Who is the 5-Factor diet good for?
People with big appetites - five meals a day should keep grazers happy. Busy people who struggle to fit in a whole gym session.
What are the drawbacks?
If you work full time, you may struggle to fit in five meals a day, even if they are easy to prepare.
What do you do?
People who sign up to the 5-Factor diet will receive hundreds of recipe ideas for each of their five daily meals. Each meal only needs five ingredients and supposedly takes five mins to prepare. You also receive an online weight tracker, a customised fitness plan and daily inspiration emails.
For five weeks, you eat five meals a day plus two snacks and do 25 mins of exercise. Then one day a week, you get to cheat and eat what you like. Pasternak believes that denying yourself your favourite foods will only lead to failure and that controlled cheating will actually help you reach your goals!
Add to this the short bursts of exercise you'll be told to do and you should start shifting those pounds.
