The Fast Metabolism Diet: Should You Try It? (2 of 5)

As for those three phases, here are the details:

Phase 1 (days 1 & 2): high-carb, moderate protein, no fat

This is the complex carbs phase, meaning you’ll eat legumes, whole grains, and high-glycemic fruits such as pineapples and bananas. Pomroy claims this phase of the diet relieves stress because of course she does.

You’ll also get your fill of proteins during this phase, although you will avoid all fats. Finally, your exercises should be cardio-based, with the energy coming from those sugary fruits.
