Accelerated metabolism diet: what it consists of and what result is obtained

Throughout the year, many people, after certain periods in which big binges are the main protagonists, claim to go on a diet to compensate and, above all, to recover from excesses . Today, the offer of diets and plans to follow for this purpose is quite wide and, therefore, it is advisable to previously document in order to know which is the one that best suits our needs or our lifestyle .

In this sense, it is worth mentioning the diet of accelerated metabolism . It is an eating plan created by Haylie Pomroy whose main postulate is to eat more than what is normally used in a conventional diet to accelerate your metabolism and, in this way, your body burns the nutrients ingested much faster. To do this, he warns of the importance of breakfast, as well as eating about five times a day every three or four hours. Undoubtedly, this approach has revolutionized the way of dieting and familiar faces such as Jennifer López or Robert Downey Jr. have already been succumbed to it.

Combines all macronutrients

So what is this fast metabolism diet all about? Well, according to its creator, the most important thing is to rotate the different macronutrients , that is, carbohydrates, proteins and fats in order to offer different stimuli to your body and not reach the dreaded stagnation . To do this, you should know that it is a plan established in cycles and each one of them lasts approximately four weeks. But that’s not all, because in turn each week is divided into three phases, thus varying the eating patterns over seven days.

To begin with, the first phase corresponds to the first two days of the week and in them vegetables, carbohydrates, fruit and protein are the main protagonists while fats have no place. And it is that, these do not appear until the third phase, which would correspond to the last three days of the week and that, on the other hand, are introduced to transform the fats released in the second phase, which by the way does not allow intake carbohydrates basing only the diet on ample amounts of protein, vegetables and low-glycemic fruits.

As you may have observed, it is a diet in which no macronutrient is excluded and that only plays with its correct distribution in a person’s weekly eating plan . However, some aspects that you must take into account to carry it out properly is that, for example, in the second phase the proteins must be strictly those of animal origin , as well as a plan in which you must eliminate certain foods from your pantry.

In this sense, both sugars and artificial sweeteners, as well as alcoholic beverages, wheat, corn or any food belonging to the dairy family, especially cheese, are strictly prohibited. So, once you have completed the first seven days of the diet, you must follow the same scheme in successive weeks until completing the first month. Once you have reached your goal, you would enter the maintenance phase of the plan , a not so strict stage that consists of applying the phase 3 scheme to your day to day, although yes, always choosing those foods of the highest quality .

What are your results?

The great person in charge and author of this diet, which has already achieved many followers around the world, affirms that with a correct follow-up of the proposed plan, you will be able to lose up to ten kilos in just one month . Although this diet of accelerated metabolism does not enjoy the sympathy of some doctors and other nutritional experts, the truth is that in social networks there are many people who have shared their testimonies about how the plan proposed by Pomroy has worked for them .

For some, the importance of this diet is not so much in the results it offers on a physical level, but above all in that it is a way to educate the palate and teach eating habits . And, it should be noted that 90% of the foods proposed in the plan are what in recent years has been called ‘real food’, that is, totally natural foods and without any type of labeling.

However, although diet is essential for the activation and acceleration of our metabolism, exercise is another aspect to take into account . In fact, Haylie Pomroy herself recommends, depending on the phases of the plan attributed to each day of the week, the realization of one type or another of physical exercise. For example, for the first phase (which includes the first two days of the week) it is best to do cardio sessions, while during the second stage you should opt for weight training exercises or similar. And, when it comes to the last three days of the week, what Pomroy proposes is a relaxed sensation of low-intensity cardio or other laid-back activities like yoga.
