About the book by Yves Adamson and Haley Pomeroy
Hollywood star patients call Haley Pomroy nothing more than a "metabolism guru." The book, written by a famous celebrity nutritionist, simply and easily reveals all the secrets that slow down the metabolic process. It also contains recommendations for accelerating metabolic processes, lists of products that are allowed to be consumed, as well as weekly menus with various nutrition options and more than fifty recipes used by the author. Extremely tasty, healthy, and at the same time simple, the dishes are original and quite low-calorie. "Diet to accelerate metabolism" Haley Pomeroy receives a variety of reviews: from enthusiastic and grateful, to calling her a "stupid book."
A practical guide for people who want to lose weight can be both instructive and completely unnecessary. Unlike most scientific works on dietetics , the Hayley Pomeroy nutrition system implies the following "secrets": people don’t get fat from desserts; to reduce weight, it is not necessary to adhere to a negative energy balance (that is, a deficit of incoming calories compared to energy costs); and also calls an erring person who restricts himself to food for weight loss. The words that now you do not need to count calories, spend a lot of time and effort in fitness centers, and also refuse desserts, while losing 10 to 14 kg in 4 weeks, are pleasant for any full person. The only minus supporters of "lazy" weight loss consider a combination of diet and daily performance of various exercises.
The essence of the program
"Diet to accelerate metabolism" by Haley Pomeroy, reviews of which many girls perceive as an example to follow, lasts 28 days (4 weeks). The first week is usually divided into 3 stages. The task of the initial stage is to calm the work of the adrenal glands, relieve nervous tension (stress). The second is to build muscle and remove blockage from the fat depot. The third is to normalize hormonal levels, heart function and heat metabolism. The duration of these intervals: two days plus two, in the final - three days. The second week is aimed at overcoming negative feelings: guilt, stress and fear.
During this period, the author of the methodology advises to get carried away, not rejecting physical, but also spiritual food. Even if the weight loss process stops, you should not panic, you need to continue to give preference to the recommended products for the menu of the first week. In the third week, the diet will become more sparing, but you can’t return to the usual dishes that made up a person’s diet before losing weight. Acceleration
of metabolism, according to the author of the system, occurs due to the restoration of the organs of the endocrine system: the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and liver. The fourth week was marked by Haley Pomeroy as the last stage, accelerating the metabolism. It is upon its completion that the author guarantees maximum
weight loss. Rapid metabolism is becoming a constant companion of a
thin person, according to Haley Pomroy. Diet, reviews, telling about the real experience of people, alarms and specialists. They reveal the secret of why there is no need to count calories. Small portions play an important role in this food system. And daily training leads to the very modest result that most people who believe in the system get. An impressive weight loss by this technique can only boast of obese people with "American" obesity. For such dietitian patients, this nutritional system with its diet of 1400 kcal can be a panacea.

"Diet to speed up metabolism" Pomeroy Hayley
The reviews of most dietitians about this book are negative. The author’s promises to restore metabolism in 28 days so that everyone can eat everything and not gain weight, they are surprised.
Even bodybuilders and elite sports gymnasts, ballerinas and top models are forced to count every calorie, allow themselves dessert only in exceptional cases, and their sports loads exceed the workouts of any athlete many times over. Of the pros, experts note the convenience of the lack of a visible calorie count; nurturing habits fractionally and on time to eat; satiety diet - no need to experience hunger (however, discomfort is possible due to the abundance of carbohydrates in the first phase, and then their abrupt cancellation); the high content of protein products in the diet will provide good muscle activity in everyday worries. Diet teaches the body to understand the rule: "You eat to live, but not live to eat."
Reviews of losing weight
Despite criticism from experts, the Haley Pomeroy diet is quite popular among weight loss experimenters. You can learn from people on the forums that some people don’t like complex rules, while others don’t like modest results or their complete absence.

Output
The use of the Haley Pomeroy diet is difficult for many users. Anyone who leads an active lifestyle, this calorie-poor diet is not suitable: it causes weakness and loss of strength.
Most experts consider the canons of diet and restrictions far-fetched, and therefore do not recommend reading or using this near-scientific work. The Haley Pomeroy diet helped to lose weight only in rare cases, and even then only to those people who upgraded it to the rules of
fractional nutrition and regularly went in for sports.
