    The author doesn't want coffee consumed except one way: Yes folks the coffee enema--->personally I like a piping hot cup of Joe in the AM, but down my throat.....

    OP since your doctor recommended it maybe ask him why this diet versus other diets. Best of luck.

    Ewwww.. who puts coffee up their rectum? what a waste... lol

    Enjoyed your blog on the FMD. I've attempted to start this plan as I too believe in the reasoning behind it, however, I always seem to stumble thru phase 2. Appreciate your tips on getting thru it. I'll continue to give it a go. Looking forward to your update when you complete your second 28 day cycle.

    My only fear is that it may cost a lot I'm on a fixed income.

    Yea I find that when I have to go to the super market it does. I guess it depends on where you live and what season the fruits and vegetables are in. I go to a local market day every Sunday and get all my fruit and veg for the week at a fraction of the supermarket price. Butchers are often cheaper for meat than supermarkets as well and I just tend to buy what is on special that week. That just leaves things like rice, pasta and milks that come from the supermarket which I can live with. Organic is very expensive so I just get the normal fruit, veg and meat. Its less convenient having to go to separate places for everything but it does save money so I just have to make sure I am super organised and have all my meals planned out so I know what I am getting on Sunday.

    You'd have to be a moron to want to try this diet.

    bigcrystal123 is asking for help, this forum is motivation and support, you are clearly a troll and aren't being very motivating or supportive. I am pretty sure that you and all the other negative unhelpful people on this thread have not read into this diet because if you had you would know that it is one of the most nutritionally sound plans around. I know a few body builders and it is not far off what they eat with a few swap outs in ingredients. It is not for everyone as it cuts out some major ingredients like sugar, soy, wheat, corn and caffeine and yes calorie counting does work great too. But there are dangers with calorie counting that people get caught out by i.e. eating high cal low nutrition food and being starving on a 1300 cal limit. Also as I posted before sometimes it is hard for people who have been on this site for a while and have hit a plateau. This plan takes all the guess work out of it. If you follow it its pretty hard to mess it up. You don't have to part with any money as you can get the book out from the library and there are no products that she tries to sell you. I know that this is not the easiest or the 1st thing that people should try if they want to lose weight but if you are frustrated with things not working out then its worth a go.

    The coffee thing is not part of the diet just an article the author wrote on her website.

    So Phase I avoid all fats, but enjoy all fruits

    Phase 2 avoid all fats, avoid all fruits, but lemons and limes

    I didn't get to Phase 3, but it seems cutting all fats means C and P are the MACROS of choice, maybe.

    Thankfully they wrote a book, and have recipes, and everything. Best of luck.

    LOL....I can see we'll have to agree to disagree...this is working wonderfully for me and I am very happy with it. I hope your journey to better health works great for you, too! Best of luck! :smile:

    I have no problem disagreeing with those who fail to use logic. The author says not to count calories and calls them a "lie" only to then publish a list of approved recipes that happen to be low calorie in what is a low calorie diet. You then buy into the hype rather than putting forth any thought and realizing what she's peddling. Pomroy and PT Barnum depended on the same demographic for financial success.

    I believe the average is 95% of people who lose weight regain it. I would bet this.........diet........is closer to 99.9% will regain. This is one of the more idiotic ......diets......I have seen. Once again proves that common sense is a super power.

    For me omelette is the only way I can eat vegetables at breakfast! I use egg whites, meat (chicken or ham), spinach, onion and garlic and I serve with some fresh sliced up red capsicum. I use a non stick fry pan and start out by kind of boiling the onions in some water (no oil in this phase) until they are soft, then add spinach and let the remaining water boil off so it is wilted. Then I add the meat (make sure it is pre-cooked though) and egg whites instantly. You can swap out any of the veges for the ones you like but sometimes the quantities are a bit out and there are too many veges to bind the omelette and I end up with something like an egg stir fry lol. Its all good though it tastes the same!

    :laugh: I have been on the fast metabolism diet since January 30th, I have lost 51 pounds, and I have never eaten cleaner, drank more water, eaten a healthy breakfast more consistantly, stayed away from caffiene, soda, and pre-made foods or felt better....everyone who is putting down this diet should read the book....it speaks many truths, BTW, I was recommended this book by a nephrologist that I work with....an MD, so read the book, then tell me how much better you're doing! :tongue:

    Thank you! Well said, and I concur. Two of my friends lost 65lbs and 45lbs in 8 months, and are still losing. They convinced me to give it a shot, and I have never felt better. I'm in the first month and have lost about 5 lbs (after 2 years doing low carb, and weight watchers several times over the years).

    Also, my calorie count averages 2000 daily, so I have no clue where people are saying 800 calories per day.

    Nothing wrong with Dr. Oz. He recommends types of products but will not endorse particular brands. If he was in it for the money he would let all the vitamins & remedies he recommends use his name & likeness, which he refuses to do.
    [/quote] Which is why he's been questioned now by senators (who believe in science) on why he makes recommendations with no science backing the products he promotes on his shows.
    He's paid quite well for advertising on his show.

    Are you going to stay on this diet forever? Temporary diets = temporary results.

    It's not rocket science. Consume less calories, eat better food and work out. You don't need some hack of a doctor (and yes, he is a hack if he is recommending this garbage) recommending a fad diet.

    Well, after 6 weeks on the Fast Metabolism Diet, I lost 1 lb. I followed the plan and drank 100+ oz of water daily. My wife lost 8lbs. My friends lost between 5 and 10lbs. I wrote to Haylie, and she believes I have "heavy metals" in my blood, which would explain my badly screwed up metabolism, keeping me from losing weight. Turns out I don't, but I do have high iron. That doesn't cause a screwy metabolism, though low iron does.

    So, this is not working for me. I'm going to work with the Leptin Diet and see where that takes me. It's not that different given the type of foods eaten, but basically gives me a food list of super foods that heal poor Leptin reaction, says to eat 40% fat, 30% protein, and 30% carbs.

    I'm already off of sugar and caffeine, so the transition is pretty easy. Difficult to get specifics of what to eat each meal, but the biggy is to have lots of protein at breakfast, like 60-75g. However I can work that out is fine. Also stay away from saturated fats. I know that saturated fats are no longer the "bad guy," but since I spent so much time on the LCHF diet, my blood lipids were great, but I had high inflammation and high iron, meaning too much sat. fat, and too much red meat.

    Wish me luck on the Leptin Diet.

    The diet is only meant to be followed until you lose the weight you need to and then to be uses as needed. I find it funny that people object to clean eating, increased water..cutting out sugar, wheat and caffeine. My skin has never looked better, my energy level is much greater.. I look at this as the spark to get me eating healthy. People are so negative...I would hate to be the type of person who always wants to pooh pooh what others do because it doesn't meet their approval.

    There isn't a reason to eliminate any food without an underlying medical issue. That applies to sugar, gluten, fat, anything. "Clean" eating is entire subjective and a meaningless term. Make sure you obey all of Haley Pomroy's ideas and squirt coffee (let it cool first) into your colon ... after all, she advocates that. Science and logic result in seeing how laughable this and other fad diets truly are. Luckily for the author, PT Barnum was right and the demographic he described rushes to buy these types of books, diets, etc.

    Well, I look at this as a life style change.. in that I am cutting out artificial ingredients and eating whole foods. I have lost almost 6 pounds this week. I have greatly increased my water intake and am eating more fruits and vegetables than I have ever eaten. It's a positive change for me and as far as coffee enemas go...I have never tried it but there are many who advocate them and speak of the benefits. Fad diet? lol ok I guess eating healthy is a fad for some.

    PT Barnum spoke of your kind over a century ago.
