Tana Amen is married to Dr. Daniel Amen, who wrote “TheAmen Solution” describing a diet approach that matches your emotional makeup to
the proper diet. Tana believes that healthy eating is simpler than that. One
diet (hers) is right for everyone. She promises that the Omni Diet will change
our lives forever.
The subtitle of her book lays out her approach: 70%
plant-based and 30% protein on the plate. That eliminates dairy, simple sugars, processed
foods and most grains. The book details
three 14-day phases and a life-long maintenance phase that purports to extend
your lifespan. Happily, Amen supplies plenty of recipes and menu plans.
Much of Tana Amen’s approach is to replace (or
substantially reduce) the use of pharmaceuticals. She believes that modern life
is too focused on taking a pill for everything, and that those nasty
side-effects that come at the end of every medication advertisement are real,
and far more common that we think.
Amen describes her Omni Diet as “eating like a gorilla”
because of the focus on veggies and vegetable juices. Meat is allowed, although
Amen recommends seeking out strictly grass-fed meats. That takes a bit more time and money to
procure, but she says that it’s worth it.
