edited to add: I forgot to thank Hershey’s, Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet, and Katie from JSH&A for sponsoring this special giveaway celebrating Table for Five’s FOURTH BIRTHDAY!! It’s my blog’s birthday, my readers get the chance to win the gifts!
I’m so thrilled to be partnering with Hershey’s for this giveaway. Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate is the first chocolate bar to earn renowned health and fitness expert Bob Greene’s Best Life Treat Seal of Approval, which is awarded to treats that offer a nutrition edge over other products in their class and come in portion sizes of 150 calories or less.
I’ll be honest, I was supposed to run this giveaway while it was still SUMMER, so it might seem odd to be giving away a beach tote and beach towel, but look at it this way- you’ll have something to use at indoor pools or save for next summer if you win.
The Hershey Company and Bob Greene would like to help YOU live your best life while still being able to treat yourself. Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate comes in individual squares that are just the right amount. There’s Original, Chocolate with Raspberry, and Chocolate with Cranberries, Blueberries and Almonds for even more of a nutritional punch. Packed in a colorful beach tote, each giveaway includes a copy of Bob Greene’s “The Best Life Diet” and “The Best Life Diet Cookbook” along with plenty of Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate for a delicious, but indulgence. To finish off, the totes will include an aluminum water bottle, pedometer, and beach towel to create the ultimate “Best Life” giveaway. Retail value $100, and I have three to give away!
WIN IT: To enter to win one of three Best Life totes from Hershey’s Extra Dark, visit Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet site and familiarize yourself with his plan. Then come back here and leave a comment telling me one benefit to signing up for Bob’s diet and fitness plan. This entry is required before you can earn additional entries (see below).

I really want to enter this. I know this does not count as an entry but was wondering if I could get the link to Bob Greene’s site. I can’t seem to find it in the post. Will search for the right one and come back. I LOVE dark chocolate.
Yay, I found it. I think one of the most beneficial features of the plan is the three phase strategy. My parents follow the South Beach diet and every so often go back to Phase 1 to get back into the groove of things. I like the flexibility this offers to maintain the new lifestyle it creates.
Glad you found it, sorry about that! I edited the post to include the link.
I like that it’s baby steps. Not a huge change all at once that I won’t be able to continue as a lifestyle change. thanks

i like the idea that it is a diet that takes small steps to make lifestyle changes that can last a lifetime. I think in the long run this is so much more effective than a diet where you drink shakes as a substitute for meals and then gain back all the weight once you stop drinking the shakes.
The greatest benefit for me is the support system. It’s always helpful when you have others going through the same thing you are. They understand your struggles.
One great benefit is it helps you keep your calories in check. You’ll do so primarily by managing your hunger using a tool called the Hunger Scale, putting a lid on sweets and eating proper portions. And with our calorie counter, you’ll see how close you’re coming to your daily calorie goal each day.

One great benefit is the self-help guide for emotional eating. I know I do it. It doesn’t have to be depressed or angry, I eat out of boredom or to celebrate something. I think this would be a great tool to help me curb this emotional eating. Thanks.

One big benefit is that this is not a quick fix but a slow adjustment to overall eating habits that you can sustain for the rest of your life!
Looks like the biggest advantage to signing up for his program is the extra support. Ongoing, long term support is really important to weight loss and maintenance. Thanks!
One benefit is the healthy meal plans. I could certainly use that!

Bob Greenes plan for a healthy lifestyle is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Proper excerise,sleep and nutrition are the keys. Bob has a winning solution.
The comprehensive support along with the sensible easy to follow instruction.
That it is designed around simple, baby steps.
The benefit of signing up is the COMMITMENT of finally doing something for your personal well-being. Sometimes that is the hardest thing to do. (Now excuses will sound just like excuses.)
I think the main benefit for me would be the recipes-in other diet plans they either give you the food so you cannot do it on your own later or their guidance is not specific enough and I get confused as to what I can eat. The support, without having to travel to a meeting to get it, is a plus as well.
I like that there are Clear Calorie Goals on Bob’s Plan. It takes out the guess work and makes it easier to achieve your goals by being straightforward!
I am on a diet plan and I found that it is important to have good information to be successful. I like that Bob has the healthy diet plans that you can access. I love that it has grocery lists and calorie counts and recipes. It is important to change your way of eating and this helps a lot.

