About this ebook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Kick your metabolism into gear with a diet program that uses the fat-burning power of food to help you lose up to 20 pounds in 28 days

“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.”—Jacqueline Fields, M.D.

Hailed as “the metabolism whisperer,” Haylie Pomroy reminds us that food is not the enemy but medicine needed to rev up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism to turn your body into a fat-burning furnace. 
 
On this plan you’re going to eat a lot—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, or go carb-free or ban entire food groups. Instead, you’re going to rotate what you eat throughout each week according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that will set your metabolism on fire.
 
In four weeks you’ll not only see the weight fall off, but don’t be surprised to find your cholesterol drop, blood sugar stabilize, energy increase, sleep improve, and stress melt away as well.
 
Complete with four weeks of meal plans and more than fifty 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, for the first-time dieter attempting to boost their metabolism, and for anyone who wants to naturally and safely eat his or her way to a skinnier, healthier self.

Ratings and reviews

...In fact, you have to eat so often (every three hours) and such large portions (adjusted by how much weight you are trying to lose) that it took me a couple weeks just to get used to it. Also, water portions are VERY large, even for those who drink a lot of water. I found it less limiting than other diets I've looked at, which is good, because I'm allergic to eggs. It was nice to see a program in which I wasn't having to substitute something else for eggs every third meal. I've only lost about 10 lbs, so far, after one round of the program, but my metabolism is definitely up, and once you get used to it and plan accordingly, it's not too difficult to adjust to the high frequency of eating prescribed. The meal mapping is quite flexible. My main issues with it are the writing tone, and the fact that it's heavily informed by food fashion trends and the author's dairy allergy. I went ahead and allowed myself moderate dairy on the "dietary fats" days and had decent results. I already used low-fat meat/lots of veg sitrfry and homemade fermented sourdough breads as regular parts of our family food plan, so I substituted sourdough for sprouted breads and did fine.

The first time I started this diet, I could only finish 1 week since I had to unexpectedly travel. Last Sunday I started it again and I love it. It gives me so much structure to what I need to eat and when to eat it. I'm also in the premenopausal stage, which has made it even more difficult to shed fat and pounds. My weight loss has been in a halt for 2 years now. On this first week I have lost 2 lbs, I feel energized and so healthy. The app makes it so much easier to do, I recommend it 100%

I've been on this diet for a couple weeks and have already lost 20lbs. I started at 225 and now down to 205 and still have 20lbs to go. I'll tell you days three and four are the hardest. You eat all day on this diet so those that say this is a starvation diet I don't see it. You have to keep on the water and also workout with it and you'll feel great. Get the book and for those that are on iPhones or ipads get the app it does help.
