She has a lot of passion and expression about why she believes that the real problem for most people is not dieting, it is a slow metabolism. This made a lot of sense to me because when I was 21 years old, I could eat anything and I remained at 130 lbs. As I aged, my metabolism slowed down and I began to gain weight. I gained an average of 4 lbs/year over the next 20 years. After that, I stopped eating desserts and fatty foods and my weight stabilized at 210 lbs. However, I did not lose weight, even on low carb, low fat, high exercise diets, my weight stayed the same. Diets and exercise just made me hungry so I would eat more.
The Haylie Pomroy diet requires at least 28 days of commitment to the program. Her approach includes the following attributes:
- Eat real foods - no processed foods
- Eat a specific type of food in a 2 day - 2 day - 3 day pattern each week
- Eat 3 meals per day plus two snacks
- Plans are available for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans
So, my wife and I spent a couple of hours at the Natural Grocers store yesterday and purchased a lot of foods that I have never eaten. The website has shopping lists for all 3 phases of the program which are used every week. Her videos have a lot of technical information on why the diet she suggests will repair and re-energize you metabolism. Your body will naturally remove excess fat once the metabolism is up and running again. Perfect! I will give it a try.
