The Answer is a Bodywise diet system that does not teach you how to diet, it teaches you how to eat. There is a big difference. By learning how to eat, how to feed your body, you'll lose unwanted body fat, improve your health, and lift you energy. You'll be able to enjoy food which is very important to long term success. There have been thousands of diet plans published, each offers the way to win the war against food and allow you to lose weight. Nine out of ten people who follow these diet plans fail.
The reality that these diet plans don't work is a well established fact. It's obvious dieting is not the answer. I believe that there are still many people who haven't woken up to this fact yet.
The Answer is working with our natural evolutionary instinct, rather than against it.
The Answer is learning to satisfy cravings in a way that nourishes our body and mind; in a way that feeds muscle, starves fat, fortifies health and fuels energy.
The Answer is not a diet, it is a change of your current patterns of action which creates new habits.
Simply put, The Answer is your lifetime solution to the dieting dilemma health crisis Americans face today.
In this program we work together to create your diet. Together we chose the foods you will eat for the week, the times when you will eat, the ratios of protein, carbohydrates, and fat to calories. In this program you will learn how to manage your diet during vacations, parties, holidays, etc. You learn how to work around any adversities in life and stay on track.

The Answer is an eating plan that will:
- Create new patterns of action, new habits that will last a lifetime.
- Boost metabolism

- Teach you to feed your body, not starve it. This is what works in the long run.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test
This test is performed during your first appointment to determine the number of calories your body burns in a 24 hour period. Your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your high and low caloric zones. This information is key to prescribing a balanced diet with the maximum number of calories you can eat and still lose weight. In this zone your body will be in a positive state, not a negative one. In this zone your body will be healthy, strong and satisfied. You will be able to enjoy food an work with your natural evolutionary instinct and not against it.
Ed adds another level of accountability and awareness by asking his clients to keep a food journal and to bring this in once a week in addition to their body fat measurements. weight and circumference measurements. This part of the fitness program is critical and allows dialogue that supports results and change. Over the course of the program there continues to be many conversations which include eating out, ordering in, cooking, grocery shopping, and nutritional supplements.
Timing
Timing is an extremely important part of The Answer diet system. This timing is based on proven fundamental scientific truths. There have been numerous studies in the past that prove that those who didn't eat or snack for three hours or longer had the highest body fat percentages - even if they weren't consuming more calories than they were burning. Furthermore, the longer gap of time between eating times, the higher the body fat, especially if they exercised during those non-eating periods. Even more surprising, the same studies show that those who ate less than their energy needs (usually the recipe for weight loss), weren't losing weight. The reason is that when deprived of food, even for just a few hours, the body desperately clings to any calorie it gets.
There is no skipping meals in The Answer diet system. We must put your body in the zone for you to work with your natural evolutionary instinct, not against it.
