Overview of F-Factor Diet

The F-Factor diet, introduced in 2006 by registered dietician Tanya Zuckerbrot, emphasizes consuming high amounts of fiber. The diet challenges traditional weight loss advice by promoting a fiber-rich, carb-inclusive approach. Users are encouraged to prioritize fiber intake, aiming for higher levels than USDA recommendations. Fiber aids in managing blood sugar and promotes regularity. The diet discourages calorie counting, focusing on tracking macronutrients and fiber instead.
