A Great Diet!

I was amazed at the uniqueness of The Ram Nut Diet and the power of nuts. I have always been a tremendous fan of nut products. Adding the ability to lose weight and see significant health benefits now secures my belief in The Ram Nut Diet and the powerful benefits nut products have on my life. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has tried diets and failed to reach desired results. It is a beacon in the world of so many diets -- worth investigating! Sam Yates Jensen Beach, Florida

Benefit from the many health attributes of nuts

The Ram Nut Diet offers a new approach for weight loss that incorporates nuts in the diet as a means to reduce carbohydrates, control hunger, and decrease calories. Decreasing calories is the key to all weight loss diets. Given the current obesity crisis in the U.S. and worldwide, with no end in sight, there is a pressing need for innovative approaches to weight loss. There is an urgent need to help people lose weight by restricting calories and increasing physical activity (which results in negative calorie balance and weight loss). The Ram Nut Diet takes a new approach by recommending nuts, a nutrient dense food that contain heart healthy fats, to help control energy intake by controlling dietary carbohydrates. Dr. Ram recommends a sensible approach for incorporating a wide variety of nuts in the diet - portion control is foremost in the recommendations put forth in the book. Unlike numerous diet books on the market, Dr. Ram recommends a program of physical activity in conjunction with his weight loss diet. There are many scientific studies that have shown the importance of physical activity in maintaining sustained weight loss. Other strengths of the diet program include: a balanced diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, and healthy carbohydrates; a support system (e.g. coach); and daily self-monitoring of food intake, exercise, and attitudes and life's events that affect adherence to the diet program. The 14 day meal plan and menu and recipes are an added bonus of the book. Collectively, the Ram Nut Diet recommends a healthy weight loss diet, physical activity, and behavior modification, all of which are current recommendations of many different professional organizations for healthy weight loss. A distinguishing feature of this diet program is the focus on nuts as part of a weight loss program. Nuts are a powerhouse of nutrition including unsaturated fats (both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats), plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, vitamin B-6, niacin, magnesium, copper, zinc, and potassium, all of which are important for health. Often times, weight loss diets lack essential nutrients because calories are reduced. Including a handful of nuts (about 1 oz.) helps meet nutrient needs in a calorie-restricted diet. Nuts also include a variety of bioactive compounds including ellagic acid, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and isoflavones that have been shown to have beneficial health effects. Readers who follow the Ram Nut Diet will benefit from the many health attributes of nuts. Also, by following the Ram Nut Diet, readers will be able to lose weight, and maintain lost weight with a sensible nutrition program.

Great - No Pills, Gimmicks or Points!

The book 'The Ram Nut Diet' ia a very useful and novel weight loss resource for the dieting consumer. It's an easy read and covers all the important elements of successful weight loss--proper nutrition, exercise, motivation, menus and recipes--with a twist--using nuts as a natural appetite suppressant. Dr. Ram is a rarity among diet doctors, since he actually has extensive credentials in nutrition. Highly recommended., J. LaRosa, Tampa, FL (16-year diet market consultant/analyst)
