When we talk about a quick weight loss diet versus a lifestyle diet, we sometimes forget that some diets are both. The BCM diet and nutrition program will have you dropping pounds quickly, but along the way will teach you the tools you need to keep weight off long term. The best way to follow the BCM diet is to use the BCM products in addition to drinking lots of water and exercising regularly.
With the BCM diet you’ll have three well-balanced meals a day, each one including the right amount of carbs, protein, and fat. There’s no snacking—sorry!
The BCM diet takes you through four phases. The first is reduction (6-8 weeks). Instead of two of your regular balanced meals, you’ll substitute two BCM meals instead. The BCM weight loss supplements that you’ll use will help you metabolize and burn fat more efficiently.
Phase 2 (6-8 weeks) is all about integration. During this phase you’ll eat two of your own healthy meals and only one BCM meal replacement each day. BCM formulas come in flavors like banana, cappuccino, chocolate, vanilla, and others.
Phase 3: Adoption. Here you’re back on your own preparing and eating all three of your own meals. You’ll be on phase 3 for about 10 weeks before deciding if you need to head back to phase 1 or 2 for some maintenance work, or just carry on eating and exercising according to your new healthy lifestyle.
The last phase is an ongoing consultation phase. For the next few years you’ll see a doctor or nutritionist who will help monitor your weight loss accomplishments.
The most important thing about BCM—and really this applies to any diet—is a shift in attitude. Once you accept that a healthy lifestyle will lead to a healthy body, then you’ll be more encouraged to pursue that healthy lifestyle.
The BCM diet and all of its products are sold by doctors and nutritionists who recognize that sometimes all people need are a little jumpstart before embarking on a diet that will change their lives.
