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.
PRO
- Weight loss
- Has been linked to aiding treatment for diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, heart disease and osteoporosis
CON
- Low-carb diet
DIET and NUTRITION
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
Some guidance is provided.
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.

I think this way of eating will change my life for the better. I'm not hungry all the time and that is such a relief. I wondered why I was constantly hungry, even after I ate! Giving up sugar has been one of the best things I could do. Finally, the sweet tooth tamed!
Excellent results except one problem. I have lost all mass around my neck and shoulder and my bones are showing up and gives unhealthy appearance. Any Help?

I have been taking this diet for the past 4 months and the result is very good. But my problem is i am losing weight in such a manner I look very unhealthy and lean. The neck has become so lean and the bones are showing up. Is there any way I can build up lean mass around my neck?
I feel sick all the time.This diet gives me wicked headaches ,stomach problems ,and now I am getting a yeast infection.I haven't had one of those in 25 years.I am only on my tenth day.Will this get any better?
The Rosedale diet is the only weight loss
plan I have ever followed and lost inches and pounds and had more energy.
I think the book is well written and I like
the recipes. The meal plan suggestions
are very helpful.
I had trouble losing weight for over 30 years. I was introduced to MaxWLX (see) which Dr. Rosedale endorses. He and Max International came up with the Weightloss Accelerator System which I highly recommend. It also comes with a DVD with Dr. Rosedale, and his new book called Leptin Connection. It was only then that I understood how important the Leptin Hormone was and how it affected our body. Plus reading his two books really helped me. I have lost 33 pounds in 4 months and still going... and my husband has lost 32 pounds! We have lost our belly and have lost inches.
I also spoke to him at a convention in Salt Lake City, and he really opened our eyes, and hearing him was better than reading. If you are interested in hearing him via a CD or maybe I could download the recording, just, email me, and I would be glad to share it with you. It is awesome! He has changed my life!
Nina... you can order Manna from Heaven and have it shipped... we live in PA and it gets there in good shape without the express mail option.
I weighed 250 pounds and have lost 15 pounds the first week! My friend who was over 300 dropped 100 pounds on this diet and I think that if a person uses variety in their food selection, the diet will never get boring and will ultimately achieve the intended result.
I really like this diet program. I'm all for low carbs but I live in Canada and I can't get "Manna from Heaven" bread. Any suggestions on a replacement for this bread.
Looks like the Rosedale Diet could be a simple approach, without completely eliminating anything
I've read good things about this diet...
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.
