"To his credit, the foods he classifies as high-response, high-yield foods are mainly nutritious picks."

    What You Can Eat


    By Karen Asp

    In Dr. Phil's Diet, foods are separated into two categories: high-response, high-yield foods and low-response, low-yield foods. High-response, high-yield foods are packed with nutrition whereas low-response, low-yield foods are loaded with calories and have little nutritional value. For instance, high-response, high-yield foods include fish, beans, lean red meat, low-fat milk and yogurt, whole-wheat bagels and pasta, brown rice, fruits and vegetables. On the other hands, low-response, low-yield foods, all of which you're supposed to limit or avoid include pancakes, alcoholic beverages, full-fat cheese, soft serve ice cream, butter, fried chicken and fish, apple and orange juice, white rice, bacon, prime rib, trail mix, potato chips, pretzels, cream soups and all candies. Dr. Phil provides extensive food lists for both categories and offers a sample seven-day meal plan.
