Product Features
The Hershberg Diet claims that the key to dieting is to eat foods that are high in protein, low in fat, and low in bad carbohydrates. Dr. Hershberg also says dieters must consume food rich in the fourth micronutrient, water. Hershberg claims dieters gain weight if they consume non-water based foods, such as cereal, raisins, or potato chips; conversely, dieters can lower their caloric intake while feeling full if they eat water based foods, such as fish, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products. Hershberg says her patients lost weight easily by following these guidelines.
Hershberg also utilizes a concept called “Hotty” foods. According to Hershberg, Hotty foods are types of food that contain thermogenic properties, enabling metabolic processes to develop, resulting in weight loss. Not hotty foods, foods that are cold or do not contain thermogenic properties, are disallowed from the diet, although not forbidden. She also claims it stabilizes insulin levels, a major issue for overweight people since it stimulates hunger.
Basically, the Hershberg Diet is a low fat, low carb diet that uses concepts from diabetic dieting. Many diets already emphasize eating water-based foods to stimulate weight loss, although they rarely refer to it as a special food.
Advantages
- The Hershberg Diet allows you to make your own diet plan, provided you stick to their guidelines.
- Numerous publications, including Dolce Dolce, have given their support for this diet.
Disadvantages
- Hershberg never explains how much weight loss can be expected from her diet plan.
- Although it claims to be original, it actually contains common concepts from low fat, low carb, and diabetic diets.
- Hotty foods are not proven to enhance the metabolism.
Conclusion
The Hershberg Diet is flexible, unique, and considered easy-to-follow by many dieters, but many concepts have already been used by previous diets such as The Atkins Diet and NutriSystem. The Hershberg Diet combines several dieting concepts into one diet, packages it anew, and offers more flexible alternatives for successfully utilizing these concepts. From a dieter’s standpoint, it may be an ideal if they cannot commit to a lengthy, restricted diet plan.
