The Metabooster Fat Burning Diet claims to help you lose up to 12 lbs. in only two weeks. The company also promises to help you lose belly fat through the consumption of certain Metabooster Diet foods. You buy a copy of the diet guidelines online and follow the program on your own or under your doctor's supervision.
Identification
The Metabooster Fat Burning Diet is a weight-loss program that claims to teach you how to boost your metabolism and eat more food than you do now, yet still lose weight. You participate in the diet by buying the company's downloadable eBook and suggested weight-loss supplement.
Theories
You lose weight on the Metabooster Diet through consuming lean proteins, healthy fats and low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates, according to the diet's website. The glycemic index is a system that ranks foods according to how fast the sugars in the foods are released into your bloodstream. High-GI foods, such as bread, potatoes and rice, cause a rapid rise in your blood sugar. This quick release also results in increased insulin levels, which can make you feel hungry again shortly after you eat. However, if you eat low-GI foods, such as beans, vegetables, and fruits, your blood sugar remains level, and you feel fuller longer.
The Metabooster Diet is a high-protein diet that promises to help you choose the right carbohydrates to lose weight and maintain your weight loss. However, the company also recommends that you take green tea extract to assist your weight-loss attempts. Green tea extract is an appetite suppressant sold in capsule form.
Methodology
After you buy the Metabooster Fat Burning Diet eBook, you prepare your own foods using the recipes provided in the book. You also take 1,000 mg of green tea extract per day and drink 2 liters of water during the day to remain hydrated.
Expert Insight
The Community Medicine Research Center at National Yang-Ming University in Taipei, Taiwan, conducted a study from July 2006 to June 2007 to determine the effects of green tea extract on obese people under head researcher C.H. Hsu. Seventy-eight obese women consumed either green tea extract or a cellulose placebo every day of the year-long study. At the end of the study, the researchers found no statistical difference in body weight between the women who took the green tea extract and the women who took the placebo, as published in the June 2008 issue of "Clinical Nutrition."
Warning
Speak with your doctor before you take green tea extract supplements. Green tea extract can negatively interact with prescription and over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, clozapine and lithium.
