The Four Corners Diet

The Four Corners Diet was developed by Dr. Jack Goldberg and Dr. Karen O'Mara in 1996 after they did substantial research in weight loss and popular diet methods. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Function

The Four Corners Diet was developed by two doctors to help dieters lose weight based on the most proven elements and best data resources from scientific literature that they had researched. The diet, according to their book, consists mainly of low-carbohydrate foods with normal protein, also suggests eating foods low in saturated fat, high in fiber and plenty of vegetables and some dairy, according to the Low-Carb website.

Foods

Greek-style yogurt is a popular food choice for the four corners diet because it is low in carbohydrates yet still high in protein and, of course, contains dairy. Kefir, a drinkable yogurt with probiotics, and berries are also on the list of foods to eat on the four corner diet. While these things are ideal for breakfast, raw nuts and seeds are suggested by another book, The Protein Power Lifeplan, as a snack because of their high-monounsaturated fat content.

Considerations

Prior to beginning the Four Corners Diet, you should check with your doctor to make sure that this (or any type) of diet will work for you. Also, diet combined with exercise has been found to be the most effective way of losing weight.
