Diet Plans And Menus - The Ornish Diet:

The Ornish Diet, also known as the Life Choice Diet, was created by Doctor Dean Ornish. He is widely known for his lifestyle-driven approach to the control of coronary artery disease (CAD). This is a vegetarian diet rich in fiber and complex glucides. It has a very low level of cholesterol. Fats represent at most 10% of the foods consumed. The changes in your eating habits are destined to last a lifetime. Here are some of the diet principles.

Place the accent on legumes, fruits, vegetables and grains. Eat the following in moderation: salt, low-fat dairy products, low-fat processed foods, and coffee without cream. Avoid the following: meat, poultry, fish, oils, dressings, sugar and sugar derivatives, alcohol, avocados, nuts, olives, and regular dairy products. Exercise regularly at a medium intensity level. Doing so may reduce your appetite and consequently help you lose weight. There is no restriction on serving size; eat until you are full. Adopt a more spiritual attitude. According to Doctor Ornish not consuming certain foods renders mealtime more spiritual. This diet also suggests meditation, which is said to have many positive effects.
