In this article we review one of the best current diet plans today: the popular Diet Solution Program (DSP).  DSP is glowingly referred to as:  “one of the most comprehensive books I’ve ever read and the closest thing to a nutrition bible which I’ve encountered,” by weight loss expert John Davenport.  We also discuss differences with and similarities to other similar diet plans.  Due to the current obesity epidemic, these plans are becoming increasingly popular and many people are showing interest.  What is the likelihood of success with DSP?

Isabel De Los Rios is creator of the Diet Solution Program. She has an academic degree in Exercise Physiology. Isabel is a well-known speaker on issues of nutrition and health.  Her writing has been featured in numerous publications, and she manages her own health and wellness clinic in New Jersey.

As a weight loss coach, and having experienced huge success, we’re regularly asked our opinion about other popular diets for contrast.  For instance, I’ve lost 35 pounds using a similar diet plan and both identify with and am glad about the science behind this tactic.

Of these, we are most familiar with the Healthy for Life Program, pioneered by Dr. Ray Strand.  Healthy for Life has been “field tested,” with documented outcomes, under the rules of the Western Review Board of the FDA. Healthy for Life understands that no two carbohydrates are the same.  Actual test results are used to establish the GI “score” of foods on a 0 to 100 scale, so that precise meal selections may be advised.  Due to proven scientific results, Healthy for Life may be viewed as a benchmark.

DSP similarly recognizes the fact that foods that abruptly “metabolize” into sugar are to be avoided. They are aware of the glycemic stress following an unhealthy meal that forces blood insulin levels to sky rocket. The DSP methodology is nearly identical to Healthy for Life, including recommendations of certain foods to stay away from vs. prefer.

In addition, the advice in Jorge Cruise’s “Belly Fat Cure” is also similar to DSP. The Belly Fat Cure, especially, teaches that the kind of calories are much more important that the amount eaten.

DSP incorporates comparable guidance for healthy vs. unhealthy fats and advice on the processed foodstuffs to stay away from for best results. And, DSP uses the same calorie counting advice, often heard in most similar diet plans, which is: “You don’t need to count calories.”

All in all, the Diet Solution Program has a similar strategy to what we’ve found in quite a lot of other plans, based on the glycemic index.  They seem to have recognized the benefits for their methodology, based on experience vs. science.  This is of little import since outcomes are what matter.  Finally, DSP goes beyond common index diet plans, by using metabolic typing to provide individualized recommendations.  This makes DSP different from otherwise similar diet plans, because of the fact that it features an personalized methodology.
