The Fast Metabolism Diet: Eat More Food and Lose More Weight Description
Haylie Pomroy has helped countless clients lose
up to 20 pounds in just 4 weeks –all through the fat-burning power of food. Hailed as “the metabolism whisperer,” Haylie reminds us that food is not the enemy, it’s the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning furnace.
On this plan you’re going to eat a lot. You’re going to eat three full meals and at least two snacks a day – and you’re still going to lose weight. What you’re
not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. You’re going not to ban entire food groups. You’re not going to go carb-free or vegan or go cold turkey on the foods you love. Instead, you’re going to rotate what you’re eating throughout each week according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that will set your metabolism on fire.
Phase I (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
Phase II (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
Phase III (Friday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils
By keeping your metabolism guessing in this specific and deliberate way, you’ll get it working faster. This isn’t just a theory, it’s the results-based product of Haylie Pomroy’s successful programs. It’s worked for celebrities, for athletes, and for people with chronic illnesses who need to lose weight, doctor’s orders. Now it’s going to work for you.
In 4 weeks not only will you see the weight fall off, you’ll also see your cholesterol drop, your blood sugar stabilize, your energy increase, your sleep improve, and your stress dramatically reduce. All thanks to the miraculous power of real, delicious, satisfying food!
Plus, by switching up what you’re eating every few days, you’ll get to enjoy a greater variety of foods, so your palate will never feel bored or deprived.
Complete with 4 weeks of meal plans and over 50 recipes – including vegetarian,organic, and gluten-free options – this is
the silver bullet for the chronic dieter who has tried every fad diet and failed, the first time dieter attempting to kick her metabolism into gear, and anyone who wants to naturally and safely eat her way to a skinner, healthier self.

The cover of this book makes a bold promise: "Lose up to 20 pounds in 28 days - Eat More Food & Lose More Weight". This idea combined with the suggestion of a faster metabolism sounds like a dream come true.
So, who is Haylie Pomroy and why should we listen to her? A quick Google search found a video segment on TV program "Access Hollywood" about how stars like Cher, Jennifer Lopez and Robert Downey Jr. go to this celebrity nutritionist to shape their great bodies. She looks fantastic and talks about avoiding unnatural foods such as fat-free, artificial sweeteners and chemical additives. She tells us to eat a healthy breakfast within 45 minutes of waking to rev up our metabolism (the book says 30 minutes). I can tell already that this is based on sound information and not another fad diet.
As the title suggests, this book is about creating a faster metabolism to burn more calories. The author exposes myths and truths about metabolism and how many people have created a slow metabolism. Some are real eye openers like "It's not about calorie counting" and "deserts do not make you fat". Okay, I really want to know more.
The program itself consists of a 28 day plan followed by guidelines for fast metabolism living. It is divided into different phases, each with a purpose.
Phase 1 - Unwind Stress. High glycemic, moderate protein, low fat phase.
Phase 2 - Unlock Fat Stores. High protein, high vegetable, low carb, low fat phase.
Phase 3 - Hormones, Heart & Heat. High healthy fat, moderate carb, moderate protein, low glycemic fruit.
Each phase has a list of foods to select from with recommended exercise type.
At first glance, I thought this might be too restrictive for many people to follow.
This review will probably be a bit long, so I apologize in advance.
I was interested in this book because there seemed to be a lot of science behind it (based on animal diets), and I thought it would be interesting to try. I don't have too much weight to lose (definitely under 10 pounds, and perhaps even 5), but I have been stuck at the same weight for a long time. I didn't really think that this diet would work for me, but in the end, it did.
Before I start, I want to mention V. Canfield's excellent review on the book. As I mentioned, I don't have too much weight to lose. If I followed the serving sizes in the book, I would be on an *extremely* low-calorie diet. Which is ironic, because the author repeatedly states that low-cal diets are the reason many people have sluggish metabolisms. Pretty contradictory! So I totally ignored the serving sizes and ate however much I wanted of the permitted phase foods (and I can eat a LOT).
Ignoring the serving sizes was not the only aspect I modified. I also didn't stick to the specific meal plans (carbs + fruit for breakfast, for example). I only ate what was on the prescribed food lists, but I ate them in whatever combination I wanted to. I hope that make sense.
Although this diet is restrictive, I didn't find it terribly hard at first glance. I'm vegan, and thus don't eat dairy, so cutting that out was easy. However, the implementation of the diet was trickier than I first supposed.
Phase One was great for me - I looove carbs and fruit, and ate to my heart's content. Loved it. Phase Two was really, really tough. Since I'm vegan, I'm allowed to eat tofu and tempeh, but that's it in terms of protein. No beans or anything!
