Now available in paperback, The Reality Diet is the fool-proof solution to weight loss that has people all over the country dropping pounds and spreading the word about their success. Dr. Steven A. Schnur, founder of the largest cardiology practice in South Florida, developed this breakthrough program after seeing many of his patients "yo-yo" on fad diets that result in health-threatening side effects. Now, Dr. Schnur's program is available to everyone who wants to slim down in a healthy, sustainable way.
The Reality Diet is not low-carb, low-fat, or high protein. It's a diet rich with delicious foods from all food groups and high in one key fat-fighting ingredient-fiber. Not only does fiber stop hunger, it also significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other illnesses. With this flexible plan, readers will:
- learn to apply the 2:90 rule-the key to choosing nutritious carbs with the right fiber content;
- enjoy mouthwatering meals, using more than 200 quick and easy recipes;
- eat all the foods they love and have been told to avoid;
- lose two pounds a week and thirty pounds in three months; - learn proven strategies for maintaining weight loss for life.
With eight weeks of Action Plan menus for men and women, tips for eating in restaurants, as well as an effective exercise program, The Reality Diet is both a comprehensive weight-loss plan and a blueprint for lifelong health.

atkins diet
My last ob/gyn vist revealed according to my doctor pre-diabetes blood levels. she recommended a low calorie diet or read the atkins book. So not being a dietician, i picked up the book and started the low - carb diet craze. Now, i must say reading the book and looking at what i fed my body daily shocked me. but one of the biggest was skim milk. I love milk. I drink skim milk thinking it was low in fat. but the carbs? 13mg per serving!!!!!!!! whew! and i 'went' through 1-2 GALLONS of skim milk a week, and thinking i was doing my body a favor! That was a tough thing to swallow. The soda, ok, i can understand that like drinking a glass of sugar. I don't consider myself a huge soda drinker, i drank a bit. 7-8 servings of soda a week. that is a hugh carb intake. I am 5'6" tall. and my weight at its worst is 190. I used to be wickedly skinny, up until I was about 30. Then got married. and I enlarged and puffed up. I am 42 now, and overweight at 190. i have lost 5 pounds on the Atikins diet, and although I have not taken it's 'carb' count all that serious, my clothes are looser. i have stopped drinking milk and soda and have started a serious excercise regime. 1 hour of water aerobics 2 nights a week, and 1 night of hour deep water jogging, and 1 night of a 1/2 hour walk. I think and will always belive that my slacking off of excercise made me gain weight. I was always very active before, biking, hiking, rock climbing, and then i just stopped. I have no children in my marriage, I was never able to conceive, so that can't even be used as an excuse. my question is I guess, long story short. really the key to any diet is a true excercise program. i feel so much better since i have started working out. and though it's a 'slow' start (water aerobics) i feel good. also i think taking the sugars out of my diet, more vegtables and healthier eating. as I have not been following the atkins diet to a 't', I am slowly losing weight. I just speeled off a whole long comment, not even knowing if this will get to someone on this website. but it felt good.
