Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

It's a weight loss program based on eating a balanced diet, energization exercises, meditation, and NLP (neuro linguistic programming). It focuses on how to control your cravings and the importance of building muscle. The food choices are based on whole foods that contain high levels of beneficial phytonurients, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It's also been called the popeye diet because your supposed to try and eat some spinach every day. You should read the book, it's on the website.

Answer 2

www.magnetic-diet.com

I briefly glanced at it and it sounds reasonable...I've never heard of foods being "magnetic", though.

Answer 3

I can tell you, without knowing anything else besides looking at magnetic-diet.com that it's a scam. The website starts with the premise that low carb diets are not sustainable and that you constantly crave carbs when you're on low carb diets. This is just not true. It talks about how it's superior to low calorie diets, it's axiomatic that if you burn more calories than you take in, unless you have a medical disease, you are going to lose weight. Anyone who claims otherwise is just lying. Why would someone lie about other diets? Because telling the truth would hurt them, they know there is medical and scientific evidence that supports low carb dieting and low calorie dieting. There is no medical support for magnetic dieting, which makes me wonder how good it can be.

Try one of the low carb diet plans if you're serious about losing weight, atkins, south beach, etc. . . .Good luck.

Answer 4

Reading the material one can see that it's a very balanced diet where the premise is consistent and maintainable weight loss based on a calorie deficit achieved through a combination of diet and exercise. The author uses the metaphor of magnetism to explain that the foods you eat attract either health or disease based on the compounds and components within the food. In addition to nutrition the author also covers meditation, visualization, energization exercises (strength conditioning using isometrics), and craving control through special breathing exercises. The author makes the case that low calorie diets are problematic in that they cause most people to lose a large amount of muscle mass which then ruins their metabolism causing them to gain weight back once they have returned to their normal eating habits. He also makes the case against low carb diets by explaining that they are very hard to stay on, however he leverages low carb science in the program by advocating mostly protein meals in the evenings as well as aerobic exercise in the mornings to create the condition where the body burns fat for fuel due to glycogen depletion.
