Body-for-LIFE was created by Bill Phillips. His plan really emphasizes healthy eating and including daily exercise. In his plan, you're going to be eating several small meals throughout the day, making sure that you're making good choices such as whole grain breads over white, refined breads, olive oils or canola oils for cooking rather than using something like lard or shortening, choosing whole fruits, lots of vegetables, high-fiber foods such as legumes. Black beans are a good example. Another good example of a high-fiber food would be oatmeal. With his particular plan, you're making sure that each of your meals are balanced and that you're including some type of healthy carbohydrate, again, such as that whole grain bread or the whole wheat pasta, making sure you have nice lean protein, something such as tuna, turkey, and making sure you have fruits and vegetables throughout your day.
