F-Factor Diet

Find out how fibre plays a role in weight loss

Review of the F-Factor Diet. For many people the lack of fibre in many diet programs is the cause of their lack of success. Fibre gives the body that feeling of being full and without it you may feel tired and fatigued.

By adding these essential ingredients back into the diet, what was once a failure became a success. I was one of those many dieters who become tired of low carbohydrate diets that promised me a new body and did nothing but make me tired all of the time.

The F-Factor Diet includes about 1,100 calories daily which may need to be increased for those who are used to eating more than that. The real problem I did see is that during the first two weeks it requires a certain type of fibre, namely Fibre One Cereal and fibre crackers.

For those who are unable to consume a great deal of fibre, this diet will not work for you. For the majority of people the F-Factor Diet will provide the nutrition you need and enough fibre to assure that you will not be hungry or tired throughout your weight loss program.

When I discovered this diet I had been struggling for about five years to lose twenty five pounds. I tried every diet possible and never seemed to achieve long-term success for one reason or the other but most often because the diets were so restrictive that I became bored or had so few calories I lost my energy.

Finding this diet was a miracle though at first I had my doubts as well. I read the book but still found it difficult to believe any diet could help me lose weight without making me hungry and feeling tired. I was pleasantly surprised to discover I was able to maintain my energy level and lose weight at the same time.

After a couple of weeks on the F Factor diet I started developing an exercise program for myself. I had never been able to do that with any other diet program because I had no energy left to do any more than clean my house and even that took me a long time to do.

In fact, this diet helped me regain the strength I had lost because of the excess weight I was carrying. I used the extra energy to take walks with my husband and children as part of my exercise program. I found I could combine family time with my exercise program—we even started bicycling together again.

It took almost four months for me to lose the twenty-five pounds, but I was more interested in changing my lifestyle to keep the weight off than doing it quickly. That was eight months ago and today I am still eating healthy, exercising, and maintaining the twenty-five pound weight loss.

Of course, there are times when the weight tries to creep back on, but I closely monitor it now and go back on the diet before it gets out of control. I enjoy being able to choose clothes in a smaller size, and my family enjoys me joining in more family activities.
