Haylie Pomroy - Fast Metabolism 14: Lose 14 Pounds in 14 Days by Harnessing the Power of Food

Contents

A s I was sitting down to write this, my sixth book on health, nutrition, and weight loss, I took a lot of time to reflect on my last twenty-two years of clinical practice. I thought about who comes to see me and what they have typically endured on their path to get here. Most of them land in my office after theyve suffered years of body shaming and food struggles. Most of them have spent a lot of time and financial resources trying to achieve weight loss. Many of them are mad at their bodies. They are frustrated with their bellies. They are angry at their thighs. Yet here they are, sitting across from mewhether in an actual chair or virtually as they open the pages of one of my booksand telling me they will do anything. They will give up anything, because they are desperate to achieve the weight loss that keeps eluding them. Some come to me with well over 100 pounds to lose, and the very thought of that is overwhelming. Some have lost a lot of weight in the past but have gained it back and cant seem to summon the energy or the will to go through that weight loss process again. They want me to give them a boostto help them find the necessary courage, to help them find hope that they really can lose it, and lose it for good.

Over the years, I have learned it is important to take a step back and look at the industry my clients have turned to for help, for resources, and for products. When I do that, I see how damaging constant dieting has been to them. It has slowed their metabolisms and dulled their motivation. It has disappointed them over and over again, and it has not kept them healthy. In many cases, it has sapped their health and vitality until they feel like they have almost none left. They have learned that starvation is necessary. They have learned that weight loss takes huge effort. They have learned that dieting comes at a steep price. Many of them believe that they just cant do it anymore. This is why we need a revolution.

I wrote this book in the spirit of revolutionizing the concept of what it means and what it feels like to lose weight. Although you may have learned otherwise, the truth is that weight loss doesnt have to be painful or boring. It doesnt have to take over your whole life. It can be easier than you think. And it can be fast. It can be effective. It can be delicious. And it can be good for your health. You dont have to sacrifice your skin, muscle tone, energy level, or satiety for weight loss. And you dont ever, ever have to starve. In fact, you must not starve. You can and should lose weight by eating food. Its the only way to work with your bodys natural processes.

As my practice and my writing have evolved, along with my commitment and insatiable thirst to be a lifelong learner, I have watched my clients carefully to find out what they want and need from me. My flagship book, The Fast Metabolism Diet, helped millions of people repair their metabolisms and, in the process, lose up to 20 pounds in twenty-eight days. My other books, including The Fast Metabolism Diet Cookbook, The Burn, and Fast Metabolism Food Rx, have helped people tackle very specific weight loss and health barriers. Now, for the first time, because it is my constant quest to give you what you seek from me, I am unveiling my very latest, fastest-acting weight-loss plan yet. Metabolism Revolution can help you lose up to 14 pounds in just fourteen days by melting fat and stoking your metabolism to burn at an unprecedented rate. And its all centered around food.

But super-accelerated weight loss is not all that is new about Metabolism Revolution. We are going to do some things I have never done with my community before. We are going to define your ideal body weight. We are going to rank the current state of your metabolic dysfunction (how far off you are from having a fast metabolism right now). We are going to define a body-specific intervention. And in fourteen days, we are going to revolutionize your metabolism so you can burn fat at a fast and furious rate.

In fourteen days, you will lay down muscle, stimulate collagen production, burn fat aggressively, and realize outrageous weight loss without starvation or deprivationup to a pound a day, day after day after day. You will look slimmer, feel tighter, be firmer and stronger, and have more luminous skin, shinier hair, and stronger nails. We are going to create meal maps together, and you will know exactly what you need to do every day. Everything is easier with clear instruction and constant support, and that is exactly what you will get from me. It wont be complicated. It wont be time-consuming. But it will work.

In other words, you need to know how to sustain your weight loss in real life. Because as nice as it would be to have a personal chef or even a mom who still packs your lunch every day, or maybe to have every meal and snack delivered to your door, even in those ber-supported situations, life happens. It happens to us all.
