Beauty Diet Review
What You Should Know
There is an old cliche that states, ìYou are what you eat!î. This cliche is the heart of the Beauty Diet. The writers of Self magazine claim that healthy hair, healthy skin and a brighter smile can all be created with the right food choices. There are even calorie guidelines and a sample menu on the Self.com website.
The information provided about the Beauty Diet is listed on the official Self Magazine website. This website contains contact information for the magazine as well as subscription information.
List of Ingredients
Foods to help brighten the face, skin, hair and smile.
Product Features
There is no mention in the Beauty Diet information about weight loss. On the contrary, the foods listed are included not for their metabolism boosting qualities or their ability to make the dieter feel fuller, longer ñ they are included for their ability to increase beauty. The food groups listed are Fish, Colored Foods and Dairy.
The sample menu includes one dayís worth of meals at 1,650 calories. This calorie total is higher than most diets which support eating 1,200 calories for weight loss. There is also no mention of exercise to improve the skin or beauty of the body which is a bit disturbing. Recent studies have linked overall body health with regular exercise and Self Magazine should have picked up on the effect of exercise on outer beauty.
The foods included in the sample menu include nonfat yogurt, cantaloupe, green tea and grilled lean meats. We love the fact that green tea is included, but notice it is only advised as once cup during one meal. Green tea is a proven metabolism booster and with the right amounts, the Beauty Diet could help the follower improve beauty and lose a few pounds in the process.
Advantages
- Self.com is a trusted website.
- The foods listed are healthy foods.
- Green tea is included in the plan.
Disadvantages
- There is no mention of weight loss or use of supplements.
- The calorie total of 1,650 is too much for weight loss.
- The green tea should be included with every meal and snack.
Conclusion
We love great information, but the word diet should not be used in conjunction with beauty alone. The diet portion of the Beauty Diet is more of a menu for improving physical features than a diet at all. The calorie total could be shaved off to 1,200 but the dieter would need to work hard to preserve the balanced nature of the diet. We cannot support using this diet for weight loss as the calorie totals are too high and there is not an appetite suppressant to help the dieter lose more weight but feeling less hungry.
