There are a few drawbacks, but they are definitely not reasons to avoid the 5 Factor diet. They include:
– Those of us who are not celebrities probably won’t have access to a personal chef, but meal planning ahead of time will aid in helping find the time to prepare 5 meals a day.
– Most people also don’t have access to a personal trainer and can’t visit Harley for a personal training session.
The plan lasts for, you guessed it, five weeks. After that time, participants have a grasp of the principles of the plan and hopefully have lost their cravings for high calorie and high fat and sugar content foods.
The cheat day helps dieters to stay committed to the plan during the five week period, and so it does not seem as if they are so deprived.
The biggest problem is, for those of us who are time challenged and not fit, getting into a 5 times a day exercise routine.
Also, the motivation is an issue. Yes, it lasts 5 weeks, which can seem like a lifetime for some people. Then, what do you do to keep the weight off?
So by all means try the 5 Factor if you need fast weight loss for a special occasion, but as a sustainable lifestyle for the long term, it is just not practical.
