The reality is, if you’re good to your body,
your body will be good to you.
The reality is that extreme diets that promise instant results just don’t work. For one thing, you lose muscle and water, but little fat, and may seriously jeopardize your health in the process. For another, restricting certain foods and food groups deprives your body of essential nutrients. In the end, the faster the pounds come off, the faster they pile back on. After seeing many of his patients fail on these kinds of fad diets, and suffer health-threatening side effects, Dr. Steven A. Schnur, founder of the largest cardiology practice in South Florida, developed a new, breakthrough program. The Reality Diet is not low carb, low fat, or high protein. Instead it is rich in a wide variety of foods that are high in one key fat-fighting ingredient—fiber.

“Are you ready for reality? Have you watched in frustration as the fad diets du jour come and go? High fat, low fat, high carb, low carb, high protein, low protein. Dr. Schnur has written a diet book that will stand the test of time. Why? Because he tells the truth and delivers on his promise. You can lose weight, keep it off, and eat a wide variety of delicious meals. This is one diet book I can highly recommend.”
Dean Edell, M.D., author of Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
and host of the nationally syndicated “The Dr. Dean Edell Show”
“The Reality Diet superbly de-mystifies current popular fad diets while providing clear, easy to understand, valid facts to a public bombarded with contradicting dietary recommendations. The menus, interesting recipes, and other information provided by this book are the icing on the cake. This book was intelligently written for real people, living in the real world, seeking real advice.”
