Has anyone heard of the Food Lovers Diet Plan? It is suppose to boost your metbolism. Will I be wasting my money?

    All one needs to do to lose weight is eat at a caloric deficit.

    It's a fad. Food does not boost your metabolism, but it does nourish and fuel your body.

    Just eat at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight.

    Don't pay anyone for a "diet plan", unless you're severely overweight (morbidly obese) &/or have a medical condition such that eating normal amounts of normal foods would be unhealthy for you.
    Then if you do need specialized help, go to a dietician, not some fad diet on the internet.

    Eat what you like, in normal portions, stay under your calorie goal (10x your healthy goal weight), exercise at least 30 min/day, rarely eat back any exercise calories, and you'll have a sustainable life change that will lead to losing weight.

    The bold part is incorrect. While it might work for the you, it certainly is not a model for everyone.

    One benefit of a diet like that is that you do not have to think things through. It tells you what to eat. Go ahead and do it if that kind of thing works for you.

    buzz words like "boost, detox , metabolism boost, weight loss pill drink , diet" steer clear if something is that good they wouldn't need to use buzz words to sell it people would look awesome itd be global and sold out and the world would all be skinny!!!!

    I'm really starting to hate the word "metabolism." Stop trying to make weight loss more complicated than it is. Losing weight isn't easy, but it is simple, and you don't need some miracle diet to do it.

    Yes. Complete waste of money. Diets are, except for the 'eat less than normal' diet. It involves eating whatever you want but just a bit less than normal so that you lose weight.

    Cheaper food lover plan:
    Eat food you enjoy
    Log this food accurately and honestly
    Maintain a reasonable calorie deficit

    many people just starting out on a weight loss and/or health improvement regimen need and could use more structure than simply being told to eat in a caloric deficit. For us who have been doing it for awhile, we understand that only a caloric deficit is required. However, for the beginner, following a detailed plan can be useful. I do not know anything about this particular plan, but finding a detailed plan to get started should not automatically be discounted. OP...read...learn...experiment...find your TDEE, start tracking and logging everything you eat and have patience. Good Luck.

    you can't boost your metabolism

    Sure you can. You can move more or get fatter
    no

    actually getting fatter and weighing more can increase RMR.

    Some people are new here and don't understand the basic concepts yet

    I'm not really understanding what you mean by basic concept?

    That by gaining weight you can increase your metabolism

    oh well people need to know that right. That why overweight people usually have a higher RMR.

    Hey! You give up on the Banana and Sardine Detox already huh? I would have thought that was THE ONE. It has the word "detox" it in. Quitter.
