The Omni Diet was written by Tana Amen after she successfully cured her chronic health issues by eating the right foods.
While battling digestive problems, constant infections, and even thyroid cancer, Tana discovered that healthy eating was the answer.
As she researched how different foods interact with the body, she discovered that a diet, primarily plant based, held the cure for her ailments and thus, The Omni Diet was born.
Amen says that weight loss is just a side effect of The Omni Diet.
Tana Amen describes The Omni Diet as 70% plant and 30% protein. The plan is dairy free and only includes foods that are organic, hormone free, and non-inflammatory.
The primary goal of the diet is to increase nutrition and reduce inflammation.
The basis of the Omni Diet is a 6 week eating plan that transitions dieters into eating according to the 70/30 ratio. Dieters are taught about foods that traditionally we have been told are “healthy” and why they are not. Amen also discusses the vital importance of incorporating nutrient dense foods, which she calls Omni NutriPower Foods.
Other Highlights of the 70/30 Omni Diet:
Amen encourages dieters to stick to the plan for at least 14 days as it takes at least two weeks for tastebuds to adjust and to detox from all the bad foods they have been eating.
The Omni Diet asks dieters to commit to at least 5 changes to their lifestyle during the first 2 weeks. 16 are given in the book, but Tana Amem believes the top five are…
Tana Amen recommends the use of dietary supplements as part of the Omni Diet. She makes general recommendations like using fish oil, but also devotes a part of the book to promoting her husband, Dr. Daniel Amen’s, line of supplements.

The Omni Diet seems like a great diet for those wanting to focus on eating more plants but not be completely vegetarian. The increased nutrition and anti-inflammatory effect of this diet should help people be healthier and disease free.
Weight loss will likely occur due to less calories consumed with the elimination of refined sugars and refined carbs although dieters will still have to exercise portion control when eating the complex carbs recommended in The Omni Diet.