Thank you.
Bob Greene rocks! I’ve briefly looked at his Best Life Diet book before, but I’m interested in reading it in full. The chocolate wouldn’t be too bad either
What a site.
I like that the Best Life plan is rooted in the idea that eating is and always should be one of life’s greatest pleasures. You can love food and live happily while still meeting your weight-loss goals.
It is hard to get rid of the pounds and the site helps.
Wow!
Benefit-”helps you keep your calories in check. You’ll do so primarily by managing your hunger using a tool called the Hunger Scale” Interesting!

I love the Baby Steps approach. Some plans can be so overwhelming that it’s easy to give up right away.
I like that the plan covers so many aspects of having a Best Life. From support (key) to step by step management, to recipes, motivation and exercise. (even if you are not an exercise enthusiast) It’s an all inclusive package that he is offering. And affordable -which for many of us is key. It’s not a quick fix, but a lifestyle change, meant to incorporate good habits for the rest of your Best Life.

His plan looks helpful in two main ways: baby steps. I am working to get back in shape and small steps is the way to go. Also having an idea how many calories and using a hunger guide would be very helpful. This is a book I will read and use!
Thanks for the giveaway,too.
I like that it is less disruptive to lifestyle.
Support from the Memember Community!

Their community is a place I could go for encouragement, support and advice. Sometimes that is helpful.
I like the fact that it has a member community and message boards. Losing weight is so much easier when you have support.

They have a member forum which can be very useful when you are trying to lose weight. Thanks for the chance.

Being chronically ill makes it difficult to exercise or diet. I like that they give you recipes. Having support is great because they might think of alternatives you didnt think about.
Bob addresses the fact that some of us eat emotionally. Boredom, stress, sadness, or even happiness cause us to nibble. He understands and helps us deal with it in this diet.
The program is set up in “baby steps” to make it easier and more reasonable to follow.
it has healthy meal plans and the system moves in small steps for success
One benefit I like is daily columns by their team of health, fitness and nutrition experts.

I like his two key Phase One objectives — increasing your activity level and restructuring how you eat — will help jumpstart your metabolism and increase the number of calories you burn. Thank you!

I love that there is a three phased approach because half the problem with most diets and plans is that they expect you to jump right in which can be a very dramatic change for most people.
I Love Bob Greene! And joining his program will help jumpstart your metabolism and increase the number of calories you burn.
One great benefit of his program is this: The recipes. I scanned through a number of them, and they are easy, realistic, and sound delicious. It is so important for us “dieters” who have goals to lose weight that we not feel deprived. His program is supportive and it really is grounded in reality.

The best benefit to me would be the expert advice and support. Hey if its good enough for Oprah, right.

Really cool! Thanks for the chance.

The best part about the website for me is the community. It is always nice to work on a goal with someone else, who understands and can support you.
The online community is great, then you don’t feel like the only one with certain issues, and with so much support someone will have a response that works for you
I think the best benefit of this would have to be all the wonderful recipes. Having amazing food that tastes great and you don’t have to feel guilty about eating is a wonderful thing.
One great benefit would be support and advice about emotional eating.
The greatest benefit of joining Bob’s plan would be reading the daily columns from health, fitness and nutrition experts. I need constant reinforcement to keep me on the right track taking care of my body, mind and soul. Thanks for the chance to win the awesome prize pack. Fun stuff!

I like the simple, easy to follow recipes, and the fact that regular activity counts toward your exercise goal! Thanks!
A big benefit is the online member community for support
Bob Greene’s plan is in phases to allow someone to increase their activity level and change the way that they eat. Doing it this way allows one to jumpstart the metabolism and increase the number of calories that are being burned. The foods that receive Bob’s Best Life label work specifically for someone who is on the plan.
I have subscribed to the email newsletter and have tweeted about the contest yesterday and today. I have read the book but the recipes are something that would be interesting to me because they are healthy and designed to help you do well on the Best Life plan.
this plan will help you gradually change your eating habits for life.
Lifestyle change instead of the word diet is SO motivating!
I really like that it’s not just a diet. It’s very important to gradually change your way of eating so that you’re not missing much. This is a great diet!
One benefit of signing up for Bob’ diet and fitness plan is that you can set your own diet preferences, create and save favorites, swap meals, print shopping lists, track calories, and add custom foods.

The most important benefit I see is if you are disciplined enough to log your meals, the site tracks you daily calorie intake against your daily goal. This would be even better if it was a widget you could have on your phone to keep with you. Most folks don’t carry around their computer.
One of the benefits would be the “community” aspect– having “friends” offer their support to you.

