Book Description

Release date: April 9, 2013
Haylie Pomroy has helped countless clients lose up to 20 pounds in just 4 weeks –all through the fat-burning power of food. Hailed as “the metabolism whisperer,” Haylie reminds us that food is not the enemy, it’s the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning furnace.

On this plan you’re going to eat a lot. You’re going to eat three full meals and at least two snacks a day – and you’re still going to lose weight. What you’re not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. You’re going not to ban entire food groups. You’re not going to go carb-free or vegan or go cold turkey on the foods you love. 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 I (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
Phase II (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
Phase III (Friday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils

By keeping your metabolism guessing in this specific and deliberate way, 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.  Now it’s going to work for you.

In 4 weeks not only will you see the weight fall off, you’ll also see your cholesterol drop, your blood sugar stabilize, your energy increase, your sleep improve, and your stress dramatically reduce. All thanks to the miraculous power of real, delicious, satisfying food!

Plus, by switching up what you’re eating every few days, you’ll get to enjoy a greater variety of foods, so your palate will never feel bored or deprived.  Complete with 4 weeks of meal plans and over 50 recipes – including vegetarian, organic, and gluten-free options – this is the silver bullet for the chronic dieter who has tried every fad diet and failed, the first time dieter attempting to kick her metabolism into gear, and anyone who wants to naturally and safely eat her way to a skinner, healthier self.

Review

“This is not a fad diet.  It’s a medically proven method of food as medicine to fight obesity, cure chronic illness, and heal a broken metabolism.  Haylie’s years of experience and wisdom blends the perfectly delicious plan to create revolutionary results.”  Dr.  Jacqueline Fields M.D.

"Without question, Haylie is the biggest celebrity weight loss guru… period.  And here's the reason so many stars and athletes flock to her:  it works, and it's easy.  Unlike all of the "quick-fix" gimmicks and fad diets, the weight STAYS off.  I dropped 25 lbs. in the first month, and 10 more after, all with great food, and no counting calories.  I call her my witch (the good kind).  It's not magic, but it sure feels like it."  -David Swift, CEO Swift Entertainment

As I was reading The Fast Metabolism Diet I felt like the kid from Chorus Line who sang 'I can Do That.' So I'm doing the diet and watching the 2O ugly pounds drop…. Buy a case of books and watch your neighborhood shrink to right size. --Albert Clayton Gaulden, founding director, The Sedona Intensive and author of You're Not Who You Think You Are and Signs and Wonders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Ideas, healthy diet February 5, 2013

By Stephen Ashley 

From my wife Sarah: This diet makes sense to me on many levels. The author used to be a veterinarian who worked with fattening up cattle, and making horses strong,slender and fast. She took those principles she learned for the animals, and applied them to helping humans slim down in a way that's healthy, retains muscle and speeds metabolism. She found it worked. Now she's a consultant to the rich and famous.

Some of the principles in this book were ones I had discovered through reading a variety of books and doing a great deal of research. I created my own diet, and I lost 40 pounds. But with another 30 pounds to go, my weight loss stalled. No matter what I tried, I couldn't lose any more on my diet.

After reading this book I realized there were a few things I was doing that could have been slowing my metabolism. I'm planning to use several of the principles in this book to hopefully speed it up.

I can't say this diet is easy, but I can say that it looks healthy and balanced. And getting and staying healthy is at the core of it, which I heartily approve of. In fact it's similar to the diet I'm on for chronic illness, and it does make a difference.

The author removes anything from the diet that can inhibit weight loss, so if you stick to her program you won't be eating wheat, dairy, soy, sugar, corn, caffeine, fruit juice or artificial sweeteners. You can use a couple natural sweeteners like stevia (not my favorite, but tolerable).

The author talks about removing gluten because it can negatively impact weight loss, but then only removes wheat while allowing the other gluten containing grains. If you're gluten intolerant, eating gluten in any form could stall your weight loss, and many people have this problem without knowing it. If you still have difficulty losing weight even on this diet, you may wish to remove all forms of gluten.

The diet will take some preparation and planning, but it could be worth it. It will be easier for those who cook, but I think it could be done by those who don't.

For those not already eating like this, it could be very challenging to organize, plan and stick to. I think eating out could be a big challenge, but not impossible. The good news is that this diet can be temporary and done in 28 day increments. You can lose your weight in a healthy way and go off it. Still you might find that you feel better eating this way and stick to it!

By the way, soda is off the table, but I did inquire with the author and there's a soda called Zevia which is sweetened with stevia that she said would be fine for phase 1 and Phase 3 of her diet. Also, the author has a facebook page under her name, and she's answered our questions there. If you have questions you may get them answered there.

So if you're looking for a way to lose weight that's healthy, balanced and supports the body's systems without damaging muscle, I would recommend this book.
