..........so we're not supposed to put coffee in our butts?
Who knew?
This is the second time I've heard someone mentioning butts drinking coffee today. :grimacing:
That's sacrilege. No one should treat their coffee that way. Or their *kitten*.
Mentioning the E-word is a sign that you should run, far and fast. In the opposite direction.0 -
Of a different opinion than it seems everyone else who has commented on this post, I have done the fast metabolism diet twice and enjoyed it. It was not restrictive at all and I was never hungry. I had great results with the diet and will continue to do a week of the diet every so often when I need to detox my body and lose the extra water weight and bloat. You do not need to purchase any of her products to be successful on the diet. I'm thinking many who have commented on here have never taken the time to read her book explaining why she allows and doesn't allow certain foods on the diet.-3

If it is "not restrictive at all" how can there be foods she doesn't allow?

FMD is not a fad diet. If you look at all the menus you will clearly see it's real food that encourages you to eat healthy, unprocessed foods. I started day 1 today. Without all the coffee enemas, etc. look at the menus. Now Dr. Oz....I can agree, I use to like him but as time as passed I am pretty upset with him.-3

If you look at it is is a LCD that puts you at about 6600 total calories for a week ... 1800 below a 1200 per day minimum ... well below that when calculating net calories. Of course, she claims calories are a lie then tells people to restrict heavily. 700 cals for two days ... 800 cals for two days ... 1200 for three ... repeat for about a month.
Then there is the Pomroy/Oz combo platter ...

If Oz admitted that his diet plans don't pass scientific muster during his Congressional testimony, and this is one of his plans ... hmmm .... let's take this to the logical conclusion.

Firstly, thank you to all the responders who woke me up from my post vacation slide into "woo" acceptance. To the OP, Dr. Oz has nothing but his pocket-book in mind when it comes to what he pitches. That doesn't mean that everything he says is garbage, but it does mean you can't trust him as a go-to source.. especially when a book and supplements are for sale in relation to whatever diet or what-have you.
The problem with this diet, and ALL diets is that you might lose weight quickly, but you will put it back on and then some when you are done. I actually found this post because I was wondering more about this approach, but as I read I realize this is not a magic pill. As with many of these diets, there is a shred of truth tossed in, which is why we are all susceptible to the con (intention or no, it IS a con). Insulin resistance and sluggish metabolisms ARE a thing, but if you have either, you are going to feel like crap, and you are going to be hungry all the time. Hence, you are not going to want to do the necessary exercise or calorie reduction to lose weight. If you think you have either, have your doctor run blood work. The best way to speed things up is to suck it up and get 3 days of VIGOROUS exercise a week. I'm not talking a stroll with the dog, I'm talking winded and sweaty. For me it's running (which I swore I would never do, but it's the most bang for my exercise buck). As for eating, make sure you are eating ENOUGH. The reason groups like weight watchers are so successful, is that they understand that weight loss is a long term balancing act. You have to eat enough calories to not make your metabolism shut down and go into starvation mode, but few enough to create a calorie deficit.
The bottom line, is that whatever you do needs to be a permanent change in order to be sustainable. This diet is not.0 -

Damn, my whole life is a lie, I don't even drink coffee and I've still been doing this!

Well OP go for it, knock yourself out, enjoy, learn, lose a bit of weight and start your journey.
NO!
I'm pretty sure that post was all satire....0 -

OP may have left the plantation....since this thread was from the beginning of January.
