Anyone done the Fast Metabolism Diet?

I got the book this week after a friend told me about it. I thought it was a total gimmicky, fad diet - until I read the book.  I am starting it on Monday and I am really excited about it.  I have PACKED on the pounds with all of my miscarriages last year and I am so depressed by it.  I figure if this diet works, that will put me in a better place if we can get pregnant again and stay pregnant.  And then I can do the diet again after we (fingers crossed) have the baby.  Curious if anyone else has read this? or done it?

  • It is basically clean eating.  Nothing processed, no sugar, no soy, no corn, etc.  There are 3 phases and you do phase one for 2 days, phase two for 2 days and phase three for 3 days.  She tells you what to eat and when to eat it and you do it for 28 days.  The premise is to rev your metabolism back up.  She does want you to exercise - one day of cardio in phase 1, one day of weight training in day 2 and yoga or something relaxing in phase 3.  my friend has coworkers on it and she said they are melting away.

  • What do you do after phase 3?
  • I do have to say that clean eating is really the best way to go when loosing weight.

    She has a maintenance plan (I haven't read that far yet).  The theory is that you jumpstart your metabolism, so that you are able to indulge at times without issue.
