I used to see these infomercials all the time and curious if anyone ever tried it and if it works or bogus.

Yes, I have. And, it really works. My husband

lost 12 pds. the first week and I lost 10 pds.

The only problem -- although I love to eat --

you must eat 6-8 small meals each day. We

were actually tired of eating. It really works.

And, the workout is awesome! Good luck --

well worth the money.

Hello everyone -- I am new to the website.

I am awaiting the health plans approval for

the Realty Band. I had my consultation on

9/26/08 -- and, have completed all the reviews and tests. Now, I guess I wait.

It is such a long process. I can't wait to start posting my progress and sharing information with all of you. Feel free to give me pointers. I would appreciate any advise you're willing to share.

I did the 6WBM a few years ago. Its effective but the food was bland. It eliminates salt and sugar from your diet. I lost 22 pounds the first month but as soon as I added a little salt, the weight came back. Most of the loss is from cutting fried foods and again, sodium. I don't eat a lot of sodium but after a few months, I incorporated some low sodium products back into my diet and slowly began to gain. The inch loss is very recognizable within the first 2 weeks.

You have to plan your meals because you can't use any frozen foods. Everything has to be prepared fresh to avoid the preservatives. Now it helps if you cook a lot and store each of your meals in little Glad lock containers but you do have to eat at least 6 small meals/snacks per day.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

I felt like it was bogus for me. With my weight and eating habits, it had me needing to eat fish almost all the time. I HATE fish and seafood. I tried to redo it and use chicken, but didn't work for me.:smile:

Hi, I agree with you. My husband and I have the diet system and although we lost, the amount of fresh food you have to buy and prepare was a bit over the top for us. I understand it needing to be fresh, but when you are busy it's a little hard to prepare and on the wallet.

I used to work for the original owner shortly after it opened in Santa Monica, before the system was an " on infomercial". It was a diet and exercise program. Now, it's less work and more profit for investors to promote just the diet part.

What you have to remember is this: It's a quick Makeover where you pull out all the stops to drop weight quickly. Like the show Biggest Loser, it's not a way to live! You will gain weight back after you stop unless you adopt healthy habits to counter that.

How do you know you are living a healthy, balanced life? When your weight stabilizes at a level you can maintain and even be proud of, while eating a balanced diet and exercising.

If your weight increases, you're no longer balanced. You might be eating too many carbs or sugar, which stimulates your appetite center and makes you crave more food than you need. You need to exercise, move more, and walk more. Eat at least 120g of protein daily (ideally 1g per target weight) and get used to eating 30-40g of carbs per meal—no more! The rest should come from vegetables. Eliminate regular juices and soft drinks; diet drinks are okay (unsweetened is best, like water or tea). If you still gain weight, slowly reduce your calories— in other words, eat a little less!
Looking ahead, on days when you go out or overindulge, try to move for an hour either moderately before or after, or vigorously for 15-30 minutes.

If that doesn’t help, you should see a doctor and get professional help. Don't waste your time, effort, and money, you simply need professional help, it's not your fault.
