Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith, a powerful six-week plan to burn fat more efficiently by improving metabolic flexibility.

The human body has the amazing ability to switch which fuels it uses for energy based on what fuel is available at the time—researchers call this metabolic flexibility. Bodies that are able to make this switch can burn sugars, proteins, and other food nutrients when available, and then switch to burning the body’s fat storage or fatty acids when food calories are not available. It turns out that losing weight is not just about burning calories, it’s also about switching between these pathways as efficiently as possible. Yet little has been written about how to achieve metabolic flexibility—until now.

Dr. Ian K. Smith is a renowned medical expert and the author of numerous bestselling health books. In The Met Flex Diet, he offers a one-of-a-kind plan to improve metabolic flexibility through changing the types and quantities of food/beverages consumed, as well as the type of exercise. Timing is also a factor—timing of meals and timing of exercise relative to when the meals are consumed. All of these variables will play an important role in helping the body make the important switch from one fuel source to another.

In just six weeks, listeners can experience amazing fat-burning results by following simple guidelines, like:

• Eat the first meal of the day three hours after waking.
• Complete a fasted cardio workout within the first two hours of waking.
• Get at least seven hours of sleep a night.
• Finish dinner two hours before going to sleep.

Complete with meal and exercise plans, as well as recipes, The Met Flex Diet gives listeners every tool they need to meet their weight loss goals.

very very beneficial

the book breaks down the basics and then delves into the how to stage so flawlessly. I recommend it to a few people and plan on doing this as a LIFESTYLE 💪🏿💪🏿

Completely Flawless

I listened to your interview this morning on a radio talk show and purchased the audio book shortly after. I have now listened to it in its entirety and am pretty impressed. it's not just a how to...it's a "let me help you understand so you can learn how to" and that makes all the difference. I drive a truck over the road so I'll have to get creative with the exercise but I'm going to give it my all and follow your book to a T. Thank you for helping me understand how to.

Interesting ideas

Dr. Smith compiles interesting information and presents a new method for six week weight loss. His scientific explanations about digestion and diet are really interesting.

Boring

This book has a printable that costs and I returned the book he talks so rough can’t listen returned the book

Keeps repeating same thing over and over again!

I did not like this book- each chapter he keeps repeating the same thing over and over- and it’s not a diet that would be easy to maintain and not sustainable in my personal opinion.
