The Fast Metabolism Diet

Today was day 1 on the Fast metabolism Diet.  I received a free copy of this book to read, review, and blog about.  I don't think I could give an accurate review of the book without actually trying it, right?

I must admit, the author, Haylie Pomroy, sucked me right in on the very first page of the book.  The book starts...

    I am the metabolism whisperer.
       I know why you can't do it ~ why your body doesn't respond anymore to the relentless dieting, the           mind-numbing exercise, the low-carb or low-fat or high-protein diets.  I know why you aren't losing weight...and I know how to fix it.

I thought, WOW!, she must be spying on me!  I have, like so many others, tried every diet, read lots of books, experimented with different types of exercise, only to remain overweight.  In my most recent attempt, I was eating 1200 "healthy" calories a day and doing an hour of zumba 3-4 times a week.  I was feeling really good and gaining weight!  How does that happen?  I don't understand it.  After a few week, I re-injured my knee and had to stop zumba so I stopped eating right.  Do you want to know what happened?  I LOST weight!!  I was eating Reese's!  I don't understand.

So, here I am again.  This book sounds logical to me.  The foods are things that we already eat.  I haven't found anything weird or bizarre that my family would not like.  It will take a little work at the beginning learning how to pair food together but I think after a couple of days it won't be too bad.

My journey began today.  It is a 28 day program.  I can stick to it for 28 days.

I will keep you posted on my progress!
