Introducing the
Page 4 Diet:
THE SIMPLEST & MOST EFFECTIVE KETO
FAT LOSS PLAN
Feeling totally
lost and overwhelmed in the sea of conflicting info out there about keto?
Tired of counting macros,
carbs, fat, protein, and obsessing (and worrying!) about every molecule of food
you eat?
Ready to make
things SIMPLE and UNCOMPLICATED?
If so, DR. WESTMAN’S
PAGE 4 DIET IS FOR YOU.
If you’ve spent any
amount of time in the ketogenic/low carb community and you don’t know
the name Eric Westman, check your
pulse; you might be dead. Dr. Westman has been conducting clinical research on
LCHF/keto for 20 years. (Here’s just a handful of his work.) He was co-author of The New Atkins for a New You, as well as Cholesterol Clarity and Keto Clarity. (Keto Clarity is having a 5-year update/revision
soon. I know Dr. Westman and the other author, Jimmy Moore, and there were a
few things in the original version that they’d say a little differently now, so
a revision is a good thing. And Cholesterol Clarity was dynamite as
originally written. If you’re worried about “high” cholesterol on keto, get
that book and read it, STAT.) In Dr. Westman’s own words, The New Atkins for a New You is the best mainstream book ever written on
nutrition—not because he’s a co-author, but because Stephen Phinney, MD, PhD,
and Jeff Volek, PhD, RD, wrote the chapters on protein and fat. (His words, not
mine.)
Bottom line: Dr. Westman knows his stuff.
He’s a past president of the Obesity Medicine Association (which has endorsed a low carb/ketogenic diet among
their other strategies) and has a 6-month waiting list at his clinic at Duke
University, where he specializes exclusively in helping people lose weight,
reverse type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and other related issues. He’s
helped thousands of patients lose tens of thousands of pounds, and now the
way he does it is available for you.
Dr. Westman is
famous for “page 4,” which is the food list he gives his patients. In the
handout he gives patients, it’s more like pages 4, 5 and 6, but internet
shorthand for it has become “page 4.” He recently boiled it down to one page
– one side of a standard 8.5 x 11” sheet of paper. It is the simplest,
most straightforward, and most effective way to do keto—and now it’s available for YOU. 20 grams total
carbs (not net!) per day—or less. No nonsense, no gimmicks,
no confusion. It is also the strictest form of keto, but guess what?
That’s why it’s so effective. If it’s not on page 4, you don’t eat
it. There’s no guesswork, no counting, no tracking, no obsession, no
fear, and no need to let your entire life revolve around what you are and are
not eating. Work the plan and the plan will work.
If you’ve been
struggling with fat loss on keto for a while, this could be very helpful for
you. You will likely be very surprised at what’s on page 4—and maybe
even more so by what’s not on page 4. Sorry to break your hearts, but butter,
heavy cream, cheese, and mayonnaise are not unlimited. You know what you
are told to eat as much of as you like? Meat! Meat, poultry, seafood,
and eggs, so if you’ve been limiting protein and loading everything up with
added fat instead because you’ve bought into the fearmongering out there about protein “turning into sugar” or “kicking you out of ketosis,”
it might be time for a course correction. (To clarify: if whatever version of
keto you’re following is working for you and you’re happy with the results
you’re getting, keep going! “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I’m sharing
about page 4 specifically for people who are having a hard time losing body fat
– assuming, that is, that they have a substantial amount to lose, not just 5 or
so “vanity pounds.”)
If this sounds
intriguing to you, you can purchase the famous Page 4 Diet for $9.99. I know ten dollars seems like a
lot for one page of information, but you know you can always expect
honesty from me, which is why I’m being very clear that this is literally one
page (one side!) of paper. And I’m not kidding when I say it’s the
simplest and most straightforward way to do keto for fat loss. Plus, people
have spent far more on all kinds of gadgets and gizmos, books and
programs, that have failed them. Fancy-schmancy technology, trackers,
apps, and for what? To still be stymied and not understand why they’re not
losing weight. (Lack of fat loss or slow fat loss is the most common reason people contact me for help.)
Or, you can get Page 4 for a relatively small amount of money and be on your way to
keto success!
There are images
and lists claiming to be page 4 all over Pinterest and various other
places on the interwebs. Accept no imitations! If it didn’t come from Dr.
Westman or from this download site, I can’t guarantee it’s the real thing, with the version
of keto he uses in his own clinic. (I would say he created it, but he credits Dr. Robert Atkins and the head nurse at the Atkins Center, Jackie Eberstein, for most of it. Yes,
he learned about keto from the late, truly great Dr. Atkins and Jackie. [What,
you thought he discovered it all on his own? Heehee.] I’ve written in the past
and still believe that the good ol’ Atkins diet is a GREAT way to get started on keto, especially for people
totally overwhelmed by conflicting info out there.)
By the way: if
you’re wondering why page 4 is so strict—20 grams total carbs per day,
maximum, it’s because Dr. Westman has a very broad patient base. All walks of
life, all income and education levels. Some of them will not be able to
implement a plan that requires them to track every molecule of food they eat or
to prick their fingers multiple times a day. He knows not everyone needs to
live at 20g or fewer per day, but he starts everyone out that way because when
carb intake is that low, you will be in ketosis. You will be
burning fat. You will have no need to measure ketones, track your food, weigh
and measure your portions—none of that. If you stick to page 4, It. Will. Work. It is beautiful in its simplicity.
