Crack the Fat-Loss Code

Our Reviewer Says ...

Carbohydrates have been the focus of several diets, and Crack the Fat-Loss Code is no exception. Chant claims macro-patterning, which means alternating between low- and high-carb intake, teaches your body to look beyond carbohydrates for energy. In the end, this apparently resets your body's metabolism. As convincing as that might sound, the macro-patterning philosophy isn't backed by research.

At a Glance

Outsmarting your metabolism and conquering diet plateaus is what the Crack the Fat-Loss Code Diet is all about. Created by Wendy Chant, certified personal trainer and specialist in performance nutrition, the eight-week diet centers around macro-patterning, in which you alternate between "carb-up," "carb-down" and baseline days. Essentially, you're tweaking the number of carbohydrates you feed your body each day so that you can lose 25 pounds in eight weeks.
