    No I haven't but I'm intrigued... I am so bad at keeping to a particular diet in general. Just had a tuna, light mayo and sweetcorn panini and am full but not satisfied! I was fairly close to getting a meal that had fries with it instead...

    I don't diet. I do lifestyle changes...
    Once you return to a normal way of eating your weight normally goes back up.

    This! I eat what I like, just smaller portions. I make better choices and still fit in treats. Worked well for me.

    Proper lifestyle is where nobody's fat and no one needs to restrict their diet. Everybody knows that.:tongue:

    i think it means, eating the same foods you've always eaten, but by logging your food correctly you can also stay within your calorie goals and still lose weight.

    put simply: eat what you love to eat....just eat a little less of it.

    other items like treats are usually planned ahead, enjoyed, logged, without ever having to feel guilty about them.

    that way once you get to goal weight, you dont have to worry about what you are going to eat

    this is a lifestyle change...no dairy, no refined sugars, no alcohol, no caffine. Its too help your metabolism work properly...Ive now lost a total of 5 pounds in 7 days. The word DIET in this book stands for: DID I EAT TODAY. The aurthor is Haylie Pomroy for anyone who is interested.

    umm that is called eating in a deficit and has nothing to do with "speeding up metabolism" ....

    dairy slows down your metabolism?

    If it's only for 28 days, it's a diet. Not a lifestyle change.

    Below is from the website:

    "Eat your way to a thinner you! On The Fast Metabolism Diet you’re going to eat a lot, and still lose weight. What you’re not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. 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 ONE (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
    •PHASE TWO (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
    •PHASE THREE (Friday-Saturday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils
    •Repeat for four weeks!
    Each Phase focuses on different whole, healthy foods to calm your adrenal glands, reduce stress on your liver, and feed your thyroid so it can produce the hormones T3 and T4, the superstars of a fast metabolism. You’ll reduce stress, too—and as a result, put the damper on the belly-fat hormone, cortisol. By keeping your metabolism guessing, 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."

    So you pay 24.95 for a plan that has you eating protein, healthy fats, fruits, and veggies...?? LOL you realize you can do that for free right?

    I am really just trying to save you money...

    you can eat healthy food, eat in a 500 calories per day deficit, work out more, and not have to pay some so called nutritionist your hard earned money ..

    Why did you post the thread asking about it if you did not want reasoned responses?

    another gem from the web site it says "you should eat every three to four hours..." why? meal timing and metabolism have no correlation...

    if spending 24.95 helps me with meal planning, food suggestions and recipes, I think its worth it.

    So you're never going to eat dairy, refined sugar, alcohol or caffeine ever again? :huh: And a few posts after this you said it's only for 28 days, so not really a lifestyle change. :tongue:

    I've been eating between my BMR and TDEE for over a year. I have many days that I was over calorie goal - through the holidays and my bday week(s) (long celebration!) - did not gain at all, and I'm pretty sure it's because my metabolism is truckin' right along due to eating well for the past year (as in the proper amount of calories, and balanced nutrition with room for treats) - not restricting things, not cutting out foods I love - and reasonable exercise. This I CAN do for life, eating well and losing the fat, keeping the muscle.

    Temporary changes get you temporary results.

    Now I can get all the sarcasm if you all read the book and did research on it. Wait no I can't get the sarcasm, because support should never come with sarcasm.

    I am trying it only because I have noticed that my weight gain lately has been different than before, which means my Hoshimotos Thyroiditis might be going into full gear. I want to work on it. I've done the counting and eating less and expending more, and it worked great, until I got so burnt out of counting, and ended up gaining 24 pounds back. When I say burnt out I mean burnt out.

    This is something just to help me.

    By the way in the book she talks about how calories aren't all the same for everyone. Pretty interesting, I thought.

    MFP does that for free...but hey it's your money, spend it as how you see best...

    I am just wary of anyone or thing that claims it will "speed up metabolism" ....

    You want to lose weight...eat less, work out more...simple...

    It would be sooo cool if it were that simple. Maybe if you read it, it might see things a tad differently.

    I have lived it. Compound lifts + eating in deficit have taken me from 210 pounds and 20+% body fat to 170 and 12% body fat..

    why would I spend 24.95 on something that has zero use to me..?

    I don't see what is so hard about eating less and exercising more...
