The Beyond Diet Reviews [Founder Bans Healthy Foods?!]

Experts shared their sentiments to Isabel De Los Rios' diet plan for her clients in which there's a total ban for the household fridge staples, which is quite impossible to maintain. Especially if you have a family to raise, this is difficult to sustain in the long run.

"The interesting thing to me is that she promotes a plan of 'life without dieting' but got famous by promoting 'five foods never to eat,'" a registered dietitian, Alexandra Caspero, R.D., told Women's Health.

Part of the Beyond Diet meal plan is to avoid not fermented soy, which is claimed to cause digestive distress, mineral loss in bones, and increase of toxin levels in the body.

Vandana Sheth, R.D. said otherwise. According to her, soy is beneficial to those who are lactose intolerant and at the same time, the dieters could enjoy its richness with protein, calcium, Vitamin D, and B12. 

Most diet blogs encourage the increase of wheat in the meal plan because of its fiber content and Vitamin B for healthy blood and sugar levels. However, Beyond Diet bans eating food with wheat.

This is one of the Beyond Diet meal plans famous for. Aside from the soy and wheat as one of the banned food contents to eat, the diet itself encourages super low carb in the meal preparations, which is dangerous for the body in the long run.  

According to a source, De Los Rios doesn't have proper credentials unlike the other companies with nutrition coaching background or registered dietitians, at least.

As for Beyond Diet, the founder and CEO doesn't have the same background yet she's teaching her fad diet to a large number of people.

Unlike most of the weight plan meal plans I’ve seen, Herbalife, for example, Beyond Diet has the most flexible approach to dieting. 

In fact, De Los Rios’ program wanted to help people to lose weight without feeling they’re dieting per se.

So, she encourages people to be innovative in changing the ingredients for desserts, for instance and replacing them with the low-calorie alternative. 

There are 5 programs Beyond Diet pushes to its clients, which are apt for the dieter’s personal needs. Hence, they have a lot of options to choose from apart from the main 28-day diet plan itself.

In comparison to other weight loss programs, Herbalife asks for $40 for its monthly subscription and Weight Watchers asks $17.96, Beyond Diet doesn’t cost that much. Hence, the dieters could easily subscribe to the program without compromising their daily food intake.

Most of the dieting plans rely on the person’s tenacity to follow the personalized meal plan set for a month regardless of the type of program he or she belongs. The thing is that Beyond Diet doesn’t have something special to stand out from the rest of the fads existing today.

Women’ Health reminds in one of their articles wherein they discouraged people to join any program to simply lose weight. That’s because shedding pounds is about lowering the unhealthy food intake and increasing the physical activity to compensate for the food eaten.

There’s no need to join programs with a rigid approach to dieting just to keep its promise of losing 4 to 5 pounds per week. If not, 20 lbs in one month.​

What I noticed about Isabel De Los Rios’ approach to it is avoiding the 5 top food she thought could add or slows down the weight loss process. 

Yet, the registered dietitians mentioned that it’s not good to avoid wheat, soy, and other banned foods on the list. It’s because it may be bad for some but others find them beneficial for their diet.

Nonetheless, Beyond Diet simply calls for a lifestyle change and there’s no need to spend some bucks for its program.
