"How do you prevent those constant food cravings and feelings of deprivation when trying to lose weight? Host of The Biggest Loser and celebrity trainer Bob Harper's Super Carb Diet is the answer. This diet focuses on nutrient-dense foods that are big in flavor and allow certain kinds of carbohydrates at targeted times during the day. How to eat carbs earlier in the day for sustained energy. A list of super-carb foods. Limited snacks but larger and more varied meals. A way of eating that's sustainable. Super-charged weight loss. This diet will help people from giving up after Week One. Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Weigh your food. Weigh yourself. Work out. Monitor your waist. The plan involves three square meals a day plus one "floater" meal per day, for 90 days. The program leads you through precise plate proportions, balancing good protein, low fat, high fiber, and nutrient density. Not only will you lose significant weight and whittle your waistline, you'll walk away from the table feeling happy and full. Since his much-publicized heart attack in February 2017, Bob Harper has redoubled his efforts to educate and enlighten his fans about nutrition and its role in building health. "After my heart attack, I was searching for a way to balance my diet without gaining weight," Bob said. "I needed a diet high in nutrients that would help me maintain my weight and give me the energy I needed to recover. The dieting world went back in time to find variations of the caveman diet, but I found those high-protein plans had too much fat and weren't so great for my heart. They didn't work for me. The problem was my craving for certain complex carbohydrates, so for me a Paleo diet was difficult to sustain." Bob Harper is the author of Jumpstart to Skinny, The Skinny Rules and Skinny Meals"--Provided by publisher.
