The Flex Diet

SMALL CHANGES YIELD BIG RESULTS. Many diet books present readers with a single, inflex­ible program which forces them to stay on that diet or risk another dieting failure. Rather than teaching you just one way to lose ten or twenty or even fifty pounds, The Flex Diet shows you how to lose a single pound . . . in 200 different ways. A medically proven approach to weight loss from WebMD’s heart expert, The Flex Diet allows you to create your own custom­ized weight-loss plan—one that fits your lifestyle, is full of tasty and nutritious meals, boosts energy levels, and keeps the weight off for good. Start TODAY to lose five pounds: The Flex Diet begins with a two-week phase called “Today,” when you begin to make small changes to your diet and lifestyle that will help you lose weight right now and create a blueprint to a new you. It’s as easy as keeping a food diary, taking a multivitamin, and getting more sleep. Do it EVERY DAY and lose ten more pounds: Next, three weeks of “Every Day Solutions” introduce meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with dozens of tasty recipes and complete nutritional information. Heart healthy exercise and lifestyle options let you retool your life. Get yourself started on posi­tive Every Day habits like storing leftovers before you eat, switching to skim milk, and walking during breaks at work. Have it YOUR WAY to keep inches off your waist: The “Your Way” phase offers nearly 100 more lifestyle changes and solutions that you can use to take things to the next level and continue a lifetime of slim and healthy living. The Flex Diet is an exciting new approach to a new you, your way.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith, a powerful six-week plan to burn fat more efficiently by improving metabolic flexibility. The human body has the amazing ability to switch which fuels it uses for energy based on what fuel is available at the time—researchers call this metabolic flexibility. Bodies that are able to make this switch can burn sugars, proteins, and other food nutrients when available, and then switch to burning the body’s fat storage or fatty acids when food calories are not available. It turns out that losing weight is not just about burning calories, it’s also about switching between these pathways as efficiently as possible. Yet little has been written about how to achieve metabolic flexibility—until now. Dr. Ian K. Smith is a renowned medical expert and the author of numerous bestselling health books. In The Met Flex Diet, he offers a one-of-a-kind plan to improve metabolic flexibility through changing the types and quantities of food/beverages consumed, as well as the type of exercise. Timing is also a factor—timing of meals and timing of exercise relative to when the meals are consumed. All of these variables will play an important role in helping the body make the important switch from one fuel source to another. In just six weeks, readers can experience amazing fat-burning results by following simple guidelines, like: Eat the first meal of the day three hours after waking. Complete a fasted cardio workout within the first two hours of waking. Get at least seven hours of sleep a night. Finish dinner two hours before going to sleep. Complete with meal and exercise plans, as well as recipes, The Met Flex Diet gives readers every tool they need to meet their weight loss goals.
