The Bonus Years Diet

[Janet]

This diet looks pretty good. Any diet that includes chocolate, red wine and nuts has my attention. Has anyone tried it and does it work well? I'm looking for a diet that isn't too hard to follow and includes some naturally good treats incorporated into it so I don't feel like I'm giving up all the good stuff.

I don't believe in this one. It seems to be appealing to those of us who want something that is too good to be true. I tend to lean toward the Mediterranean or DASH diet for something realistic

[MadMike]

I dunno. Looks good to me!

I agree with you Bonnie. I find that diets like these tempt you into getting into the habit of eating stuff that you don't actually need in your diet. They're just things that you want. I think you're far more likely to hinder your weight loss goals rather than meet them with a diet like this one.

What exactly does this diet say you an eat?

[Speeddemon]

Apparently you can eat red wine, dark chocolate, fruits and vegetables, fish, garlic and nuts. These are the 7 "miracle" foods that are miraculously going to help you lose weight and help you live a longer life. I'm sorry to say, but this diet looks like a load of BS in my opinion.

I don't like anything that declares things "super" or "miracle" foods

I still looks good to me, too MadMike haha. That said, because so many of you seem a little put off by it, I think I'll look into it more and find out what's really involved. Maybe I'll pick up the book and give it a read before I actually make any commitments. Thanks
