The Doctor on Demand Diet

A companion to the highly popular Doctor On Demand telemedicine app, The Doctor On Demand Diet provides a customized eating, exercise, and behavioral plan that optimizes your chances of success without forcing you to eliminate any major food groups. The Doctor On Demand Diet begins with the 10-day CleanStart phase, designed to control hunger without compromising nutrition by focusing on higher-protein foods and reducing fat and carbs--especially sugar, dry carbs, and bread. Next, the 10-day Customize Your Carbs phase personalizes your eating plan to match your own individual metabolic profile. Then, the Cycle for Success phase creates a more flexible plan that provides continued weight loss while preventing frustrating weight-loss plateaus. Along the way, practical advice, real-life patient stories, and targeted findings from the latest scientific studies show how basic lifestyle changes can boost your health while you slim down. A simple exercise quiz pinpoints your exercise "personality" and gives customized, practical, and fun exercise suggestions. Mental health self-checks help you gauge whether emotional roadblocks stand between you and your goals, and delicious chef-designed recipes and meal templates make it a snap to prepare healthy, tasty meals. With a program that fits perfectly into your life, The Doctor On Demand Diet provides a clear, customizable roadmap that can help you lose weight and keep it off for good.
