Healthy Recipes: The Fast Metabolism Diet is designed to include three days  The Fast Metabolism Diet is designed to include three days of exercise per week: • One day of cardio in Phase 1 • One day of strength-training in Phase 2 • One day of yoga, stretching, or deep-breathing in Phase 3 That means you can do the treadmill or spin class during Phase 1, a Body Pump class during Phase 2, and your Vinyasa or Bikram yoga class during Phase 3. If you don’t belong to a gym, you can take a brisk walk or run around the neighborhood during Phase 1. During Phase 2, you can lift weights at home, even if you just have a set of dumbbells. During Phase 3, do a yoga or stretching DVD, or check out some of the great deep-breathing exercises on YouTube. Just remember: Don’t mix and match your exercises. They are phase-specific, too, like your food lists. If you haven’t been exercising at all, the three days is all you have to do. What if you are an exercise fanatic? I’ve had clients tell me, “But...

 How much do you want to weigh? I’m asking you, not telling you, because you already know  It’s a number that is completely unique and individual to you. It’s the weight that makes you happy, and it has nothing to do with the weight that will make someone else happy. I’ve had clients who weighed 250 pounds, and they knew they would be happy and comfortable at 180 pounds. Other clients feel best at 150 pounds, or 130 pounds. Your goal is to be able to feel and eat like a “normal person.” No chart can tell you what that means for you. I never recommend going by weight charts or the BMI. I hate the BMI! I just can’t bring myself to recommend it to my clients. I’m not going to put any weight charts in this book because chronic dieters already have a number in their heads. When you reach it, you might decide to set a new goal. But for now, decide what you want to weigh, and write that number here. My current goal weight is IF YOU HAVE 20 POUNDS OR FEWER TO LOSE: Go by the basic por...

Ironically, the foods you crave the most may be the foods to which your body is most intolerant. When I was a child, I used to crave plain butter, and I would eat it right off the stick. Gross, right? But I couldn’t help myself. I also suffered from eczema. I didn’t know then that I was craving fat because my body needed it. Now I know that I need good fats, but I’m allergic to dairy. When I dropped the dairy, my skin cleared right up. What’s your weakness, your secret craving? Sometimes, I ask my clients, “Let’s say I have a magic wand and I can make your favorite or most craved food into the healthiest food on earth. What would you want me to use it on?” They admit that they are closet carb junkies or have intense cravings for sugar, chocolate, or cheese. That’s when I gently suggest that maybe these are the exact foods they need to trim or eliminate from their diets, at least for a while.

Healthy Recipes: meats must be nitrate-free Nitrates are substances that are typically added to cured meat products—like bacon, turkey bacon, sausages, jerky, and packaged deli meats (including the stuff behind the meat counter)—to impede bacterial growth, so the food doesn’t spoil as quickly. Because nitrates do this by slowing down the breakdown of fat in the meat, they also slow down the breakdown of fat in the body, just when we’re trying to do the opposite: melt the fat faster. Instead, eat meat that is cured and preserved naturally, with foods like celery juice and sea salt. These are perfectly safe and easy to find. Most supermarkets and all natural foods stores carry them, and several major food brands now make them, too. If you aren’t sure about a product, look at the ingredients label for words like “nitrate-free” and “naturally cured,” or ask the butcher if the meat is preserved with nitrates. Local organic meat producers also often have nitrate-free options. Just remember t...

Healthy Recipes: Don’t neglect your vegetable serving at breakfast This is very important Don’t neglect your vegetable serving at breakfast during Phase 3! This is very important. Vegetables contain cellulose, and when you consume a lot of cellulose, your body creates a lot of proteolytic enzymes in order to break everything down into usable and digestible components. When we eat a lot of fat, we want to make sure it is also broken down and converted to energy. You can’t have the fat consumption and the fat release without this breakdown if you want the fat to get out of your body. This phase isn’t complete without the breakdown, and that breakdown is facilitated by vegetables. Remember, like Phase 1, Phase 3 can be deceptive because it feels so good. But you are still doing a lot of internal work. You’re happy to do it because you’ve got all those feel-good hormones coursing through your brain, making you feel satiated and content, but it’s still work to scavenge all that surface fat ...
