The Metabolic Effect Diet: Eat More, Work Out Less, and Actually Lose Weight While You Rest

Really informative, easy to read book. Don't get this if you want a step by step restrictive diet but if you want to understand how your metabolism works and how to adjust your lifestyle to get fit and lose fat forever this is the best book I've found.I tried another book that made sense but didn't work for me. I've only been following this one for a few days and already I'm feeling energised rather than sluggish as soon as I wake in the morning. Morning headaches have also disappeared. I'm not expecting a miracle weight loss but looking forward to sculpting my body and feeling healthier.Many years ago, having had 4 children close together, I lost the baby fat with Slimming World and weight training. I continued to be very active and work out roughly following Slimming World, eating lean meat, lots of veg and limited carbs. This worked for 20 years then post menopause with empty nest and a sedentary lifestyle I've piled on 5 stone. I thought I was too old to do anything about it but this book has motivated me to get off the couch, exercise and go back to sensible eating.

I've been on this diet for 2 1\2 weeks and lost 9lbs,I can honestly say I've not been been hungry or bored which is why so many diets have failed in The past,I really feel great and confident that I'm going to reach my goal weight,I've got more energy and a feeling of well being that I haven't had for a long time.I'm a 50yr old mum of two teenagers who has struggled with my weight for years.We live on an average income and just couldn't afford The expensive diet plans out there. The book can be a little long winded at times but you need to get through it to understand how it works. It explains how your hormones are affected by what you eat and how they affect your metabolism and weight.There's a quiz which you must answer honestly to establish how your body burns calories and to decide what foods you should eat or avoid. It's very straight forward and not difficult to follow or understand.You eat 6 times a day and exercise each day,this includes healthy snacks,the exercises are not long or completely exhausting but essential to keep your metabolism going.This is not an expensive diet to follow (too many diets are full of expensive hard to get ingredients or products ) I shop in Lidl and they have all the foods I need,all I outsource is protein powder and fibre powder from amazon. I use unsweetened almond milk for the protein shakes which I is only 80p a litre in lidl.This diet will literally change how you look at food and how you have overconsumed sugar without realising it.You have one day a week when you eat and drink what you want and it's a revelation to have a cheat day,for me it's a Saturday and I look forward to it all week,it really keeps you going . The cheat day does not affect weight loss and is great for your well being.Give this book a try,the authors run the 'metabolic renewal' programme that you see advert used in Facebook etc,which I think can be quite costly,but this book is all you need .I don't write a lot of reviews but I felt that people would want to hear from an average person who has struggled and finally found the solution without being paid or sponsored etc,for a good review,this is my honest opinion,make of it what you will.Thanks for reading my review.

This book really helped me understand my body so much more. The quiz helps work out which body type you are and what foods are best suited to your I found it a really informative book

It's very straightforward and informative.

Long and boring
