How Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet Works
The program is broken into 4 sections that focuses on slowly developing good lifelong food and exercise habits. Unlike other diets, there is no timeline and dieters take their time as they move to the next phase. Phase 1 starts you off with written exercises to help dieters get to the core of their weight loss questions and basic stretching and physical exercises to get you started slowly. After Phase 1, the other phases start to focus on specific behavior changes and more exercise and eating guidelines.
You stick with the regular meal schedule of 3 meals and day and 2 snacks. Workout regime starts at 50-75 minutes PER week and as you advance to the higher stages, the time increases. What dieters might find interesting is that strength training doesn’t start till the last phase after good eating habits and behaviors have changed.

Oprah’s Own Success Story
Excerpt from The Best Life Diet – by Oprah Winfrey
Another thing I know for sure now is that you’ve got to ask yourself, What kind of life do you want and how close are you to living it? You cannot ever live the life of your dreams without coming face to face with the truth. Every unwanted pound creates another layer of lies. It’s only when you peel back those layers that you will be set free: Free to work out, free to eat responsibly, free to live the life you want and deserve to live. Tell the truth and you’ll learn to eat to satisfy your physical hunger and stop burying your hopes and dreams beneath layers of fat.
A young woman on my show who had been struggling with her weight once said to me she’d learned to challenge the pain and not the peanut butter. I thought that was brilliant. Once you work on what’s eating you, you won’t want to eat so much.
The Best Life Diet plan on the following pages mirrors the way I eat and live now. There is no secret to losing weight. It’s simple physics; what you put in vs. what you put out.
I lost weight in stages. First I became active, and I still work out even though I really hate it, but I know if I don’t I will end up 200 pounds again. Then I started working on my eating. I stopped eating past 7:30 at night. When Bob told me it would make a big difference in my weight, I resisted. I thought it was going to be too hard. But I was surprised to find that it wasn’t; even more surprised when it turned out to be one of the most effective changes I made.
I’ve now taken most of the bad foods out of my diet and replaced them with good. I eat smaller portions and I eat healthy foods as a way of life, not a diet to go on and off. And I’m always working on getting better. My diet is a work in progress.
