has anyone ever tried the Michael Thurmond 6 week body makeover plan?

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.
