What is it about?

It's a total nutrition and health program, which promotes optimum health and well-being and includes a ground-breaking weight loss strategy for those who need to lose weight.

What makes this program different to all the other diets and books that are available?

  • This program is much more than a diet. It includes the 3 components that are essential to good health, weight loss and life-long maintenance of that weight loss. It includes:
    1. Everything a person needs to know about Good Nutrition plus
    2. Information on Regular Physical Activity
    3. Advice on “Getting the Right Mind Set” which includes positive thinking and advice on how to become and stay motivated.

  • It is based on solid science, yet it is practical and easy to follow.
    I have taken the principles of The Lyon Diet Heart Study, The GISSI Trial, The Oslo Diet and Exercise Study and guidelines from The American Heart Association and adapted it to suit people living in today’s busy world.
  • It has been tried and tested with hundreds of clients/patients.
    The results with clients have been extraordinary: Many have reverted from impaired fasting glycaemia or impaired glucose tolerance (pre-diabetes) back to normal, those with diabetes have excellent control, virtually everyone lowers their LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, many have lowered their blood pressure, some have been able to cease anti-inflammatory medications, they have lost weight, have increased energy levels and very importantly, they feel so much better and happier.
  • Another major difference between this program and all the other programs is the Omega-3 Factor. A person will gain all the wonderful omega-3 benefits whether they lose weight or not.

  • It is practical and can fit in with our busy lives. It shows people how to live in today's busy world and still stay healthy. There are important sections in the program such as how to read food labels when shopping in the supermarket and how to adapt recipes to be healthier.

  • It tastes great. No matter how effective a diet or program, people will not follow it for the long term if it doesn't taste good. The foods on my plan are delicious and include recipes that the whole family will enjoy. e.g. Fish with Mango Mayonnaise, Greek-Style Barbecue Prawns, Chicken with Apricots and Prunes, Grilled Chicken with Onion Sauce, Omega-3 Eggs prepared in many ways, Baked Mediterranean Vegetables, Apple and Cinnamon Muffins, Chocolate Cake and a divine Sponge Cake with Strawberries and Lite Crème!

  • It has international appeal. It includes both metric and imperial weights and measures in the sample meal plans and recipes - and throughout the book.

  • It is one of a kind. It goes way beyond recipes – to provide nutritional analyses of every single sample meal plan. Every one of the 44 sample meal plans was carefully analysed and balanced to ensure that your health would be optimised.


How does the program work?

It has 3 phases:

1. A Gradual Weight Loss Phase called The Omega Energising Phase
(1500-1600 cal or 6300-6720 kJ):

Most people go straight onto this phase. It is a gradual weight loss diet that gets real health benefits. As it is nutritionally well-balanced and tastes great, a person can stay on this phase for the rest of their lives.

2. A Rapid Weight Loss Phase called The Omega Rapid Weight Loss Phase
(1200-1300 cal or 5040-5460 kJ):

While slow and gradual weight loss is the best way, many overweight people lose motivation if they don't see more rapid results. So, the rapid phase can be used every 3 months or so for a period of 3-4 weeks. After 4 weeks, a person has to revert to the regular plan or The Omega Energising Phase.

3. A Weight Maintenance Plan called The Omega Energising Plus Phase
(1700-1800 cal or 7140-7560 kJ):

After people reach their goal weight, they can go on to the maintenance plan. This plan can be used on weekends even while on the regular plan. This is also a highly effective plan for those who don't need to lose weight and who have pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high triglycerides or heart disease.

All this information is set out step by step in The Omega-3 Diet Revolution. The book goes through a dietitian's consultation and every chapter is like a review appointment with a dietitian where I provide very practical advice and encourage goal setting. To make it easy to follow, I have included 2 weeks of sample meal plans for each of the 3 phases.

The Omega-3 Diet Revolution will inspire you to transform your life to become healthier, happier, slimmer and smarter.


Both The Omega-3 Diet Revolution and The Omega-3 Life Program valued at $63.95 can be purchased from Omega Health Solutions for the very special price of $40.00.

Reviews

This pioneering book is the first comprehensive Australian book on omega-3 fatty acids . It explains in simple terms everything you wanted to know about omega-3 fatty acids, healthy eating and how to prevent and manage serious diseases. It also includes sample meal plans and delicious recipes with colour photographs.

The Omega-3 Life Program was one of the first nutrition books in the world to include nutritional analyses of every sample meal plan. This enables the reader to know exactly what they are eating over an entire day. Every sample meal plan was carefully balanced to ensure that it contained all nutrients for optimum health – proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.

The Omega-3 Life Program unfolds a story about the life-changing, life-saving powers of omega-3 fatty acids. No matter what your age or stage of life, no matter what disease you may already have, this book has something for you.

The Omega-3 Life Program will show you how to unleash the omega-3 magic!
