Ornish Diet

Term	Definition
Ornish Diet	In his 2007 book The Spectrum, Dean Ornish details a guide to achieve any goal, be it weight loss or reversing chronic disease. Ornish is a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and the founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute; his method advocates responsible food choices, exercise, stress management, and seeking support from loved ones. All of this combines to have a positive impact on your health and it's certainly hard to argue with that. The most difficult part of the diet is its restriction of fat, which Ornish insists should be just 10 percent of daily calories. That's reasonable, but it may be hard to achieve if you're stepping straight over from a fast food-filled 'Western' diet. The book costs about $15.
