The Pocket Diet Review

What You Should Know

Nearly every dieter is not getting enough whole grains in their diet. These whole grains can improve heart health and decrease hunger with their high fiber content. The Pocket Diet is a diet based on pita pockets. The use of these pockets will increase the whole grains in the diet and may help the dieter to retain satisfaction between meals. But, how can a focused diet like this work over the longer term?

There is an official website for the Pocket Diet. The website offers direct ordering of the Pocket Diet book, information on the plan, recipes and advice on the best pita pockets to choose for use in the diet.

List of Ingredients

Recipes using pita pockets and a diet plan for weight loss without calorie counting.

Product Features

The guidelines of the Pocket Diet are simple. Eat three meals every day using the pita pocket to measure your food portions, add exercise to your life and include two snacks a day to your diet.

Portion control can be the hardest thing for a dieter to grasp. The meat portion should be the size of a deck of cards while the vegetable portion can be much larger. Eventually the dieter can be confused by the different ways to measure foods and off the wagon the dieter falls. The Pocket Diet uses the inside of the pita pocket as a measuring tool. The dieter does not have to count calories, count carbohydrates or count fat grams as long as the foods fit into the pita pocket.

There is a problem with this theory. The pita pocket may be small, but there are foods that will drive the calorie count thorough the roof and according to the official website the dieter can eat anything they want as long as it fits into the pocket. Every ounce of cheese contains about 100 calories. The dieter could fit quite a few ounces of cheese into a pita pocket.

The Pocket Diet instructions do advise the dieter to use 2 to 3 ounces of food in each pocket (whole pocket not per half). This is a great tool, but the Pocket Diet is supposed to stop measuring and if the dieter is only supposed to use 2 to 3 ounces of food, does that not assume they will measure the food?

Advantages

  • The Pocket Diet offers online information.
  • There is no calorie counting with the plan.
  • Testimonials support the use of the pita pocket for weight loss.

Disadvantages

  • Stuffing a pita with foods can increase calorie intake instead of decreasing calorie intake.
  • The dieter may have to measure foods in order to stay on track.
  • There are no food guidelines which can lead to overeating if lots of carbohydrates are consumed.

Conclusion

We wanted to like the Pocket Diet. Any diet that takes away to tedious calorie, fat and carb counting is a great choice in our book. But, there is not enough structure to this diet for people who are tempted easily. Stuffing a pita can mean two different things to two different dieters and where once may choose lean meats and healthy vegetables, others may choose fatty foods and whole fat mayonnaise.

In order to lose weight, the Pocket Diet is right, portion control is needed. We support the use of appetite suppressants to control food intake for weight loss.

Top Choice for 2010: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
