Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes, or TLC, is a very solid diet plan created by the National Institutes of Health. It has no major weaknesses, and it’s particularly good at promoting cardiovascular health. One expert described it as a “very healthful, complete, safe diet.” But it requires a “do-it-yourself” approach, in contrast to the hand-holding provided by some commercial diets.
 
First things first... "DIET" should be removed from the vernacular. All it does is illicit negative connotations for people... Have you EVER come across ANYONE that is positive about going on a DIET?... DIETS DON'T WORK... don't you think it kinda weird that there are more diet companies out there at the moment than at any time in history hollering at everyone to get on the band wagon... which woman are flocking to in droves... and the population is getting fatter!!!

In the mid nineties there was a CONGRESSSIONAL hearing into the weight loss industry and all the false claims they were making about weight loss and guess what... after extensive probing into all the major weigh loss companies the hearing came up with the conclusion that 95-98% of ALL people that undertake a diet program with these companies will end up fatter than when they started within 2 years of starting that said diet. Guess what the congress made them do... INCLUDE DISCLAIMERS such as "individual results may vary" "results not typical" "when used in conjunction with exercise" etc etc

SECONDLY... what you have written is NOT a "DIET" but some meal suggestions and they all seem to be breakfast suggestions the best I can tell. A proper NUTRITIONAL PROGRAM should include the macro nutrient content of all foods and meals. The client's personal needs HAVE to be taken into account when PRESCRIBING a nutritional (which for the majority of people posting on these sites is ILLEGAL) program. Such variables as age, sex, current body composition, work load, exercise load, daily caloric expenditure, religious beliefs, allergies, intolerance's etc ALL have to be assessed when prescribing nutritional programs.

A good well though out nutritional program for an individual should include a variance in caloric content consistent with the individuals periodized exercise program and/or body composition goals. You have mentioned NOTHING about exercise and or manipulation of the daily calories, you have not added in any suggestions for replacement foods for those that cannot be tolerated. You have mentioned nothing about what the caloric content of the food is, and weather or not it is to be used in conjunction with lifestyle changes, or exercise.

I'm sorry... but there is NOTHING "best" about anything you have written. You might want to consider changing the headline to something like... "breakfast suggestions" or similar. That would not be so misleading and should you decide to use such headlines then perhaps you want to lead in with a "nutritional protocol" or a "disclaimer that your not a qualified nutritionist/dietician and that these are your PERSONAL views", and state the simple fact that "all nutritional programs should be used in conjunction with a periodized exercise program for real and lasting body composition changes". And at the very least... there should be suggestions for at least 5 mini meals for the day, not just breakfast. Your missing 80% of the program... THAT IS NEVER GOING TO WORK FOR ANYONE.

Please don't consider this a personal attack because it is not. But the fact of the matter is that it is illegal for non certified/ registered nutritionists/ dietitians to dispense this information. Not even personal trainers are supposed to do this unless qualified to do so... but the sad fact is that so many people posting this **** think they know what they are talking about, and along with the WW, Jenny Craigs, South Beach, Doctors weight loss, Slimgenics, herbal life etc of this world are in reality doing nothing but ADDING TO THE OBESITY and EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS of people because of misleading information ...
 
The word diet is supposed to mean the food and drinks consumed by a person in there normal day. So we are all on a diet based on it's genuine meaning.
Due to the blatant misuse of the word the most appropriate thing about the word diet now is it contains the word die.
I remember being more than a little appalled to find my sister had tried the Aitken's diet, something recorded to have caused 3 deaths at that time and likely to have caused far more since.
Giving generic advice, proportions of food that make up balance etc. is one thing prescribing exact foods is another altogether.

Nutrition is incredibly simple and complex in so many ways.
Our bodies haven't changed much in millions of years, we have become lactose tolerant and raw meat intolerant in many cases but not much else. As such we can confidently identify what our bodies are designed to eat and always have been, that makes it simple of course. However I have yet to walk into any store and find food that is universally what it appears to be, including the fresh produce. The joys of additives in meat enabling it to hold more water to weigh more, legal and in themselves not harmful if you know they are part of your diet.
The complexity doesn't start there however. As Kiwi pointed out genetics, activity type, body weight, health and so many other things make it complicated. And there are so many crazy things you just wouldn't consider to make it even more bizarre none of us will know all of them or try to if we value our sanity.
One that is often overlooked is the bodies recognised menu. If Kiwi and I swapped foods while ensuring the nutritional values of what we were each eating had not changed, we would both start feeling hungry. This appears stupid and back when I used to read case studies for fun I thought this was going to be one of many I thought was misrepresented, I was wrong. We teach or bodies to expect certain foods and get the nutrients it needs from these sources. Switching sources makes the body call out for the food it knew.
Much as the above will appear strange there has been genuine research done to prove it and it explains one of the most under appreciatted impacts of drastic shift diets. The very act of changing everything fast will leave you hungry and make your body crave what it knows without calorific drop. Adding this too will make you even more hungry and set you up for a very real chance of rapid failure.

There is a lot of research out there regarding diet, some of it has been fudged and mis-represented and none of us will have escaped being influenced by some dodgy data. I have read cases where previous research has been totally debunked when it was revealed they had not been honest about the way they collected data. There is a massive amount of money in the nutrition and suppliment industry and this is a sure fire reason to be very critical about any miracle diet plan, the chances are your health is not their prime concern while your money is.

Never take anyone's word for it, that includes mine. If in doubt about what we say check it out and tell us if we were wrong. It won't be the first time any of us have been.
