Vegetarians rejoice! Continuing with the trend of specialized meal plans, the Bon Appétit Diet with Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen recently launched the Vegetarian meal plans for the Philippine market.

The meal plans were inspired by Dr. Cohen’s latest book, The Parisian Diet, which made it possible for octo-lavo-vegetarians to enjoy healthy, balanced food with a Parisian twist! Clients can now choose between the 900, 1200, and 1400 kcal variations and enjoy refreshing salads, filling entrées, and sinfully tasting desserts.

Vegetarians in the Philippines have been steadily increasing in number throughout the years, following the trend in western countries. Many assume that going vegetarian will automatically help them lose weight and become healthier. However, lots of vegetarian grocery items and dishes still pack a lot of calories, fat, sugar, and salt. Not only that, but not all recipes are nutritionally balanced, resulting in unhealthy weight loss.

With the Bon Appétit Diet, clients can be assured they have access to well balanced, nutritious, and exciting meals that will help them lose weight and keep it off for life! Best of all, they have access to a team of registered dietitians who have all trained under Dr. Cohen’s program.

Feeling good usually equals to looking good, hence the natural partnership of popular beauty samplers BDJ Box (sister company of Belle Du Jour Power Planners) and premiere online weight-loss coaching publisher BelleToday.com.ph.

Beauty sample boxes are the latest rage for many beauty and wellness enthusiasts. Subscribers can look forward to a surprise every month; goodies range from the latest makeup products to popular wellness programs. 

The sold-out April 2013 box featured many exclusive products to its subscribers, including a special offer from the Bon Appétit Diet with Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen. Various “un-boxing” blogs, tweets, and status updates came fast on the heels of the BDJ Box delivery. As the warmer months descend, many clients were excited to try out the latest weight-loss coaching program from France’s foremost nutrition expert Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen.

This was the just the latest move from the BelleToday.com.ph team as they continue to experiment with like-minded local brands and partners.

Last March 18, 2013, Aujourdhui.com’s La Méthode Montignac launched its Vegetarian Diet Profile. This comes in the heels of the Pork-Free and Soy-Free meal plans launched last October 2012.

The Vegetarian diet profile maintains the key weight-loss concepts established by Michel Montignac, while offering meal plans that utilizes fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins. The new program caters to the prevailing types of vegetarianism, namely pescatarians (those who omit all meat except for fish) and octo-lavo vegetarians (those who omit all meat except eggs and dairy products). Clients want to further adjust their meal plans to completely omit any animal protein or byproduct can turn to the program’s team of trusted dietitians that can help assist them in their needs.

This diet profile, like other profiles already in the program, will complement the coaching and diet preferences of the client upon registering.

Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen and The Parisian Diet were the focus of two popular American shows: Nightline and Good Morning America.

Famed television journalist Juju Chang followed Dr. Cohen around New York City and discussed his new weight loss program on both shows, showing how Parisians stay slim and fit through equal parts good eating habits and joie de vivre!

"‘Parisian Diet’: Just Savor Food, Author Says"

"Dieters Enjoy Favorite Foods, Still Lose Weight"

The 5 simple rules highlighted in both episodes showed how time-honored Parisian traditions can let Americans have their cake and eat it too—or in this case—a Big Mac from McDonald’s.

Also in the programs was Rachel Yohai, an American woman who had been following The Parisian Diet for 5 weeks and had already lost 11 lbs. Her story was a testament how pleasure-- enjoying one’s food-- is key to losing weight, keeping it off, and enjoying the process!

On February 18, 2013, Aujroudhui.com launched version 2.5 of the Chrono-Geno-Nutrition. It was optimized to be more user-friendly in order to help clients reach their weight loss goals more easily.

In this new version, the Chrono-Nutrition and the Geno-Nutrition parts of the program are arranged in succession, different from the previous version where both were integrated for the duration of the entire program.

In the first four weeks, the program will focus on the Chrono-Nutrition diet, which is based on the physiological rhythm of the body. This phase is about eating the right food at the right time in order to aid digestion. At the end of the 4 weeks, clients will be asked questions about their weight loss to determine their compatibility and preference.

Clients will have the option to either stay in Chrono-Nutrition or move on to the Geno-Nutrition diet, a program based on one's blood type.

This new version is also equipped with brand new sessions and more than 157 new recipes!
