Ornish Diet

The Ornish Diet, also known as the lacto-ovo diet, is a low-fat eating style that was created in 1977 by Dr.Dean Ornish, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. The Ornish Diet emphasizes eating healthy, plant-based, whole foods and limiting animal and processed foods. This diet does not allow consumption of meat, fish or poultry, but does allow milk and eggs. The diet is one of the four key components of the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine by Sharecare program.

The Ornish Diet is best known for improving heart disease, but you can customize the plan to suit your goals, such as losing weight, lowering blood pressure, and preventing cancer. Studies show that choosing a vegetarian diet can effectively support weight loss. In a study of 76 volunteers, they lost an average of 5 pounds within a year of following the Ornish diet. Unlike some other negative diets, the Ornish Diet helps maintain smooth weight loss without stressing the user. The Diet should be easy to follow and sustainable in the long run. The foods you need are available at most grocery stores, and meals allow for a variety of dishes. The diet also requires a combination of 30 minutes of daily exercise for best results.
