The Fast Metabolism Diet: Eat More Food and Lose More Weight

If you’re a vegetarian this really isn’t for you. I went back to eating fish as I don’t eat tofu which is the only alternative for vegetarians, but phase 2 is protein 5 times a day with veggies 3 times a day and nothing else.A lot of people seem to go for egg white but if you don’t like them you have no option at all.So all in all I think it has potential but if you are a vegetarian or even pescatarian (fish 5 times a day) you don’t have any real options. So I’ve given 3 stars for the concept.The book isn’t the easiest to navigate, it’s very jumpy and flicking back and forth, I put tabs in it to try and help. I feel the writer had a good concept but it hasn’t translated well into the book. If it was rewritten, I think it could be done in a far more understandable and referrable way.

Bought this as a nutritionist said something about Metabolic balance so decided to buy it. It was the best thing I have done and gave me so much information about why I wasn't losing weight no matter what I ate or how much I exercised. I can honestly say it has changed my life as I have lost 1stone 2lbs in 6 weeks. Being an American author I was not used to some of the food names but managed my way around the few things that are not easily available in the UK. A good recipe section at the end of the book and really like some of them so it was all good for me. Definitely recommend it if you find you cant lose weight.

I was having problems with menopause and had gained weight around my middle overnight!! After using this book for 2 weeks I have notied quite a difference and am very pleased.

The most boring book what I have ever read. There are books, which hard to put down, this one is the opposite, hard to pick up again. On the first 10 pages, I was very excited and after 40 pages I was like, when it will start to talk about the diet? So much details, made headache for me. I will come back and edit my review with the actual results.I wrote my review in April 2019, now it is December 2019, I decided after 8 month I write my experience.Until I was 19 years old I could eat anything without gaining fat. I started to gain weigt, so I sarted to do diets, since then my life is all about dieting. Now I am 31 years old, and when I'm eating, I'm "walking on eggshels". I don't eat anything which can make you fat, no sugar, no gluten, no dairy etc. Still I have 30 kg extra weight, my metabolism incredebly slow, it is possible because of the years of starving. I made the first round with this book, the first 4 weeks, I lost 2 kg. I was happy, it was better than with any other diet. However after I went back my normal, starving life, I gained it back. So I gave a second chance to the book and half year later, I made the diet one more time. I lost 3 kg, but unfortunatelly I gained it back, even I tried to eat healthy. I'm sure, the diet works for many people, as I could see in the reviews. Maybe if I do it more time, it will work better for me as well, it is possible I have destroyed my metabolism with the continous starving. So for me the book did not make the miracle, I am desperate to find a solution for my problem.

This is an amazing diet. I hate diets, they never work or if they do you pile it all back on again afterwards. This diet was 28 days - lots of food prep needed which was irritating but I stuck to it. The food lists were helpful. I never felt hungry, the food was good (cookbook is a must). I lost 7.1kg in the 4 weeks of the diet, took a 2 month break over the summer and binged and only gained 2KG back, have started joining 1 maintenance week a month since then and lost another 3kg just with 2 maintenance weeks. Didn't do any of the recommended exercise or I think I would have lost more. My sister in law and friend are now joining it and losing the similar amounts. I learned a lot about what my body does and doesn't respond to in terms of food because of the different eating phases involved.
