dr. Weil recommends supplementation and his book is rather specific as to what you will need.  Meetings: There are no in person meeting. You will find support is available from his website in the form of an eight week customized health plan, once you fill out the online assessment. In addition, his site also provides recipes, videos, and the ability to ask questions. Exercise: Although no specific exercise plan is recommended, exercise is encouraged. Cost: Your grocery bill probably may go up a little. The diet stresses eating fresh foods which can be more expensive. Level of Difficulty: For most people, I believe that Dr. Weil's Diet will be easier than most diets. If you love red meat, the diet may be more difficult or impossible. Anti-Inflammatory: An plant based diet, include this one, should be anti-inflammatory. The benefit is that you will decrease inflammation. Also omega 3 definitely decreases inflammation.
