F-Factor Diet Review: Does It Work for Weight Loss?
Are you looking for a new diet to help you lose weight fast? If so, you might want to try the F-Factor Diet. This eating program helps women get rid of bloating and water retention by simply eating according to their metabolism type.
The F-Factor Diet is an eating plan created over 20 years ago by Marilyn Glenville, one of Britain’s top nutritionists. The diet claims it helps women eat slim without hunger or deprivation.
It works on the theory that everyone has one of three types of metabolisms; fast, slow, or balanced metabolic rate, and this dictates what they should be eating to get into shape.
For example, if someone has a fast metabolic rate, they are considered an “explosive” type of person, which means that their body burns up calories quickly. Meaning they should focus on eating more fruit, vegetables, and wholegrain carbohydrates.
If someone has a balanced metabolic rate, they can eat most types of food, but it is best to avoid high-fat foods like chocolate and pastries. Whereas if someone has a slow metabolic rate, they need to increase the amount of protein in their diet, which will help speed things along.
According to Glenville, those with fast metabolisms tend to be smaller people with tiny waists, whereas those with slow metabolisms tend to be larger and have bigger waistlines. She also says that those who have balanced metabolism come somewhere in between.
A typical day on the F-Factor Diet plan would be as follows:
Breakfast – Eggs, whole grain toast, and fruit. This is followed by a mid-morning snack of yogurt or cottage cheese. Lunch could be chicken stir fry with whole-wheat noodles and vegetables. Mid-afternoon there’s more fruit, for example, grapes, an apple or an orange. Dinner is fish or lean meat with lots of vegetables low in starch like spinach, broccoli, or cabbage.
Plus some porridge for breakfast which seems to be oatmeal made with water, not milk for those with balanced metabolic rates. You can also have puddings, but they must contain little sugar and fat, e.g., diet jelly with fruit. Those who have a fast metabolism should avoid puddings, but they can have yogurt, berries, and fruit salad.