To keep our calories in check by managing our hunger using the Hunger Scale. Although I have learned how to properky portion out meals for myself, I need help putting a lid on sweets!
the baby steps/three–phased approach sounds good, i’ve seen where friends give up when they can’t just jump right in and keep up with ppl who’ve been doing it for a while
i like the members’ support community. i agree that if you have friends who are supportive one will have a better chance of success. it’s nice and comforting that if you need help that there will someone around to help you.

they are about sound lifestyle changes approached with baby steps.
Wow – this sounds great – Bob’s three–phased approach is meant to prepare your body for weight loss. For instance, two key Phase One objectives — increasing your activity level and restructuring how you eat — will help jumpstart your metabolism and increase the number of calories you burn.

I like it that he has clear calorie goals. I find it difficult with ambiguous diets where they restrict food groups but not calories.
I also like the fact that he incorporates exercise into the plan, but it’s not killer stuff like you see on Biggest Loser.
His plan is laid back enough that you can live with, but intense enough to lose the weight.
I like his baby steps approach. And after each phase, he steps it up a notch and changes things to increase your metabolism. Sounds like a great program, I just wish it was free.
One benefit is that the plan is geared towards gradually making permanent changes, not immediately making temporary changes.
I think the biggest benefit of Bob Greene’s plan is that it is based on small, attainable goals. It starts by making small changes to gradually change your entire lifestyle, not just lose weight quick.

I think the biggest benefit for me personally would be that this is not an “all or nothing” plan. It is baby steps and allows me to adjust to each step as I go. This plan teaches true lifestyle changes to maintain weight loss.
Hundreds of meal plans to choose from and lots of expert advice make this sound like a wonderful plan to me.

I like that it isn’t a diet it graudally learning to change your eating habits.
An important benefit is the Hunger Scale – I know I’ve often gone to get something to eat and stopped when I realized that I wasn’t hungry, I was just getting something to eat because I was bored, tired or (fill in the blank).

I most love the way yo9u can personalize the eating plan. Too often it seems choices are taken away while dieting, making it very diffficult to make sensible, healthy long-lasting change a way of life.
I love dark chocolate and wanted to enter because of the dark chocolate, but I like to eat healthy too. I learned Bob was into healthy foods since age 8.

The best benefit for me would be the member community that is there to support and help you along with your lifestyle change.
One major benefit to the plan is that it includes healthy meals. Thanks for this offer.
i like that he wants you to get moving before anything else.
There are quite a few benefits to the plan but the most important one to me is that it seems to show you how to prepare to lose weight. It sounds simple enough but if you go from what you’re doing now right to the plan, it seems to me that the diet is destined to fail because you’re going from one extreme to another.
Thank you for the contest!

One of the benefits from the plan that I think is REALLY awesome is that it addresses the emotional aspect of dieting as well, so many places don’t do that and I think that’s a huge part of shedding weight and keeping it off especially for emotional eaters like me!

i love the baby steps idea. you need to make small changes that will stay with you rather than huge changes that will only make you gain the weight back once you quit doing them. once you make one small step you will feel motivated to do the next one because the first was so easy and so on
Bob’s plan provides the benefit of the Activity Tracker, that helps you see what’s working to give yourself exercise, either traditionally or the steps you walk at work, and you get credit for that, so you always feel like you’re making progress.

I think for me the best part is it is not a typical diet- You won’t go on it and then off it. Instead, this plan will help you gradually change your eating habits for life. And unlike so many other diets, the Best Life plan is rooted in the idea that eating is and always should be one of life’s greatest pleasures. You can love food and live happily while still meeting your weight-loss goals.

I like the recipes and message board. Sounds like a great program.
I like that it uses small more realistic steps that make it easier for those of us just starting out who don’t want to jump in full force! That’s a sure fire way to burn out. Thanks so much.
Gradual stages for life adjustment.

This plan helps you change your eating habits and exercise habits in baby steps. Which is helpful for everyone! Big changes are hard but if you make little ones here and there… those see to last.. and give you look at what you can do to make bigger changes.. I also love the videos like Bob’s Basic 8 exercises!
I love that there is a online community where I can share my goals with other people who know what I am going thru.I love that it goes in steps so that I will not feel overwelmed.
I really like that he has the Best Life Foods listed and continuously updated. Sometimes I go brain dead in the store and can’t remember which items are Best Life Approved. And yes, I know they have the symbol on them, but sometimes I need the list in front of me so I can run and grab the item quickly!
