HARLEY PASTERNAK
THE 5 FACTOR DIET
5 MEALS A DAY, 5 INGREDIENTS PER RECIPE, 5 MINUTE PREP TIME
by Harley Pasternak
What do Alicia Keyes, Orlando Bloom, Kanye West, and Jane Fonda have in common? Each of these fabulously fit celebrities—not to mention a long list of other Hollywood luminaries—has trained with renowned nutrition and fitness expert Harley Pasternak. Harley’s revolutionary 5-Factor Fitness and 5-Factor Diet programs have helped them achieve remarkable results, and now, with the publication of The 5-Factor Diet (Meredith Books, January 2007, $24.95 hardcover), readers will benefit from Harley’s expertise, as well.
We all have horror stories of failed diets; of money wasted on expensive prepared meals and of food scales gathering dust on our kitchen counters. We’ve deprived ourselves of healthy grains, fruits, and vegetables for the sake of a diet, only to find ourselves dissatisfied and ultimately, heavier. In a time of extreme diets, Harley Pasternak is the voice of reason. Building on the phenomenal success of his #1 bestselling 5-Factor Fitness, The 5-Factor Diet is a comprehensive plan we can easily incorporate into our lives, with none of the calorie-counting, elaborate food preparation, or frustrating restrictions that can sabotage our best dieting intentions.
With a Master of Science in the field of Exercise Physiology and Nutritional Sciences, Harley is all too familiar with the pitfalls of fad diets. The 5 Factor Diet is a simple, yet extraordinarily effective lifestyle program that delivers dramatic results and can also be easily sustained long-term. Harley has done all the work for us, carefully calibrating restaurant-worthy recipes that can be prepared in less than five minutes using no more than five ingredients. While we enjoy such treats as French Toast with Ricotta, Smoked Salmon Mousse with Crackers, and Espresso Panna Cotta, Harley insures we eat foods in the five categories that are integral to his program and essential to healthy weight loss: proteins, low-glycemic carbohydrates, fiber, healthy fats, and beverages. By eating five times a day as part of the plan, we maintain our blood sugar level, control our portions, and keep our bodies going strong throughout the day.
I hope you will take this opportunity to schedule an interview with Harley Pasternak so he can help your audience stick to their New Year’s diet resolutions. Passionate about fitness, eloquent, and empathetic, Harley is an excellent interview subject. Among the topics he can address are:
· Why low-carb diets don’t work long-term
· How his background in nutrition, biochemistry, metabolism, and physiology gives Harley an edge over other trainers
· Why he feels comfortable making the bold statement that 5-Factor Diet is the last diet book anyone will ever need
· How we can indulge in our guilty pleasures on Harley’s designated Cheat Day and still lose weight!
· Plus tips for eating out healthfully, safely navigating the supermarket without succumbing to temptation, distinguishing good carbs from bad carbs and much more.
I’ll call you soon to discuss an interview with Harley Pasternak.
