As part of my IMPROVED ME series this month, I’m taking a look at a topic that many of us take on in January: diets. Each Saturday I’ll review one of the latest diet book trends and see how easy it is to follow and if you lose weight. Our first look is at Dr. Salerno's Silver Cloud Diet: The Sustainable Diet for the 21st Century. Written by Internationally acclaimed medical expert on aging and weight loss and James Beard Award-Winning cookbook author Linda Eckhardt, the Silver Cloud Diet t is first a quick plan to drop weight and then ultimately a lifestyle changing system. “This three-step proactive approach to nutrition is based on organic unprocessed foods, high protein, natural fat, and low-carbohydrate, low-glycemic choices, fortified with pure natural nutritional supplements targeted to strengthen your immune system, reduce inflammation, and destroy free radicals.”
Since Salerno studied under the creator of the Atkins diet,
so the diet plan seems very similar to the little-to-no-carb plan that was all
the rage in the late 90s. However, a majority of the book also explains how the
toxins and poisoned food supply is affecting our health. Once to the plan itself,
several delicious recipes are included to make your two weeks tolerable.
Baseline: if you don’t like meat, eggs and nuts, this diet isn’t for you. But
if you can survive the two-week detox, this plan might be a great way to jump
off the way to healthier eating, living and even stop the effects of aging.
While I haven’t decided whether this plan works for my
lifestyle, it is in consideration. The benefits of the diet are amazing; normalizing weight and eliminating prediabetic conditions, but the use of several supplements that makes me a little aprehensive. However, the overall benefits of regulating body function, controling hunger and stopping hunger without counting calories, but through portion control is an excellent learning tool for any healthy eating plan.
