Rosedale Diet
Some serious low-carbing, and insight into an important hormone.
BACKGROUND
Dr. Ron Rosedale, a leading metabolism expert, says that his plan turns the table on those who discount low-calorie diet plans. Dr. Rosedale says that low-calorie diets can lead to a longer life and a toned figure. The Rosedale Diet suggests a way for dieters to consume less calories and maintain a feeling of fullness.
The Rosedale Diet works by targeting the hormone leptin, responsible for telling the brain, when to start and stop eating and how much to eat. Leptin is created by the fat cells. You want to maintain low leptin levels so that your body is told that you've eaten enough. When the brain thinks you're full, it starts eating at your fat stores, and ultimately lose weight.
FOOD & RECIPE
To accomplish the weight loss and health benefits of the Rosedale Diet, simply eat lean proteins, fibrous carbs and good fat. Foods are filed under three lists - A, B and C. A foods are those that you should definitely eat. On the A-list you'll find fish, shellfish, cornish game hen, goat cheese, olives, nuts and avocados. B-list foods include fruit, beans and steak and should be consumed moderately. C-List foods should rarely be eaten. This list includes fried and processed foods, milk, hard cheese and hot dogs.
EXERCISE
Covered in The Rosedale Diet book.
EXPENSE
The cost of the book.
PRO
The benefits of the Rosedale Diet include weight loss, but have also been linked to aiding treatment for diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, heart disease and osteoporosis.
CON
Plenty of people have found success on the Rosedale Diet. But it’s not recommended for people who aren’t into low-carb dieting.
CONCLUSION
The Rosedale Diet is innovative, in that it brings the leptin hormone into the spotlight. But, Dr Rosedale has been quoted as saying “achieve excellent results even if you never pick up a weight or dust off your treadmill." There may be some truth to that, but the idea of essentially condoning not exercising is not a great idea.

Anonymous: This diet seems extremely restrictive and like it would not be enough food/calories to stay on for more than a few days at best.
