{"product_id":"2940012386250","title":"6 Absolute Truths about the 5 - Factor Diet","description":"Here are few paragraphs from the book,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 5 Factor diet is built around the glycemic index. If you’re unfamiliar with the glycemic index, it is basically a way for us to tell which foods have the most damaging effect on our blood sugar when we consume them. Scientists and nutritionists believe that foods with a severe impact on the GI cause us to gain weight more rapidly, due to changing spikes in our hunger levels and slower metabolization of the calories themselves. The diet advocates a daily plan of five meals per day, with each meal made up of five components (the “5\" in the 5 Factor Diet). These components are a lean protein, a complex carbohydrate, fiber, a good fat, and a sugar free drink. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the call for five daily meals made up of those five components, Pasternak places great emphasis on the importance of exercise in the diet plan. This in itself, it must be said, sets it apart from many similar diet plans, and is a refreshing change of pace. So many diet books concentrate exclusively on the eating portion of the plan, and treat exercise as an afterthought. Of course, there is good reason for this from a marketing standpoint. It has been shown time and again that the only thing Americans loathe more than dieting, it’s exercise. Come out with a diet plan that eschews (or at least downplays the importance of) exercise, and you have a much better chance of success (even if the dieter themselves does not).","brand":"MyAppBuilder.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166981472496,"sku":"2940012386250","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012386250_p0.jpg?v=1763568171","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012386250","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
