Diet Plan Review: The Bite Diet

What is the Bite Diet by Diet Directives about? Basically, a 21 day weight loss program that 'retrains' the dieter's tummy in regards to food portion control. The Bite Diet doesn't count calories, carbs, fat grams or sugar grams - just the bites that the dieter eats each day.

The Bite Diet has some very good points that may assist you in the Battle of the Bulge. Here's our nice and naughty list for the Bite Diet:

The Good:

The Bite Diet is based on the theory that the individual must retrain the stomach in regards to portion control.

The Bite Diet points out that you can lose weight on most any diet, but will regain almost all the weight within a year - something that most dieters are familiar with.

Overweight individuals don't chew their food enough (but neither do some people who have no weight problem).

Sporadic eating bombs out metabolism (but so does starving).

$29.00 for lifetime membership; that's pretty cheap and averages about a buck a day for the diet, even if you don't continue with the program.

The Bad Including Health Risks & Dangers:

The Bite Diet places the concentration for weight loss on the number of bites a person eats each day. In reality, what might be fine for a dieter trying to lose ten pounds might prove unsafe for a dieter trying to lose 210 pounds.

Sample diet plan contains far too few calories to meet even a skinny person's nutritional needs. The sample plan appears to contain under 1,000 calories.

Sample diet plan contains too few dairy products, too few fruit products and too few vegetables.

The Bite Diet takes 21 days - perhaps they should have named this The Survivor Diet. 21 days on a diet with too little calories is setting the body up for some serious, potentially life threatening health problems.

Although the Bite Diet is backed by individuals who list impressive backgrounds, as well as success stories, you should ask your doctor or nutritionist about the plan before pursuing.

Our Advice: Use the good points of the Bite Diet to help you lose weight. Learning portion control is just one aspect of achieving a healthy weight and a healthy body.
