Duke Diet

What the experts at Duke University say about dieting

The Duke Diet and Fitness Centre has been in existence in 1969 but has only recently gone online. I wasn’t even aware of it until I began a search of online diet programs and happened to find it in a search. With my busy schedule, I don’t have time to go to places like Weight Watchers or Nutri System, so having something available online fits my lifestyle perfectly.

The Duke Diet includes not only a personalized diet plan but also a fitness routine, behavioural strategies, and medical assistance. The combination of these four components makes the diet easier to follow and use than any other online diet program I have seen.

The first step with the Duke diet is a diet review evaluation after which the experts will help you develop a personalized meal plan. There is no one meal plan on the Duke Diet—each dieter has his or her own plan based on their needs and lifestyle. You work with nutritional and fitness experts in order to develop the right program that allows you to lose the weight you need to lose safely and prevent it from returning.

Unlike many online diets, your success will be monitored and there are experts who can help you with any questions and concerns you may have.

With daily meal plans in my email, it was easy to plan meals that were healthy and would help me reach my weight loss goals. I had never been very big on exercise, so learning to develop a fitness program was a very big step for me. I found it very helpful to work with the experts in order to develop my program and to answer any questions I had.

Through my program there was always someone there to assist with any questions or concerns and to address any other diet-related issues. I felt very comfortable, and when I reached a point when I was not losing weight, they gave me some great suggestions to help me out of the slump.

The Duke Diet is not a rapid weight loss plan but rather encourages a healthy weight loss of one to two pounds weekly. I won’t call my results typical because I’ve always had a rather fast metabolism, so with the addition of the fitness program, I averaged about ten pounds monthly and was able to reach my goal in about three months.

I have maintained my goal weight within a couple of pounds for the past six months, and on the occasion when I have put on a couple pounds, I go back on the Duke Diet until I lost it again.

I would recommend this diet for anyone who has had problems with diets in the past and has been unable to lose weight or has failed to succeed in weight loss. I have kept all of the information I received when I was on the diet and turn to it whenever the need arises.
