The 5 Factor Diet was written by Harley Pasternak, a fitness trainer.  Harley is known for his fitness training of celebrities.  

How Does It Work?

Pasternak claims that the 5 Factor Diet is not a diet, it is a lifestyle.  The diet is based on the number FIVE,  five meals at five minutes prep time each, and five segments of five minute exercises five times per week.  The premise is that five meals per day will keep you satisfied, help you to maintain a stable and low blood sugar level, give you energy all day, and help your mood.  

The Five Promises:
 
  1. Less time spent in the kitchen
  2. No need for supplements
  3. Never feel hungry
  4. One cheat day per week
  5. The diet works in any situation...travel, eat out, etc.
Your five meals per day are based on five parts.
  1. Fiber
  2. Healthy Fats
  3. Water
  4. Complex carbs
  5. Lean protein
The foods that are included in the 5 Factor diet are low glycemic, which means that they will not create huge spikes in your blood sugar levels.

The 5 Factor 5 Stage Workout

Each stage is 5 minutes in duration (total 25 minutes):

  1. Stage 1: cardio warm-up
  2. Stage 2: upper-body strength training
  3. Stage 3: lower-body strength training
  4. Stage 4: core exercises that include a variety of crunches and twists
  5. Stage 5: fat-burning cardio work

A 5 Factor Diet Meal Sample

MEAL NAME PROTEIN CARBOHYDRATE
1 Apple-cinnamon oatmeal frittata Egg whites Dries apples
2   Nonfat cottage cheese Apple
3 Curried chicken salad Chicken breast, nonfat yogurt Slice of no-flour bread
4   Veggie salami, nonfat cheese Brown rice cake
5 Lemon salmon Salmon Quinoa, side salad

You can eat anything you want on your once a week 'cheat day', otherwise you need to adhere to the five food group guidelines.  The diet focuses on portion control, lower calories, and appetite control, all important ingredients for weight loss success.

Conclusion:

I consider diets that offer flexibility, such as a cheat day, to be easier to stay on.  The meal preparation simplicity and prep time are also a plus.   You should always see your health care provider before making any decisions that may affect your health.  the higher protein level and the exercise level may present a problem for some folks.  I feel that this diet is worthy of your consideration and give it a thumbs up.

Thank you for reading, My friends, I wish you success on your weight loss journey.

Kind regards,

Why I love the Salvation Army and the Red Cross.

About 30 years ago, I and my family were in a serious flash flood.  A dam broke from rainfall of over 6"in a matter of hours. The water rose about 4 feet ABOVE the height of  the ceiling of our apartment. 

Somehow, almost immediately, the public auditorium was set up as a shelter and filled with beds, linens, towels, clothes and more...thank you Salvation Army. 

In addition, bags loaded with needed toiletries such as tooth paste, tooth brush, razors, shaving cream and so on were available to all of us who were suddenly displaced flood victims.  Thank you Red Cross.

I am still appreciative for such kindness and still shocked at how response was so rapid.  These two causes are the best!
