Phase 1—Unwind Stress and Calm the Adrenals Days 1 and 2 Phase 2—Unlock Stored Fat and Build Muscle Days 3 and 4 Phase 3—Unleash the Burn—Hormones, Heart, and Heat Days 5 to 7 Let’s consider how the three phases of the Fast Metabolism Diet coax your body to burn fat, build muscle, balance hormones, and lay the foundation  for a healthier you. Our bodies require variety from our diets in order to get all of the nutrients necessary to perform all biological, physiological, and neurochemical functions. That’s just what the three phases of Fast Metabolism give you. You need complex carbohydrates, natural sugars, protein, fat, and even salt to maintain normal body chemistry. At times you need very high therapeutic levels of these elements, especially when you’ve been depriving yourself for too long. Including these fuels, but not all at the same time, helps you to rebuild, restore, enrich, and replenish your depleted body and your burnt-out metabolism. Each phase only lasts for a short ...

Now you know what can go wrong when you chronically diet or eat foods that don’t contain dense nutrition. So what do you do about it? How do you make it right. When your metabolism has become dysfunctional, it needs the equivalent of a personal trainer to get it back into shape—someone who can take the raw materials of your body and sculpt them into the body of your dreams. Consider me that trainer and Fast Metabolism your guide to cross-training your metabolism . What do I mean by that? If you do only one kind of exercise, like running or the elliptical trainer, your body gets used to that exercise and you soon stop seeing results. You hit a plateau. You’re using the same muscles in the same way every day and neglecting all the other muscles in your body. In the same way that cross-training shakes up that routine by keeping your body surprised, Fast Metabolism shakes up your dietary patterns by doing two things.  Flooding you with some of the vital nutrients you’ve been missing, b...

How do I know I have a slow metabolism? This is one of the most common questions I get, and it’s the key reason I like my clients to get some basic  tests before they embark on the Fast Metabolism Diet, to see just how out of balance they are. The tests aren’t necessary to benefit from the Fast Metabolism Diet, but they can help you to understand exactly where you are and how far you need to go. I recommend these lab tests with a caveat: they are just one part of that peek into the window of the house that is your body. Imagine you’re shopping for a new home. One day, you see a cool house, and you wonder if you should call the Realtor and get a tour of the inside. Before you bother to make the call, maybe you sneak into the yard and take a peek through the window. You see a beautiful living room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and lots of light. Great! But you can’t view the whole house. The upstairs might be completely trashed, with squatters and rats and graffiti on the w...
