The latest hot diet in Hollywood is the Five Factor Diet. The diet was designed by celeb trainer Harley Pasternak, who has worked with Halle Berry and Orlando Bloom. The Five Factor Diet can help you drop unwanted pounds.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Eat 5 small meals a day. You should eat throughout the day to avoid overeating at three set mealtimes.
Step2
Add low fat protein to each of your meals. The basic protein in each of your meals should be some type of chicken, fish or turkey.
Step3
Include whole grain carbohydrates in your menu. The Five Factor Diet is not a carbohydrate-free eating plan. You should add complex carbohydrates to each meal.
Step4
Consume a lot of fiber. You get a lot of your fiber requirements from the whole grain breads, fruits and vegetables that you eat while following the Five Factor Diet.
Step5
Substitute healthy fats for oils and butter. Replace the traditional fats that you use to cook your meals with healthier options such as olive oil.
Step6
Eliminate the sugar from your diet. People traditionally overindulge in sugars by drinking high sugar beverages, such as regular soda. Opt for a sugar-free drink at meals instead.

Tips & Warnings

  • There is also a Five Factor Exercise Plan that should be included in your diet. There are 5 exercises of 5 minutes each. Follow the regimen 5 days a week.
  • The recipes included in the Five Factor Diet take less than 5 minutes and involve 5 ingredients or less.
