you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
The Reverse Diet goes a little bit "outside the box" by suggesting a reversal of meals. Having jambalaya or a chicken melt for breakfast is certainly a bit unusual by most American eating standards, but can add an exciting component to your meals.
The guidelines are pretty straightforward and are not a health hazard for most individuals. The focus on maintaining your lost weight is a positive component to this plan, as is the interactive support group available online.
If you can "eat like a king for breakfast, like a prince for lunch, and a pauper for dinner," then this may be for you
Eating a large breakfast is a mandatory part of this diet. Many people typically grab a quick breakfast or skip it altogether, habits which can obviously pose a major problem to following this this plan.
Focusing on your feelings and emotional eating habits is a must on the Reverse Diet, which encourages you to write about these things regularly. Although this is a generally positive activity, some people will have a really difficult time writing about these things on a consistent basis.
Another issue for some people may be fast food, which is not allowed on this plan. If you like to pick up fast food on your way home from work or as a quick meal for your family, you will need to find a healthier alternative in order to comply with this diet.
