THE BURN is not a typical diet plan book. Instead, it’s a book for people who have plenty of willpower, but for some reason their body is stuck at a certain number. Haylie stresses that when you hit a plateau in weight loss, it most likely has nothing whatsoever to do with your will power, or some type of weakness. Instead, it’s about biochemistry. She explains, “Stalled weight loss, especially under conditions where you are giving your body everything it needs to lose weight, is a sign that something has gone wrong in the system.”

First off, the author has you take a little survey to figure out what your specific biochemical problem is. Towards that end, Chapter 2 is dedicated to figuring out if I (inflammation) is your problem. Similarly Chapter 3 is dedicated to focusing on D (digestive) problems. Chapter 4 takes a look at whether H (hormonal issues) might be causing your plateau.

Once you figure out where you should concentrate your efforts, the second part of the book provides the specific burn plans customized just for your specific issue. You will use one of three different “Burn” plans that best fits you: I-Burn, D-Burn, or H-Burn. So, the idea is to figure out what has gone wrong in your biochemistry, then seize upon a plan that specifically addresses your unique issue.

For each of the three “Burn” strategies, Haylie first includes an overview on what you can expect for this plan, and then she describes the type of food that you will eat. After this introductory material, she provides a specific day by day plan. For each day there is a shaded chart that summarizes in a clear fashion what you’re going to do. Haylie also includes a chart of food portions, as well as a grocery list of items that match your specific burn plan.

I have not completed the program yet, but will update as I go.

This book is essentially 3 detoxes meant to help dieters get through plateaus and also to optimize health. The author advises you choose which plan based on either your weight loss goals, how much time you have, or which health issues you want to work on. I decided I’d probably try all three. I’ll also add that the plans all look appropriate for vegans, vegeterian and people avoiding gluten or other food allergies. It is, however, not low carb as its a lot of fruits and vegetables. Each plan has you start the day with a smoothie and then two bowls of soup, three glasses of a special tea, and of course lunch and dinner.

The three day I-Burn is supposed to target inflamation and water retention in the body, and help you lose up to 3lbs. I found Pomroys writings very inspirational, but even still I felt overwhelmed just writing the grocery list. There is an enormous amount of produce to be purchased, from the common (celery) to the unusual (daikon). I ended up paying $96 in groceries for 3 days worth of food! After starting the plan, I realize a lot is waste as she has you make twice as much of the “burn soup” for no apparent reason. I will say that after completing day 1, I’m not sure how I feel about it. The food is not very satisfying, but I understand I’m eating for the nutritional properties. It is also very hard going without dairy, bread, sugar, coffee and alcohol!

Day 2 of the I-Burn. Feeling very unmotivated, I’ve gained a pound and my stomach feels bloated and constipated. I decided to blend a cup of coffee into my smoothie to try and get things moving. This is going against the detox, but I don’t care at this point. I feel like stopping now, but don’t want to waste all that food.
