The fast metabolism
diet acts by accelerating the metabolism and increasing the expenditure of
calories in the body, which helps in weight loss.
This diet promises to
eliminate up to 10 kg in 1 month and is composed of a diet plan that must be
followed for four weeks.
The slow metabolism is
the leading cause of the failure of weight-loss diets, even when one has a
correct diet combined with physical exercises. Thus, it is necessary to
increase the metabolism so that the weight loss continues.
This diet and any
other should be guided with the help of a nutritionist since it should be
adapted to each person's health history.
Stages of the
Metabolism Diet
Each week of the
metabolism diet is divided into 3 phases: controlling stress hormones, blood
pressure, increasing immunity and accelerating fat burning.
The only foods that
cannot be eaten during this diet are sweets, fruit juices, dried fruits, soft
drinks, alcoholic beverages, coffee, and gluten or lactose products.
Phase 1: Menu
This phase of the fast
metabolism diet lasts two days, and the objective is to control hormones that
control the fat stock in the body.

During this phase, it
is forbidden to consume any fat, even good fats like olive oil.
Phase 2: Menu
This phase also lasts
two days, and the objective is to increase the burning of old fats, challenging
to be eliminated with conventional diets.
✱ Breakfast: 3 egg whites stirred or cooked, seasoned with salt, oregano, and parsley.
Besides fats, it is

Phase 3: Menu
The last phase of the
fast metabolism diet lasts three days and can increase fat burning; no food
group is prohibited.

After completing the seven days of the diet, you must restart the phases until completing 28 days of diets.

Besides weight loss, the author says that the diet also increases muscle mass, controls hormones, and improves health.
