The Ornish diet is a low fat diet that has over 37 years of research supporting its benefits. The main benefits of the Ornish Diet can be losing weight, preventing or reversing diabetes and heart disease, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and preventing and treating prostate or breast cancer.
Dean Ornish MD describes the spectrum diet as "An optimal diet for preventing disease is a whole-foods, plant-based diet that is naturally low in animal protein, harmful fats and refined carbohydrates. What that means in practice is little or no red meat; mostly vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and soy products in their natural forms; very few simple and refined carbohydrates such as sugar and white flour; and sufficient “good fats” such as fish oil or flax oil, seeds and nuts. A healthful diet should be low in “bad fats,” meaning trans fats, saturated fats and hydrogenated fats. Finally, we need more quality and less quantity."
Dr. Ornish’s research in the 1990s showed that his integrative lifestyle approach not only treats coronary artery disease, it can, like statin drugs, also promote regression of plaque in arteries.
