A review of the Change One Diet

The Change One diet works on the premise that other weight loss programs fail because they want you to do too much, too quickly. On the Change One diet, you gradually change what you eat, starting with breakfast and over the course of twelve weeks you change all the other meals including snacks. The major emphasis is on the size of the portions you are allowed to eat, not what you eat.

At first glance there seems to be nothing to make this weight loss diet stand out from all the others and it seems at first to be a glorified system for counting calories, where in fact you don’t count calories on this diet plan, the secret lies in the gradual weekly dietary changes and the clever system of visual clues, used for gauging portion sizes. In fact, you can eat just about anything you like on this diet and still loose weight.

Change One is the official Readers Digest Diet and was written by John Hastings with Peter Jaret and Mindy Herman, RD.

John Hastings is the senior staff editor for health at Reader’s Digest magazine, the world’s largest consumer magazine. He has worked as a journalist in the fields of health, medicine, nutrition, and fitness for 14 years.

Mindy Hermann is a registered dietitian who speaks and consults on weight loss and nutrition.

Peter Jaret is a frequent contributor to Reader’s Digest, Health, Eating Well, National Wildlife, and other magazines.

I found the gradual change to be one of the biggest benefits of this diet. No radical changes in what you eat and more importantly, no acute hunger pangs because all of a sudden you aren’t eating enough.

Each week you learn new tips and tricks which when added to the previous weeks successes, ultimately help you to develop good eating habits.

There is a lot of flexibility with the Change One diet, you will receive custom diet plans based on the amount of weight you want to lose and the foods that you like and dislike.

And you really can eat the food you enjoy, I was really skeptical about that initially, but you’ll even get recipes for these foods, amazing! There are limits to the amounts of unhealthy food you can eat though.

Dietary experts almost all agree that a diet must encourage healthy eating and the Change One Diet does that nice and gently.

If you’re looking for a diet that will help you loose weight and then keep that weight off, then I recommend the Change One Diet which scores an 8 on my scale of 1 to 10.
