I am a true believer in this program. Both my husband & I have been on it since January of this year, and here are our stats:

Me- 5'8", Started at a size 18W, 272 lbs.

Scott- 5'10", Started at a size 38, 228 lbs.

NOW:

Me: Size 14, 221 lbs (YES!!!)

Scott: Size 33, 194 lbs

We did 6 weeks EXACTLY with the food, water, and him the exercise.

We do not COOK 5 times a day- we cook 1-2 times a week, portion it out, and have the food READY for us to put together & heat up.

We are both foodies, I abhor bland food. We have a full shelf & a half full of all kinds of nifty spices, and lots of Mrs. Dash! We eat chili, 'tacos', lettuce wraps, salad with 2-3 meals a day, shrimp, breakfast sausage, all kinds of fruit, and even dessert every night.

Many comment that the food is bland because there is no salt used. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes and lemon juice will make the best poaced shrimp you have ever had! You need to look at the recipes and experiment, to find the ones you like.

The best thing I found is this: you can tweak it to fit your life! I had a family issue, which caused me to be in & out of town every weekend for almost 2 months. I tried to stick close to the plan- but Turnpike Rest Areas don't have the greatest selections. So I ate close if possible, but then went back on later. I STILL LOST WEIGHT!!! We went on a week's vacation- did not eat on plan, drank the whole darn week, and came home 3 lbs lighter!! Once you rev your metabolism, it takes a bit to grind it to a halt.

Some say it limits vegetables & grains- well, I eat a salad with 3-4 meals a day. I can have a whole list of veggies with every meal if I like. I sometimes find I can't eat the rest of my sweet potatoes or butternut squash at dinner, because I'm full, from all the veggies!

One comment seems to be that the diet is low in certain nutrients- well, I
have 2 things to say about that!

#1- Michael Thurmand EXPRESSLY STATES that he recommends you take a high quality multi vitamin!!

#2- You can eat UNLIMITED amounts of a whole list of veggies- and on that list is almost EVERY color you could imagine (meaning, you can get most of you vitamins & minerals that you need from veggies from the FREE FOODS LIST!!)

I now HATE Chicken & Turkey too! (I never much liked either in the first place though!) However- I will be a size 12 (or dare I say 10!!) at my sisters wedding- I was a 16w at my own 4 years ago- so I'm pumped!

I could put so much more down, but I will leave it at this! Smile

I bought the program 9/05 and I absolutely love it. I dropped weight quicky, I have tons of energy. To me, it wasn't hard at all. I think each person has to find what works for them, but this is definitely my key program to a slim, fit, healthy body.

I was given this by a friend who did not commit to it. It was given to her by a freind who did not commit to it. I have had it for over 2 years and am now just starting it. I made a lot of excuses and am on board now.
I don't know if I am missing things or did not retain what I read.

Can somebody tell me about the free foods section for Body type A?

Can I stard using the marinades they suggest during the 6 day plan or do I have to wait until the 6 week plan starts?

I am eating chicken and Tilapia. It is hard for me to find Tuna reasonably priced. The canned tuna has sodium. Is this a problem?

Do I avoid all sodium, or is there a guideline? For example, mustard has 10 grams I think, of sodiium. Do I avoid that?

Can I eat popcorn as a snack if it is not popped in oil or tiopped with butter or salt?

Thankyou in advance,

Jason

My husband has been on the plan for 4 weeks now he lost weight from the first week. His pants are falling off without a belt. My husband was so big we had no weight measurement. I carefully prepare his food exactly in the manner in which it is descibed using alot of fresh seasonings and herbs. I measure out 3-4 oz. of food a cup of rice 4 oz. veg etc. He is full on the plan doesn't miss the salt, and has more energy. It works. P.S ALL HE HAS DONE IS EAT NO EXERCISE! this is not a lie. I hope that it works for others willing to make the commitment because it is a commitment to better eating and eating foods grouped diffrently.

If you state it did not work for you. Then did you get your money back or are you selling the program. I need a program and would love to try it but can not afford it. If you are selling it at a discount please contact me.

This diet is not a scam. Very Happy

I believe the price I paid for my kit was well worth it, relative to other diet programs. After purchasing the kit, I needn't pay anything more. I have what I need to make it work. I don't have to pay for prepackaged food, drugs, ongoing support, etc. I think this program is wonderful at educating a person as to true portion sizes and how the body works at burning or storing caloric intake. For complaints about bland diet or lack of fiber, I must say that those people have made poor choices within the plan. For those people considering this diet plan, I say go for it, just remember the kit comes without a *magic weight loss pill*, it is all about the effort. Feel free to e-mail me if you would like a personal response. justagrl@gmail.com

I just got my diet in the mail a couple of weeks ago. At first I didn't think I could do it, but after starting it I lost 4 pounds the first week. The biggest surprise for me was that I cheated A LOT the first week and was still able to lose the weight. I really want to succeed on this diet, so I've cut out the cheating and am on my way to losing weight. So YES, this diet does work, you just have to stay with it. IT'S NOT A SCAM!

I guess Im one of the few that this diet worked for. Not only have I lost 25 pounds in about 2 months, this diet has also helped me to control my A.D.D. I think this is a great diet. I have only tried the 6-day body makeover, but it is working great for me. Very Happy
