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.

I am in the third week of following this diet and have lost 12 pounds already and feel great! Yes the diet is super regimented of what you can and cannot eat but it makes sense to get rid of some of the stuff we eat and get back to basics and it is only for 28 days. There is a lot of prep work to get ready for this diet but once I spent a weekend shopping and then cooking several of the dinner recipes I was set. I froze extra portions so now all I have to do heat 'em and eat 'em.

Absolutely ABHOR the lack of app for this diet for droid users. IT'S BEEN YEARS. It's incredibly stupid now to not cater to droid users who also buy this book. It would make DOING the diet in a simple organize manner without lugging the book around l. PLUS the food list is more complete in the app than in the book. If anything the book's food list is outdated now. Also the app provides portion sizes, water intake reminder, grocery list just ugh MAKE A DROID APP. SERIOUSLY. THIS CAN ONLY BRING MORE MONEY.
