The Park Avenue Diet, created by Dr. Stuart Fischer aims to be more than the average diet and exercise program. It seeks to address all aspects of your lifestyle, based on its 7 point plan. The whole thing is developed to suit the needs and desires of a stereotypical “Park Avenue” lifestyle – rich, thin and gorgeous. To achieve those goals, it covers a lot more than just food.
Food
Obviously you can’t really call something a diet if it doesn’t include food information. In this regard the Park Avenue Diet is like many other low carb diets. Not as extreme as the Atkins Diet (Fischer worked for Atkins for years), it recommends a limited amount of complex carbohydrates. Menus also stress healthy fruits and vegetables as well as lean proteins.
Drinking
One aspect of the Park Avenue Diet that got a lot of attention when it launched in 2008 was the allowance for some alcohol. Dr. Fischer notes that a small amount of alcohol is good for your heart, and overindulgence can be made up for with exercise.
Image Management
The area of focus that differentiates the Park Avenue Diet from othes is that image management, skincare, hairstyle, attitude, and clothing are given equal weight to diet and weight loss in the plan. The idea is that improving all aspects of your image will increase self esteem, helping you to stick to the diet and exercise regimen.
Cost
If you’re in the New York area you can visit the Park Avenue Diet Center, where you get three personal consultations covering all aspects of the program for just under $1,000. The book is only $25, you decide.
The Park Avenue Diet really does seem to be a whole life makeover plan. If you’re willing to make the commitment to the changes it recommends, we think it could work. However, we do have concerns about making such comprehensive changes without the one-on-one professional support.
