The F-Factor Diet Review – Can It Help With Weight Loss?

F-Factor Diet Review Introduction

This is a review, click now to get the F-Factor Diet.

One of the most popular diets that you may have never heard of is the F-Factor Diet.

Created by a registered dietitian by the name of Tanya Zuckerbrot, it includes a meal plan, food line and other products associated with its brand.  The original book came out way back in 2006.  f-factor diet review

The “F” in the title is there for a reason; it stands for the nutrient fiber which many people around the world struggle to get enough of.  Fiber is the carbs found in plant-based foods that are indigestible.  It works to keep your digestive system working properly and flushing out toxins.

So, you may have guessed then that the F-Factor diet is centered around high fiber foods, complex carbohydrates, and lean protein.

Not a bad idea.

One thing that makes this a popular option for those seeking weight loss success is the emphasis on flexibility and the lack of restrictions when it comes to dining out or having a beer or two.

Zuckerbrot makes the claim that her diet will work for not only weight loss but will increase energy levels, improve skin and hair appearance, and reduce the risk of several types of cancers.

In my eyes, this should actually be classified as a low-carb diet similar to The Zone Diet.

What Can I Eat On The F-Factor Diet?

As stated above, this eating plan puts an emphasis on eating complex carbs rather than simple.  Carbs should consist of fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.  You will be eliminating sugar, processed foods, and refined grains. healthy food picture

The F-Factor Diet shoots for 3 meals a day along with 1 snack.  The goal here is to keep you from feeling hungry and deprived by giving you high-fiber foods (that are also low calorie) allowing you to lose weight without starving yourself.
