Summary |
The Good Mood Diet
Half the battle of losing weight is watching what you eat. While habits eventually kick in and you no longer have to monitor every bite, the beginning of a diet plan can be agonizing. To make matter worse, many people deprive themselves of foods that give them energy, believing them to be too fattening or full of carbs to be good for their diet. This is where “The Good Mood Diet” steps in, its authors claiming that you should be eating “feel good” foods as you diet to keep you both healthy and happy. Susan M. Kleiner and Bob Condor are both credited professionals in their fields—Kleiner is a Nutrition Consultant for Seattle’s Seahawks and Sonics while Condor is an accomplished wellness columnist. Yet credentials do not always add up to a successful diet program. We will take a thorough look at “The Good Mood Diet” to see what it has to offer. |
| Program At A Glance |
|
The principle behind this diet is proper food combinations. By combining foods with appropriate levels of fat, protein, and carbohydrates you can lose weight without compromising the balance of your brain chemistry. Most diets encourage dieters to eat foods that trigger the blues, causing them to revert very quickly to bad eating habits. Kleiner and Condor recommend that after a few weeks of “The Good Mood Diet” you can have chocolate or red wine on a regular basis as well as desserts. By staying full with healthy food, the authors believe dieters can stick to this plan for a lifetime. The book provides weekly meal plans as well as lists of food that are either “feel good” or “feel bad”—refined sugar makes you feel worse whereas fish, eggs, and flax make you feel better.

| Conclusion |
|
“The Good Mood Diet” is at least a good example of a book that is carefully crafted to offer dieters a healthy look at eating. While Kleiner and Condor’s perspective may not be officially proven, there is certainly a link between the foods we eat and our moods—be careful no to buy into a diet that makes you miserable with denying yourself or you will most likely end up returning to bad eating habits. Even if “The Good Mood Diet” is not for you, be sure you find a solid nutrition plan formulated by a nutritionist, or consider seeing a dietician who can help you set up an eating program. Dieting and regular exercise are the foundations of a healthy weight loss plan. Adding a fat burning, appetite suppressing formula to your weight loss routine can enhance your results, just be sure you do not depend solely on a supplement.
