Do any people have experience with this? http://www.harleypasternak.com/index.php/body-reset-diet/
Is it a good way to kickstart healthy eating? I was skeptical by the title as it sounds like a fad diet. But I've read some good things about it. As I've researched it, it does sound like a good way to start healthy eating/living.
People who have done it, what are the pros and cons?

Ugh everyone wants to "kick start" their 'healthy eating' or something. You either do it, or you don't. It's as simple as that.

Hilarious but utter nonsenseThe Body Reset Diet is so simple yet so effective that you’ll immediately lose weight no matter how many times you’ve failed in the past. And you won’t boomerang back either. You’ll transition smoothly into a sustainable, nutrient-rich meal plan that keeps your metabolism primed to burn fat all day long—without ever setting foot in a gym!4 -
It is not necessary to do that kind of diet, but it might be helpful if you want some structure / guidelines.
Good luck with it if you choose to go that way.4 -
Pointless.

I don't know anything about the diet, but I would like to suggest that maybe a 'kickstart' is the least effective approach. Perhaps slowly changing your diet would be a better way to get lasting results and form habits that will stick?9
-
If you really can't change your diet completely right away, try replacing one meal at a time with a healthy meal. That works as well.4

Nope. He's just selling stuff.
If you want to have a healthy lifestyle and eat well, just do it. There is no trick, no way to kick start it. You just have to do it and keep doing it, even if you slip a bit. Some people find it easier to make changes gradually and work on new habits- cut out alcohol and soda one week, add more vegies another week, etc.8 -

No need to kick start anything. Eat less (number one) and move more (number two), and make sure you eat at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight.4 -
No need to overcomplicate things. The only kick start you need is getting used to tracking your food. MFP does that for free. Figure out your calorie target, track what you eat, adjust accordingly1

There is no need to kick start or jumpstart a diet. Your body isn't a car

If you see any of the following words to describe a "diet" plan, you can safely consider the plan bunk.
Kickstart
Detox
Reset
Cleanse
Clean
Rev your metabolism

Thanks for the constructive feedback/suggestions. I'm trying to take everything in and figure everything out.
I know I don't make the best choices when it comes to food, and for health reasons I need to start being more careful (blood pressure creeping up and my doctor's recommendation is to lose 20 lbs).
I find that short term success with some things helps me get inspired to keep going. Since the body reset diet is only a short term thing, I thought maybe that would help my motivation by seeing some success. But there has been good feedback on what I should be doing for true long term success.3 -
The feed back is short term and long term. You really do have to look at them as one thing. I won't say in the beginning I didn't need the help of the occasional slim fast shake to compensate for when I failed to pack a lunch but signing up for any diet plan is going to make long term success harder even if it gives short term results. Use your time and money to plan out a low calorie diet that you can live with. Buy a few low cal nutrient rich supplement shakes as emergency back up for when you don't feel like cooking. Its time to screw your courage to the sticking place and drop the crutches. You have a little one on the way. If there was ever a time to learn to plan ahead today is definitely that day.3

You can focus on short term without those faddy plans: Eat well today. Get some exercise today. Feel good. Repeat tomorrow. Feel good tomorrow.
And so on

I'm going to throw in a slightly different point of view myself - I actually found the BRD smoothie recipes to be tastier than the usual variety, and more filling. From a "kickstart" perspective, especially as a single working mom, I just need one more thing off my plate when it comes to figuring out what to eat each week. This is dead easy to shop and plan for and yes, I lost 10 lbs (of probably water weight) in that first short time period. Long term, you still have to change patterns and reprogram your mind to think differently about food/fuel. But, I personally found the book/s helpful and worthwhile. Each to his own!
Will also note that I agree it's not a long term strategy. I only see it as a good "kickstart" to take one thing off your mind as you figure things out.

This “diet” contains the entire dance card of misinformation and BS that is part of every gimmicky diet scam ever designed.
Rather than being a “quick start”, rubbish like this just delays people from starting to implement actual positive lifestyle changes.

I actually listened to the guy. Well, what has he done. Encouraging walking with some high intensity training. Encouraging higher protein and fiber intake with a lower energy density. All good things. Where I take issues. Blood sugar regulation causing hunger. Drinking large amounts of "smoothies". Telling people they have to eat 5 times a day. So, good recipes. Good exercise advice. Not totally bad food advice. Though the smoothie thing might help some people with meal replacement. So... 3 of 5 stars. Not a complete hack, but does cause a few woo's.🤷♂️6

@psychod787 If I didn't know you spend your free time reading original publications I would poke a hole in my monitor from the head banging generated by your YouTube addiction!!!
Heck man, you probably respond to every phishing email about YouTube subscriptions due to having so many subscriptions that you lose track!!!
Here's a new year's resolution: if they didn't write it out; it ain't worth watching!!!!
