I'm 5'2" and 182 pounds :grumble: I've tried counting calories and Weight…
Phase 2 Recipe Ideas
Share your Phase 2 Recipes here! (this is the phase I feel most "at sea" about, so I'm just using ones from the book this first week).
Monday Weigh-Ins
I know that most of us has experienced immediate weight loss with this plan and that has lead some of us to weigh ourselves every day (I'm guilty)! Since our weight fluxuates and since stress can affect our weight loss, I thought it would be a good idea to only weigh ourselves once per week on Monday.

Phase Three Recipes
Mixed Berry Cashew Smoothie Serves 1 1.4 cup raw cashews 1.2 cup almond milk 1 cup frozen mixed berries Grind the raw cashes to a powder in the blender. Add the almond milk, then the berries. Blend until smooth. I can't wait for phase 3 again so I can try this one!
Using the app
I downloaded the app. Which I really like. Except for the fact that the app does not match the servings according to the recipes in the book. Is anyone else having this problem? An example the open face turkey sandwich calls for 2 slices of turkey. If I'm following the app my servings are 1 1/2 which means I should eat 3…

anyone currently following the Fast Metabolism Diet?
I see a lot of the posts are from about a month ago...anyone actively doing this? About to start on Monday. I have a sluggish thyroid from all of this on and off dieting. HOping this will get me back in check. The thing I am most worried about it giving up coffee.
Newbie to "The Fast Metabolism Diet"
Just purchased the book earlier part of this week. Still reading and learning about my relationship with food. Looking foward to starting this new way of eating on Monday 3/3/14.
Is anyone active in this group?
Just checking! I'd love to find a group of people do FDM!
New to FMD
Hi! Is there anyone still doing the diet? I have huashimoto thyroiditis and bumped into this diet. I have learned quite a bit reading this and from new research I've done. I have had this for 25 years and yet just now finding so much more detail out there. I'm struggling with what I can put on my salad in the way of…
exercise
Hi everyone, I have not yet started the diet yet but I have purchased the book. I have had significant success doing a great DVD (Slim in 6) and have been doing body sculpting 6 days a week (most of the time). Im a little scared about only working out 2 times a week. I'm curious what others have done. Also, does it really…
Losing the mindset about calories
When I read in FMD that there is no such things as calories and that food is better looked at from its nutritional value, I was shocked. A book who doesn't want me to worry about calories??? That is absurd. I thought as I was reading the book that maybe it will be a low carb book, then I looked at the first phase carbs and…
Portion sizes questions..
I have 2 questions if anyone can help me out... 1. I'm a vegetarian so other than phase 2, I'll be eating beans and lentils for my protein. Since beans have a lot of carbohydrates...would I still eat 3 cups of grains (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for phase 1 and 1/2 cup of beans for lunch and another 1/2 cup of beans for…
New, Does this work for people who have thyroid problems?
Hi All I've been searching for something to help slow my weight gain. I had graves disease about 20 years ago and due to the treatment went hypothyroid. I didn't have a 'real' issue with weight until about 8 years ago when stress and menapause caused a 50 lb gain. I'm struggling!! Does this diet work with people who are…
Any suggestions on how cook efficiently?
I'm amazed this actually works. This should be my 3rd week but I didn't plan my first week well so I started over. I stopped half way on the first week, but still lost 3 lbs (1 lb. per day) and went up 2 lbs. This week I started over and lost 6 lbs. as of yesterday. The first week I had to cook on Sunday for two people for…
