YOUR DAILY SCHEDULE:BEST DIET- HEALTHY EATING

The first thing to consider is your schedule. If you work outside the home and have a strict schedule, it will likely determine when and how you eat. For example, maybe you can’t get up and have a good breakfast within 30 minutes of waking because you have to rush to the office, and you usually eat something there. No problem. As long as you eat something within the first 30 minutes of waking, you’re still following the rules. Just switch your morning snack and your breakfast. Have an apple as you’re getting ready for work, or a hard-boiled egg on the train. 

Once you get to work, make your phase-specific meal: your oatmeal or toast, eggs or turkey wrap, or celery with almond butter. You’ll also need to think about which food choices will work when you aren’t at home. If your office has a kitchen, great. If not, will you need to pack a breakfast the night before?

If you work the night shift, your schedule will be different. As long as you are eating within 30 minutes of waking, and every three to four hours after that, it doesn’t matter what time of day you begin, whether that’s 6:00 A.M., 6:00 P.M., or any other time.

Your work schedule or other aspects of your life may also impact when you have dinner. If you tend to eat dinner very late, you may need to have an afternoon and an evening snack before dinner to be sure you are eating every three to four hours.

Your daily schedule can also impact what day you start the diet. Although I generally recommend starting on Monday so you are in Phase 3 on the weekend, when the food choices are a little more liberal, this doesn’t work for everyone. I have one client who has date night with her husband every Wednesday night. For her, it works best to start on Saturday. Saturday and Sunday are her carb-rich, sugar-rich Phase 1 days; this melds best with the way she eats on the weekends with her family. Monday and Tuesday are family dinner nights, so she cooks meat and vegetables for everyone, and finds it easy to adhere to Phase 2. On date night, she is in Phase 3, so she can go out for Mexican food and enjoy guacamole, or Middle Eastern food and enjoy hummus, or she can have salmon sashimi at a sushi restaurant. Thursday and Friday are her remaining fun Phase 3 days, and then by Saturday, she’s ready for Phase 1 again.

Think about your own schedule in these terms are there particular days when it would definitely be easier to be in a particular phase every week? Plan your start date based on that. Any schedule can work with the rules, especially if you always have Crash Stash snacks in your purse or desk. This is crucial. You can make the Fast Metabolism Diet work with your life, as long as you plan ahead.

Special Diets: Focus on the things that really stand out to you as delicious That being said, you are likely to see a good chunk of weight loss this week.  and sometimes a little more. That can feel scary, too. Some people wonder if it’s happening too fast, if they are burning muscle instead of fat. Others are impatient and think it isn’t happening fast enough, or they fear they aren’t being successful enough. Another thing I warn my clients about for week one is that this week, you’re going to have to get used to having a lot of a lot. What I mean is that on some days, you’re going to have a lot of fruit. On other days, you’re going to have a lot of protein. On some days, you’ll have a lot of vegetables. On other days, you’ll have a lot of fat. (A lot) is designed to enrich the body, giving it the nutrients it needs so that it can manufacture things like muscle, bone, hair, skin, and nails. Don’t forget our main goal here: to transform the metabolism so we can actually extract the...

STARTED THE DIET AND HAD TO STOP BEFORE FINISHING THE 28 DAYS his diet will always be here for you, and healthy, metabolism-enhancing eating at any time can promote healing and health in your body. Believe me, I understand that life happens. I had a client that was with me for three years and didn’t lose a single pound. The mochas, sudden business trips, divorce, deaths in her family, caring for an elderly parent and just life were enough to pull her off the program again and again. I was impressed we were able to keep her from gaining and keep her diabetes in line. Then one day the stars aligned and she did four straight months of the Fast Metabolism Diet. She lost 65 pounds. I am patient and ready when you are! I’ve got a full 28 days to give you. These are my survival strategies when real life happens and gets in the way of our “perfect” health plan. I know I said that you were mine for only 28 days, but I want you to know the door is always open and the same principles of healing a...

weight loss means they can start changing the rules of the plan Week two is always an interesting one. Often, people start to freak out a little about what just happened and what is going to happen next. Week two can be a bit of a roller-coaster ride, both emotionally and organizationally. OMG, you haven’t been on the program long enough for it to feel like second nature and haven’t quite gotten the rhythm of it all down pat, but all you know is that it’s exciting! Also, you might be excited or afraid or even confused about how your body is reacting to the program. Have you lost enough weight? Lost too much weight? Finally coming out of your coffee and refined sugar withdrawals only to find you don’t even remember much of last week? Let’s take a collective deep breath and soldier on, letting the program tether us to continuity, consistency, and repair. The momentum will increase this next week, so don’t fight it or get too creative—just stick with the flow. People usually react to this...
