Posted by: Patrick MacKeogh
Although all fruits and vegetables are “healthy”, the Metabolic Diet centres around eating large quantities of fat burning foods. This becomes tricky with fruits and vegetables because some have too high a sugar content to help fat burning. Only the highest fibre fruits and veg with the smallest effect on blood sugar should be eaten regularly. The following separate lists for fruits and Vegetables will list those you ...

The following questionnaire is for people who have been attempting a Metabolic Style of eating for over a week.
1. Are you ever hungry?
YES – Not good. This goes against the whole plan. Raise your protein and fibre (veg) intake until you feel satisfied, or else your metabolism will drop. Remember to eat before you become hungry.
No – Good, but make sure you never feel too full. This could mean over-eating. If you feel full check your intake quantities and possibly ...

Heres a great word from Jade Teta, one of the authors of MetabolicEffect, the nutrtion system we’re trained in. The Metabolic Diet follows this system. It is aty the cutting edge of exercise science in the USA.
“The entire weight loss industry is filled with plans. The “stay away from grains plan”, the “paleo plan”, the “fasting plan”, the “low fat plan”, the “low carb plan”, Atkin’s, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig…….these are all plans. And this feeds right into our desire ...

Metabolic Diet – FAQ Sheet 1
Posted by: Patrick MacKeogh
1. Can I drink Alcohol?
Essentially alcohol is a step backwards, but we do have to live our lives and I wouldn’t expect anyone to alienate themselves from their social lives. Try to minimise alcohol intake, and stay hydrated as much as possible. Dehydration will add to the negative effects of the alcohol itself, so drink a glass of water after every drink. As you get leaner alcohol will affect you more anyway, so you’ll need a lot less to “enjoy ...

Metabolic Diet – Cheat Day
Posted by: Patrick MacKeogh
As part of this metabolic style of eating, you can take one day a week where you eat what you want. The metabolic strength the diet gives you means you are less likely to put on fat when you stray from the plan.
I recommend that you leave this day rolling until you actually need it. An inpromptu work gig on a Thursday or a christening on a Saturday are both events you want to be able to enjoy. Its lost ...
