Ornish Diet Review | Spectrum Diet Review
 You can eat more and weigh less. The Spectrum Diet is also called the Ornish Diet after its creator, Dr. Dean Ornish. The Spectrum Diet claims that it will help you to "feel better, live longer, lose weight and gain health." How Does It Work? The Spectrum Diet can be adapted to a wide 'spectrum' of needs or desires. You can use it to lose weight, you can also tailor it to lower your blood pressure, reverse heart disease, prevent or reverse diabetes, and treat prostate or breast cancer. The more you follow the diet, the more you will benefit. Dr. Dean Ornish categorizes foods into five different groups. Group 1 is the healthiest and group 5 is the most indulgent. The more food that you eat from group 1, the more health benefits and weight loss benefits you will gain.

A multi-vitamin with minerals and B-12 supplement is recommended. 
Sample Spectrum Diet MenuBreakfast: Whole-grain cereal with fat-free yogurt and orange juice Lunch: Baked potatoes stuffed with fat-free cheese and spinach and broccoli; potato salad with fat-free dressing, or a green salad with fresh fruit Dinner: Bread with tomatoes and capers, whole-meal pasta with vegetables, and peaches in wine for dessert Drinks: Water, tea, coffee, skim milk, juices Does It Work? Yes. Lower calories coupled with exercise should help you to lose weight. Advertisement: Fruits, vegetables, and fiber are healthy The diet is low in sodium Exercise helps with weight loss as well as improving overall health By eating low acid foods that are high in minerals you will have stronger bones. Reducing sugar and alcohol helps with losing weight and disease prevention. An extremely low fat, high carb diet is considered to be good for people with heart disease. Affordable, except for added cost for 'organic', your food bill should not change much.  Negatives: Meat lovers may find this diet hard to do. The low fat side of this diet makes long term diet difficult. No sweets may be difficult for some folks. You will need to plan and prepare meals. Conclusion: The Spectrum Diet/ Ornish Diet is a healthy diet and should promote weight loss and other health benefits. Since it may be a difficult diet for most people, I do not give it a thumbs up. It is a worthy diet, but you will find that there may be other diets that are just as good and easier to stick with. The Mediterranean and the Atkins Diets are a couple of suggestions.
