Dr. Dean Ornish answered:For people who want to lose weight or for those with health problems, the benefits should be even clearer. People who follow the lifestyle program described in Eat More, Weigh Less usually find that they not only feel better, they usually are better in ways that can be measured. Weight decreases, blood pressure falls, cholesterol levels decline (by an average of almost 40 percent in the Lifestyle Heart Trial - as much as if we had used cholesterol-lowering drugs), heart disease improves, and so on.

Toby Smithson of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:The Eat More Weigh Less plan emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein foods, and fat free or low fat dairy products. The plan is low in saturated fats, trans fats and cholesterol, salt and added sugars. It is a healthy eating plan that provides a balanced diet with large portions of foods (lowering calorie, low fat, and high fiber). The meal plan will fill you up without filling you out.
