The Fast Metabolism Diet App Reviews

This app made following the Fast metabolism Diet very easy. With the ability to pick and choose your food and determine how much of what to eat, it was a breeze. Perfect pairing of the two!!

The app does not allow you to indicate you are vegetarian and includes no vegetarian meal suggestions. it is possible to turn off the meats but you have to do each individually and there are a lot. Also, the diet itself will have you eating nothing but egg whites for two days a week due to limited veggie protein sources in "phase II".

Im not a diet guy and would have never thought I could make this 4 week commitment. But this will be a breeze because of this app! All the info I need at the tip of my fingers. Not having to carry the book with me everywhere I go, wondering what I can eat and when. Updating my water count and it tells me when Im supposed to eat are big features for me.

I found the app totally inadequate. The information is inconsistent with the book; the food choices are limited; no access to the meal recipes; and tracking my own recipes was almost impossible. I deleted the app. after three days - waste of money - I want a refund.

I cannot find the water tracker. It is not at the bottom of the "My Day" as it states in the notes. The foods available to add in your daily meals is very incomplete. Foods listed in the book are not available to track in your daily food tracker. This app needs a lot of work. I just wasted $3.

This is a great tool to help you plan out meals especially on the fly, when you dont have the book handy. I work nights though and the meal map timing, the way it is set up, is super frustrating! It is always changing the times on me because it doesnt understand my 3pm wake up time and when there is a time error it just wont let you move on! Very annoying but the grocery list and food list sections are godsends when it comes to planning!

If you on fmd this app is must

Wish there were a couple more options, like a search bar for quickly finding an ingredient. Would love if there was an app for the recipes too that I could tap to quickly see how to make on my screen.

The fat quantites are very off - if I key in a recipe from the book - egg and toast with tomato and red onion - all options match the portion size in the recipe but the 1/4 tsp olive oil becomes 3 tbs. If I choose fats - olives - the recommended serving is 1/4 cup approx 5 gram of fat If I choose olive oil the recommendation is 3 TBS about 45 grams of fat - over 900 times as much While the book recommends a high qty of fat this is beyond reasonable or safe given this is for one meal and does not include the fat inherent in eggs or other proteins. If I made this choice for 3 meals - my fat for this one category would be recommened at over 9 tbs - more than 1/2 cup of fat. The snacks also have fat plus the protein choices have fat. I one just follows the book the fat in the sample day plans is substantially less. In fact most recipes in phase 3 have less than a tbs of fat. The food lists are in poor order with peppers under Yellow peppers, Green Peppers, Italian Peppers or Red peppers but nothing under Peppers which is what most people would look for. With no search option it is more difficult than necessary to find items. Also according to the book portion sizes should be increased by 1/2 portion for each 20 lbs being released. If I have 60 lbs to release this actually is calculated as if I have 40 lbs to lose. And according to the book i should have a serviing of 12 oz of fish double the 20 lbs to lose amount of 6 oz. The book gives specific instructions to add 1/2 serving size for every 20 lbs. It is very inconsistent. The concepts in the book

I agree that the app is inconsistent with the book. I am setting my meal plan up to be the same as the book but tHe app asks for items like a fruit to be added on certain that is not included in the books meal plan. I also was unable to add certain meals for phase 3 on the day I wanted. I added a phase specific recipe on the first day of the correct phase but it would not allow me to add it on the next day (leftovers) for the second day of the same phase. Small glitches in the meal planning all throughout which is annoying because in the book it speaks the the importance of sticking to the specific foods for the most effective response. If the phase does not call for fruit for 2 days but the app notifies that it is a required item this is again an inconsistency that needs to be fixed. Its a great idea especially the grocery list but there are a lot of bugs to be worked out yet and it doesnt look like there have been any recent updates to address the problems.

Updated: I like the general concept of this app and use it to cue my choices and prompts me on timing. However, its a bit limited and has some quirks. For example, when adding food to your menu you can add only one fruit or meat per meal or snack. Often I have a variety and am frustrated that I cant record my true intake. You can add multiple vegetables, which I often do. Another limitation is that is assumes you are doing the diet as per the book, and not a modified phase version (as Pomroy suggests you can) or the maintenance "Phase 4". It would be great to be able to continue to use the app once youve "graduated" to maintaining a healthy weight. On the plus side, I like the lists, the ability to adjust your meal time based on when you get up that day (my schedule is erratic) and the integrated grocery list. The app is worth owning but it could be vastly improved with a few tweaks.

This application is well done but unusable if you arent american, because all the quantities are expressed in lb. and not in gr. Please translate the language (and weight unit) of the app as you have already did for the book. Thank you

unit in lb.only!!

Need all measure units first off all!

Please upgrade with kg option

Ok english language but at least convert in kg and meter and gramm thanks

This planing for lose weight really works. The app not so much. Need to convert (and translate) everything.

I was disapponted to see that there is no centimeter or kilo options for the Europeans. Since the book has been translated in many languages it would be nice to have that too!!

This app is helpful if youve already read the book and understand the concept otherwise its not. Also they need to find a way to keep history of food and days so if you have a good day you ca look back and replicate

I do not like this app at all. Its hard to use and is very inflexible. You cannot go directly to your daily food map without scrolling through the week. You cant use half pound for your weight loss You cannot link it to your fitbit. And worst of all, you have to delete everything and start over after the initial diet is finished. Its expensive too. It should be free if youve bought the book. My Fitness Pal is so much better.
