Ornish Diet

Ornish Diet Shows Results

U.S. News and World Report ranks the Ornish diet first in its Best Heart Healthy Diets rankings. The publication does so because making the recommended diet changes is scientifically proven to reverse heart disease.

A study in top health journal The Lancet showed the Ornish diet reversed serious artery blockages within a year. Five years later, people still on the diet maintained their progress. Learn more about the evidence of the Ornish program’s success.

Heart Disease Team Helps You

The Ornish Reversal Plan consists of 18 sessions with a team of specialized heart disease experts. Each 4-hour session includes a nutrition lecture and recipe demonstration with a registered dietitian.

You learn about foods containing protective substances to prevent heart disease. Your nutritionist also shows you how to incorporate delicious recipes into your daily menu.

Ornish Spectrum of Healthy Foods

World-renowned heart disease expert Dr. Dean Ornish created the national Ornish program. Dr. Ornish groups foods along a healthiness spectrum, or range, with Group 1 foods the healthiest and Group 5 foods the least.

Moving in a healthier direction along the food spectrum helps you look and feel better. To reverse heart disease, your goal is to choose as many foods as possible from Group 1.

Healthy foods in Group 1 include:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Legumes
• Soy products
• Whole grains, like brown rice and whole wheat
• Non-fat dairy
• Egg whites
