Fast Metabolism Diet Plan

What Is the Fast Metabolism Diet?

The Fast Metabolism Diet is a nutrition program that promises to help you lose up to 20 pounds (9 kg) in 28 days. It was developed by Haylie Pomroy, a celebrity nutritionist and wellness consultant with an academic background in animal science.

The diet claims that eating particular foods at certain times tricks your metabolism into speeding up, resulting in weight loss. In addition to a weekly food plan, you receive an extensive list of foods to avoid. The diet also encourages exercise 2–3 times per week.
If you haven’t reached your goal weight by the end of the first 28-day cycle, you are encouraged to start again, staying on the diet until you have lost your desired amount of weight.

Once you’ve reached your weight goal, you are told you can maintain your results by repeating one week of the cycle every month — or the full four-week cycle once every six months.

Can It Help You Lose Weight?

The Fast Metabolism Diet Plan likely helps you lose weight for several reasons.

First, it incorporates plenty of whole foods. This may increase your fiber intake, which may contribute to weight loss (4, 5).

Next, excluding soy, wheat, refined sugar and sweeteners further cuts out many processed foods from your diet. This can naturally reduce the number of calories consumed, further promoting weight loss.

How to Follow It

The Fast Metabolism Diet program is split into three phases which are repeated on a weekly basis for a total of four weeks. Each phase emphasizes different foods and provides recommendations for various physical activities. Portion sizes vary by phase and depending on the amount of weight you want to lose. Below are the main guidelines organized by phase.

The Fast Metabolism Diet focuses on eating specific foods in a certain order to boost metabolism. Though its emphasis on healthy foods and regular exercise may aid weight loss, it cuts out some beneficial foods, is highly restrictive, largely based on pseudoscience and may be unsustainable over the long run.
