SubscribeDenise Austin - Part 2 - The Diet
Denise Austin's Fit Forever program allows 3 different diet plans, 1400 calories per day, 1600, and 1800 calories. You can change your daily calorie setting at any time, and Denise points out that these are guidelines.
The diet plans were developed by nutritionist Rachel Rodney (RD, LD, CFT). There isn't any mention of nutrient ratios, you're given a diet plan that looks to be low-fat, moderate protein, and moderate carbohydrate - in fact it looks to be about 50% carbs, 25% fats, 25% protein - an excellent balance for anyone undertaking exercise and resistance training.

Someone To Talk To
The discussion boards are quite active, and the nutritionist is also around to answer questions - in fact Rachel (nutritionist) seems very helpful. There is some complaint about the meal plans cycling around, and people getting bored with the same foods. This doesn't bother me, as I tend to stick to the same foods as it is.Reading through many of the posts on the message boards - it seems that the Denise Austin program is working well for most people. It's a good balanced calorie-controlled diet, coupled with daily exercise - which would work for most of us.
I feel a little at odds with the program - because I am a man! It seems to be 100% women on all the dicussion boards, and while the principles apply to everyone, it's obviously aimed at women.
