The Luqaimat Diet That Beats All Others

Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elhashemy
According to Consumer Reports in May, 2011; Jenny Craig is the best ranking diet-plan, beating most famous diets including: Slim-Fast, Nutrisystem Weight Watchers, Atkins and Ornish and the Zone Diet.

Consumer Reports based its ranking primarily on the results of a 2010 study involving 332 participants in which 92% of the dieters adhered to the Jenny Craig program for 2 years lost an average of 8% of their body weight.

There are two top ranking diet plans that are based on portion control, namely: Jenny Craig and SlimFast.

Jenny Craig: combines personalized counseling (over the phone and in person) with prepackaged portion-controlled meals.

SlimFast: is portion control diet depending on branded snacks and shakes. The modified SlimFast advise the dieters to eat six times a day - three snacks, two SlimFast shakes or bars and one 500-calorie meal. The expected weight loss is about 10% of body weight loss in six months.

Luqaimat diet is the portion control diet of the Arab world. It has four major advantages over the abovementioned highly ranked and famous Jenny Craig and SlimFast diets.

1. Luqaimat diet generates results surpass all other globally famous diets. For patient with BMI around 40, weight loss after 1.5 years amount to 30.5% of the patients´ average original weight. These results exceed by far the results of 8% and 10% generated from Jenny Craig and SlimFast, respectively.

2. Luqaimat diet does not require specific meals or prepackaged foods. The dieter can eat any food he wishes as long as it is in small portions.

3. Luqaimat diet raises the self-esteem and confidence because the dieter will be trained on delayed gratification, which in turn will potentiate his decision making abilities.

4. Luqaimat diet can be maintained for long since all kinds of food are allowed. Hundreds of my patients are still following Luqaimat diet since 2005.

Luqaimat is an Arabic word for the minimum amount of food in one´s diet that must be eaten in order to keep fit. I innovated my Luqaimat diet in 2005, the diet plan advise the dieters to eat 5 Luqaimat each day in addition to one moderate-size diversified meal.

Each Luqaimat may be a single piece of fruit, vegetable, a small piece of bakery, sweets, or chocolate, or five units of nuts, and so on, repeated every 2 – 4 hours. The moderate-size diversified meal consists of 3 plates the first contains a maximum of 1.5 cup-full of starchy food and vegetables plus palm-sized meat, poultry or fish. The second plate contains a maximum of 1.5 cup-full of green salad, and the third plate contains a matchbox size of sweets.


Worth highlighting that the modified SlimFast diet which was developed only in 2009 follows the same idea as my Luqaimat diet plan (which was developed in 2005) in regard of advising 5 small snacks and one moderates sized meal.

In my opinion, Luqaimat diet plan is the perfect formula for weight loss due to many reasons including the following:

1. Obese people are allowed to eat all their favorite foods (but in small volumes), so they can maintain their diet for good and stick to it.

2. Obese patients are educated about the action of Luqaimat on their gut and brain, so they will reach better mind-gut cooperation.

3. Obese people are trained on satiating gradually their stomach through boosting frequently Elhashemy´s Stomach Satiety Spot "ESSS", so within few weeks, they will not need to eat big volumes of food.

4. Obese people are trained on regenerating gradually their brown fat through eating frequently purple fruits and vegetables laden with anthocyanins (according to Elhashemy´s theory of brown adipose tissue regeneration).

All these reasons result in unprecedented success rate in weight loss using Luqaimat diet plan. This is why, tens of thousands of obese and super obese patients in Egypt and the Arab world are following my diet plan instead of going on globally famous diets, or being submitted to bariatric surgery.

The Egyptians and Arabs interest in Luqaimat diet plan is reflected on increased viewing of several videos about Luqaimat diet on youtube. Some of those videos had around 130,000 viewers on youtube in one year time.
