Beyond Diet: Achieve your Ideal Body Weight and Prevent Disease
Beyond Diet is an online weight loss plan designed to help you achieve your ideal body weight and prevent disease.
It was created by Isabel De Los Rios, a certified nutritionist, exercise specialist and owner of New Body – Center for Fitness and Nutrition in New Jersey.
Says De Los Rios, “My program is about establishing an overall improvement in the food people consume and the physical lifestyles they lead. It is not about following a specific diet for a short amount of time just to drop a few pounds.”
Beyond Diet Basics
When you join the Beyond Diet program the first step is to determine your metabolic type by answering a series of questions. You will be provided with a list of foods that are the best for your metabolism. Following the right diet for your type will help you lose weight more effectively and achieve optimal wellbeing.
Next you will use an online calorie calculator to help you determine the foods you should be eating each day. In the Beyond Diet program you don’t actually have to count calories but rather monitor the amount of servings for each meal. You will also see what percentage of protein, carbohydrates and fat are recommended for your metabolic type.
Each day you should consume breakfast, lunch and dinner with appropriate snacks in between. It is important to never allow yourself to become ravenously hungry because this has the potential to lead to cravings and overeating. It is also recommended to drink half of your weight in water in ounces daily.
Dieters are advised to avoid prepackaged, processed foods and instead to eat the most natural products possible with organic foods being preferred. However, it is not necessary to completely change your diet overnight.
You can gradually get rid of one or two of the worst empty calorie foods and replace them with healthy substitutes. By making small changes you won’t feel overwhelmed which increases the chance of you making a long-term adjustment to a healthy lifestyle.

Willing to investigate this program further but am somewhat skeptical
My 9 hour work day does not allow any time for breaks to snack only 30min. for lunch. My time in the evenings for food preparation is very limited because I care for my 93 yr. old Father during that time. Yet your program seems to make sense. How can I best impliment it?
Paul, there are many members that don’t have much time to prepare meals. You can get all kinds of tips from people on the Beyond Diet community website. One of the things I do to save time is make a big pot of chili or soup, or something else along those lines, on the weekend when I have more time for food preparation. Then I have healthy leftovers throughout the week!
Half your weight in water? That doesn’t sound right. Also it doesn’t matter the exact timing of snacks or anything as long as your body is getting adequate caloric intake (meaning not going over you allotted intake) you should be fine, I don’t know why these diets have such slogans such as “don’t count calories” making it seem like its an easy simple diet to follow and yet behind the slogan are a rigid set of rules and regulations you MUST follow or else everything goes out the window. So bizarre. If I’m not hungry for the snack at exactly 3:30 does that mean my weight loss efforts have gone through the window? Instead of looking to “nutritionists” to guide us in the right direction, perhaps we should look to educating ourselves about the foods we put into our bodies. Our ancestors didn’t have diets and nutritionists and they certainly weren’t obese. And they only eat one meal a day, how about that! Our bodies aren’t are delicate as we’d like to think, being a little hungry isn’t going to set you up for fat gain, eating garbage food and not moving will certainly does this though. Lets try to just relax, eat whole foods and listen to your body, if you just can’t drink one more ounce of water, its probably your body telling you you’ve had enough.
Is the program a one time fee of 47.00? Is there a book that I can buy?
very helpful, congrats.
I watched the website video and am very impressed but am feeling a little unsure about spending the money. Would like to see the newsletter before I decide.
I already eat the type of food you are talking about. No junk chemical layden food for me… Been doing this for three years now. Have not tried the raw things. Currious about that and needs to be researched. Looking for new foods to try.
I know the membershio is free, but what are the monthly fees
@Sue, Beyond Diet may seem complicated at first, but after just a couple weeks of following it, I think it becomes second nature – as long as you’re eating the right types of food in appropriate portions, you’ll see success.
@Shelley and Christine, the program costs $47 and includes a lifetime membership to the website.
still not convinced that I will not pay a cent beyond the $50.
are there other hidden fees after that?
Sue, it is half your weight in ounces, not pounds.
Just started on the diet and I love it because its not really a diet, its a lifestyle change. i have to admit I don’t eat that much garbage anyways, so I joined more for the receipes then anything else. But I found her info very informative and she is a nutrionalist, so I like that I feel like I’m getting advice from someone concerned for my overall lifetime HEALTH
they don’t really describe the “tools” just mention online community & recipe stuff and then the “tools”. can someone using this provide a general description of the tools/types of tools provided?
I am post menopause (57 years old) and I want to know if this program will work for me. This weight came and no matter what I do it lingers and lingers. Is there someone who is post menopause that this program has worked for?
Don’t do this program. She claims to break it down and doesn’t.
I get emails saying these are three great veggies for women to eat to lose weight – then you sit through a 10 minutes online commercial that then asks for $20 to tell you the three items.
This is a rip off.
This diet is not healthy if you care about cancer or heart disease prevention. Watch the movie “Forks Over Knives” to see the largest nutritional study ever done in the world. Bottom line: no animal, dairy, or oils are good for you! Isabel’s program is good for weight loss, but will not guarantee long-term health for your heart and circulatory system. Animal, dairy and oil damage critical circulatory endothelial cells… leading to heart disease at some level in everyone who eats this stuff. Eliminate all animal, dairy and oils from her program and it is spot on for long-term health and disease prevention.
I did the Billy Banks Bootcamp Diet & Workout about five years ago and lost 50 lbs. and kept it off by just eating healthy and working out until our family went through a very stressful time & I started snacking (STRESS snacks) all the time and have put about 35 lbs. back on. I have tried the Billy Banks several times and with no success. I can not figure out why it won’t work now other than I am over 40 now and everyone keeps telling me my metabolism has slowed down. How do I know this diet will work for me? I have been so down and I want to get this weight off so bad. I have so my health concerns on both sides of my family and I know the extra weight is not good for me. Before I lost the weight I was on blood pressure medicines and was taken off all of those and I do not want to have to go back on them.
