What is the 5 Factor Diet

The 5 Factor Diet, by Harley Pasternak, is based around the factor 5:

• 5 meals a day
• 5 ‘Fat-loss’ keys and
• 5 Criteria for each of 5 meals per day.

The principles outlined are:

1.Eat 5 meals daily.
2.Follow the 5 criteria for each meal.
3.Spend 5 minutes in preparation for each meal, using only 5 ingredients.
4.Workout 25 minutes 5 days a week for 5 weeks.
5.Indulge in a weekly ‘cheat’ day.

There are 5 ‘Fat-loss’ keys:
1.Metabolism — faster metabolism burns more calories, hence less fat.
2.Exercise — stay in the fat-burning zone and build lean muscle.
3.Right calories — consume foods with the right kind and amount of calories.
4.Glycemic Index — low-GI foods keep blood-sugar levels steady.
5.Rest and recovery — promote growth hormone for muscle condition, and reduce cortisol (’stress’ hormone).

And there are 5 Criteria for each of 5 meals per day
1.Low-fat, quality protein
2.Low-GI carbohydrate
3.Fiber
4.Healthy fat
5.Sugar-free beverage
Sundays are considered a ‘cheat day’ – eat what you like, while sticking to the 5-meals principle.
