F-Factor is a brand of diet plan created by Registered Dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot. It includes a diet plan, F-Factor branded food line, books, and other products. The diet plan focuses on consumption of lean proteins and high-fiber carbohydrates.
History
The F-Factor brand was created by New York dietitian and author Tanya Zuckerbrot.[1] She developed the plan after gaining 24 pounds and deciding to start eating like she was teaching her clients. Her diet consisted of high-fiber carbs and lean protein which became the base for The F-Factor Diet plan.[2] In 2006, she released the book The F-Factor Diet which outlined the diet plan, and expanded her private practice in New York a year later.[3]
In 2011, F-Factor foods began being served in restaurants.[2] The F-Factor Diet was endorsed by Megyn Kelly in her 2016 autobiography Settle for More, saying she used it after giving birth to take off the baby weight gain.[4]
Overview
The F-Factor Diet incorporates four principles which include eating fiber-rich carbohydrates, dining out, social drinking, and working out less.[5] It advocates using lean proteins with high-fiber carbohydrates.[6] The plan focuses on curbing the feelings of hunger and deprivation commonly associated with with dieting. The "F" stands for fiber which is a non-digestible part of carbohydrates and helps people feel full. The F-Factor Diet does not require users to cut out fat, carbs, or alcohol.[6]
F-Factor also provides nutritional counseling services to users including in-office, mobile app, and phone consults. It also has its own brand of food and recipes.[7] In 2018, it launched its own line of all-natural fiber-rich products.[8]
