[.ca] 6 Day Body Makeover: Drop One Whole Dress or Pant Size ... (ISBN 0446577855)

Challenging to stick with but it seems to work...:
My husband and I did this diet together. We went into it all gung-ho and determined that this would be the diet to "fix" our metabolisms and get us on track towards a new, healthy lifestyle. Well, the diet is very challenging to stick to. My husband, in particular, had a hard time with it because he was having to eat so much food. The portion sizes for men are double the amount for women. We both found the food choice very limited (there's a reason they don't recommend you stay on this diet for more than 6 days!!). We tried almost all the recipes in the book (we even spent over $\o...\con spices from the shopping list in the book) but most of the foods we only ate because we had to. There was really nothing enjoyable about any of it. The highlight of the day was having the fresh berries. Do you know how strange it feels to be eating chicken and greens at 10:00 in the morning? Well, yesterday was day 4 and we were both feeling really discouraged and decided we couldn't live on this diet anymore. The food prep time alone was crazy. This is not a diet where you can just throw together your meals for the day on your way out the door to work. Plus the challenge of finding foods without sodium. I don't know where the author shops but the regular grocery store doesn't have alot of options for "sodium free" diets. Reduced sodium, yes. Sodium free, no. So I stood on the scale this morning to see how I did having only completed 2/3 of the plan. I lost 7 pounds in four days and two inches off my waist (I didn't measure anywhere else before I started the diet). So, does it work? Apparently so. Would I recommend it? Yes - if you're very dedicated and can devote alot of time to cooking and food preparation AND you don't mind eating the same, bland food over and over again. I did learn alot about balancing my foods and I'll continue to eat 6 times a day and try not to eat too much sodium in my diet. But I don't think I'd ever do this exact diet plan again.

Love it!:
I can't believe I went down 1 size in 6 days AND liked the food! I love chicken, rice, salad and I berries, so this was a no brainer for me! I bought mixed berries, put them in my magic bullet, with ice and cold water and made a berry icey! I love this program! Thank you Michael Thurmond! I'm looking forward to the entire program and getting down to a size 10 by Christmas!
