Ornish Diet

The Ornish Diet was conceived by Dr. Dean Ornish, now known around the world for his success in helping people with heart disease improve or even reverse their conditions by making the right lifestyle changes. Ornish was one of the first to popularize the concept of the low-fat diet which swept America in the 1990s. His 2000 book, Eat More, Weigh Less, breaks down the concepts which he has used successfully in medicine to help people of every age lose weight successfully.

His weight loss plan may seem strict by some standards. There are simply some things you should eat and other things you should not eat. In his viewpoint, the “avoid” list includes just about everything that has fat: meat, fish, poultry, salad dressing, oils, nuts, full-fat dairy, butter (or margarine), and seeds. He also tells us to avoid anything “off the shelf” that has more than 2 grams of fat per serving. Oh, and he suggests giving up alcohol entirely as well.

What can you eat, you ask? Ornish suggests beans, fruits, vegetables, and grains. Nonfat dairy products and “fat-free” products you can buy at the store are also okay in moderation. This approach, says Ornish, will allow you to eat as much as you want, five or six times a day, and feel satisfied. But no cheating allowed. Also, he highly recommends exercising 30 minutes every day, or an hour three times a week.
