The 5 Factor Diet:

Was originally created for celebrities. Harley was challenged to create brief (yet incredibly effective) workouts for actors, while training them during their short breaks on movie sets. In addition, he needed to create healthy meals in a matter of minutes (literally), using simple ingredients (the fewer the better) that could fit in the mini fridge on a set. Oh, and did we mention that he was relying on a blender and toaster oven for the mixing, blending, and cooking? Harley’s clients were eating five times a day, cutting the length of their workouts, and transforming their bodies! As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. For more information, please visit the official 5 Factor Diet website.

How the 5 Factor Diet works:

This is referred too as the “Online Factor“: Harley has taken his celebrity-approved diet, and turned it into an interactive and customized online program. Studies show that people who participate in online weight-loss programs lose more weight than those who go it alone. The 5-Factor Diet Online tools are designed to help you stay motivated, feel in control, and track your progress. (Want to Lose Weight Fast? Celebrities’ top weight loss weapon. Get your custom plan.

The Workout:

The 5-Factor Diet is a simple, practical plan based on sound science: Eat a variety of foods in appropriate amounts, exercise regularly, and you’ll lose weight, be healthy and get most of the nutrients you need from food!

The Mental Block:

While there’s no shortage of celebrity testimonies in the book, among the “real people” criticisms noted on book review sites was the inconvenience of eating five times a day essentially every three to four hours. I noted that it can be difficult to gain access to the snacks and meals the plan recommends, particularly for people who work outside the home.

While it may be healthy to snack on the suggested smoked salmon mousse or roasted asparagus tips with turkey, these foods are expensive, and not readily available in the workplace cafeteria or vending machine per as they shouldn’t.

To resolve the inconvenience of eating three to four hours a day, especially those who work in an office Harley Pasternak created a meal delivery system that provides delicious, fresh 5-Factor meals, tailored to your tastes and delivered to your door by 7 a.m. daily. This is not your typical diet food! Get ready to indulge in mouthwatering classic dishes like French toast, spaghetti with meatballs, and pizza. Or if you’re in the mood for something more adventurous, how about curried chicken, seafood seviche, or a tasty chicken parmigiana? All the meals will be prepared from Harley’s recipes and according to the principles of the 5- Factor diet, so they’ll include:

• Delicious, satisfying ingredients
• Low- fat proteins
• Healthy carbohydrates
• High quality, filling fiber
• Healthy fats
• Sugar-free beverages

The Result:

I completely recommend the 5 Factor Diet as my number 1 choice overall! All you have to do is master the unspoken rules like — smaller portions, fewer calories, and appetite control — for life. The only real drawback (I’m being sarcastic here) to the 5 Factor Diet is that Harley Pastenak presents this as a five-week plan. In fact, it is really a lifelong plan for a healthy lifestyle.

   This is a great book. Although it’s very simple, it touches the most important and basic factors of healthy weight loss diet.

   This sounds exactly like a lifestyle to me. It just teaches people how to eat healthy. I have always allowed myself a “cheat” day. As long as you truly want to lose weight, maintain weight or just simply stay healthy one cheat day per week won’t hurt you. I think it actually helps you because you are allowing yourself to eat some of the foods you love. Also, as long as you are knowledgable about what foods you eat and you eat healthy portions with a good exercise routine you will be healthy!!! The key is how bad you want it and not letting anything get in your way!!!

   I started eating whatever I wanted and I’ve lost weight. I think its because when I eat what I want I fill up faster and I don’t feel bad that I “failed” at a diet. Its just better. I’ve actually lost weight (16 pounds) in about a year… I was eating fried cheesecake and basically working out a few times a week.

   Josh – I did this diet six months ago and it was abslolutely awesome- I lost 30 LBS in about a month and a 1/2 without doing anything else. I recommended this to all my friends and I am going to show them your blog too. I want them to lose weight like I did. They try and it’s too hard to do it without a great diet program. I tried forever. Now I’m skinny and happy!!
