Anything Goes Diet Review- Weight Loss Without The Rules
How do I lose weight while eating intuitively? What if I intuitively like to eat out, go to parties, eat donuts, or participate in family pizza night? Is it hopeless?
I get a lot of e-mails that are some variation of the above. People desperately want to relax the rules but how do you do that and lose weight? Or stay lean? Well, John Barban has written a whole program on that very subject, The Anything Goes Diet.
John Barban is a former dietary and sports supplement researcher as well as a former strength and conditioning coach. He is also author of the Adonis Effect and Venus Index. John’s had many clients who have successfully used this approach to lose weight. John himself had to go through this to lose 30lbs.
It basically reinforces the law of thermodynamics that states that you have to use more calories than you take in to lose weight. If this happens to be while eating cookies, candy, cake, and beer, you will still lose weight. In fact John goes in to some scientific studies that prove that this is true and that “burn more than we take in” should be the main focus of weight loss. In short, you’ll be able to eat your favorite foods and still lose weight. The reason this book is so great is that John Barban combines all the best facets of science, psychology, and common sense.
What Can The Anything Goes Diet Do For You? Let’s take a look at the product’s web page for this one, and find out what exactly they are saying about themselves:
Variety: All foods (including pizza, ice cream and chocolate) can be part of the anything goes diet; Flexibility: You don’t have to rearrange your life to lose weight, this diet will fit into your schedule; Practicality: You’ll never have to eat special super foods or crazy cleanses or choke down bizarre food combinations; Simplicity: We don’t give you a long list of do’s and don’t’s, instead there are just a few simple principles to guide all of your eating decisions; Personalized: Working with your personal tastes and habits is what makes a diet work long term.
There are no off-limits foods, no meal timing rules, no special ratios, no absurd protein requirements, just a deficit, a consistent, no-hassle, eating what you like, deficit. John Barban and intermittent fasting guy, Brad Pilon, are pals and have very similar philosophies on eating what you love and having a life. You shouldn’t have to become a clock-watching obsessive compulsive eater to be lean. Your “diet” should fit your life, not the other way around. John’s approach is all about including socializing, fast food and favorite treats. I picked up a few great tips I’d never even thought of, Bethennyesque tips. Eating in at a fast food restaurant? Toss part of the fries in the trash on your way to sit down. WHAT?! I will totally use that because you can’t order “small” anything anymore. It would work for movie popcorn too.
To give you a feel for the program, some of the chapters are:
Calorie Guessing – Guessing Is Better Than Counting
Think Weekly – Nothing Changes in One Day
It’s ALL GOOD – There Is No “Bad” Food
All About You – Only Compare Yourself to Yourself
So if you are keen on losing weight or just want to change your eating lifestyle to a healthier one, or to maintain your already fit body, I suggest you to read John Barban’s Anything Goes Diet. The Anything Goes Diet is unbelievably simple to implement and easy to follow, it has a lot of good advice and can help you to lose weight and still eat whatever you want to.
