For too long, healthy eating has been mistakenly linked to deprivation and lack of taste and variety. It is also the reason many people fail when they try to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
There's no reason you should deny yourself the enjoyment of a delicious meal. Eating should be a lifelong process of nourishing oneself, not a never-ending struggle.
And now the GID delivers healthy eating along with the taste you desire.
The best way to silence your stomach quickly is to give it what it wants. The best way to keep your stomach satisfied throughout the entire day is to give it what it needs. These two principles are behind the GI Diet.
Nutritionist Susan Burke says the GID is based on research that shows people who eat more high-fiber foods and fewer nutrient-dense foods lose weight more successfully. And they keep it off longer.
The GID contains foods that help you feel fuller longer than many other weight-loss plans. and contains a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
The GID is precisely that, a plan, a road map for eating the foods you love in a healthy way. One of its most important elements is diversity. Different foods provide different nutrients and minerals.
Keli R., who has shed 22 pounds with the GID, described the plan this way: "I was convinced that there was no way that I could possibly get to eat all the food that the plan suggested and still lose weight. After reading all the articles on the eDiets Web site, though, I realized that it did make sense after all!"
Check it out for yourself. Here are five super-satisfying, scrumptious examples of the types of dishes you will find on the GID:
1. Balsamic Salmon with Crisp Broccoli and Carrots and Brown Rice

2 green onions
5 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
