Best Life Diet - No Special Groceries Needed

A lot of people ask about what kind of foods are allowed when following the Best Life Diet. Most are incredibly surprised when they hear the answer: Most of the normal every day foods that you have been eating from your regular grocery store. It is refreshing to see a 'diet' recommend the foods that we normally eat. I put the word diet in quotes because its more a lifestyle change than a diet. Most other diets leave you craving foods and become so difficult that you end up breaking down and stuffing yourself with whatever breaks the temptation. Bob Greene tried a revolutionary idea and actually formed the regimen around our diets.

A lot of people have disagreed with his choice of foods saying some contain high fructose corn syrup which is a big no-no, and criticizing some of his other picks. Bob Greene's blatant advertising of certain products (as seen by the Best Life seal of approval) has also turned people off. But think about it this way: He recommends using olive oil. So what if Bertolli decides to sponsor his message, and in turn he recommends Bertolli olive oil. If you don't want to buy Bertolli brand, you don't have to. It is just a recommendation, and you can buy whatever brand you want. To look at it in a positive light, even though I myself don't like the product endorsements, I believe they have allowed him to bring his message to and help a larger audience.

So what products are exactly on the grocery list? What would a grocery list for The Best Life Diet look like? Well, I'll keep the manufacturers out of it, but if you are thinking of following the best life diet, you can plan on picking up these items:

Soy Milks (In all flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla)

Pastas

It is actually based on something that you can follow for life, not something that you will burn out from and not be able to continue. These "normal" everyday groceries are what makes The Best Life Diet what it is - a long lasting solution.
