Dr. Phil’s Ultimate Weight Solution: What the Experts Say

Experts agree that a foundation of good eating habits that can last a lifetime is the answer to losing weight and being healthy.

Dr. Phil's nutrition advice is spot on. It's very balanced, in line with national guidelines which favor an overall healthy eating style and it is a diet plan that can be sustained long term, says Lisa Dorfman, MS, RD. She is a big fan of using a cognitive behavioral approach to losing weight. “One of the best ways to change lifestyle attitudes and behaviors is to seek out healthier habits such as exercise and the support of friends, family or clergy.”

Dr. Phil’s advice for consuming high yield, satisfying foods also meets the goals of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines. “Registered dietitians and most health care organizations agree, for weight loss and better health, we need to consume more foods that are nutrient dense, high in fiber, and less processed” Dorfman says.

Dr. Phil’s Ultimate Weight Solution: Food for Thought

Dr. Phil asks people to look inward, to uncover the thoughts, attitudes, and emotional issues that keep them overweight. He asks that you unmask your personal truth about eating -- an introspective approach.

If your goal is getting into that wedding dress in six weeks, forget it. But if you want to change yourself and how you view dieting, food, and health, this is a good place to start.
