The 100 Calorie diet pays special attention to portion and calorie control. You can keep track of what you eat and how you eat by using a food diary, 100-calorie weight charts, 100-calorie exercise and conversion charts, 100 calorie diet tips and a cookbook.  There are no forbidden foods, no pills, no food shakes, no carb or fat counting, no pre-packaged foods and no hunger.

The diet is a very effective approach to losing weight and maintaining it since the dieter is taught how to take food in portions and heightens awareness in calories in foods. Exercise is not strenuous and the diet plan is perfect for those who want to have  long term healthy eating habits. This is one of the most complete food calorie counters that I have ever been privileged to encounter. It is a listing of foods in 100 calorie increments On the 100-Calorie Diet, women are allowed 1,500 calories a day and men allowed 2,000 calories. The diet does not promote low-fat or low-carb food choices, but it does show you how low-calorie foods can be consumed in much greater amounts and more frequently than higher fat foods. “Free” foods such as low-carb vegetables and other items like soy sauce, salsa, diet soda and pickles can be consumed without limits.

The 100-Calorie Diet is an overall effective concept for losing weight and keeping it off since the guide teaches portion control and heightens your awareness of the calories in all foods. The 100 Calorie Diet does move dieters away from prepackaged foods and pills, which, most of the time, is probably a good idea. When dieters are hungry, the diet recommends eating “free foods” which are mostly raw fruits and vegetables. Having dieters increase raw veggie consumption is a great idea.
