HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim10® - 10 Patented, Proven Ingredients - 1 Pill
Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it. Each of these effective ingredients is standardized so you always get a product you can count on, and they all have not just one, but several clinical studies backing their claims. The Slim 10® customers say it all—check out these enthusiastic postings on the blog. In fact, Slim 10® is on par with the best diet pills around like Nuphedrine® and HoodiaP57®. Nuphedrine is definitely the strongest of the three pills on metabolism boosting, and HoodiaP57 is the best for just pure appetite suppression, but Slim 10® is the most balanced of all of them in terms of a variety of 100% clinically proven and patented ingredients. The truth is, it really just depends on what pill is best for the consumer—some will do better with Nuphedrine, others with HoodiaP57, and of course some with Slim10®.

MiracleBurn®
Miracleburn® is a pretty amazing phenomenon. It has consistently received one of the highest ‘Thumbs Up’ blog ratings on our site. The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available. The maker of Miracleburn® doesn’t spend tens of millions on advertising like alli®, Hydroxycut® or Curvelle to hype their product. They simply let their satisfied customers virtually do the marketing for them. We suggest reading through the postings. The formula consists of a quality form of Hoodia, combined with the patented metabolism booster, Advantra-Z®. It also has several other balancing secondary ingredients. Part of what makes their product such an effective crowd-pleaser is the manufacturing technique and perfect balance of ingredients. Read a full MiracleBurn Review Here.

HoodiaBites
This product is just what it sounds like - chewable Hoodia pieces. The good news is that they actually use a superior quality form of Hoodia, and it works. In fact, this is probably the fastest way to feel Hoodia, because when you eat it, it digests so much quicker. In fact, most customers report that it works in minutes not hours like traditional capsules. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day. This is a good product to use by itself or in conjunction with another diet pill/program. Hoodia Bites are well liked by the customers – the blogs score well. Read a full HoodiaBites Review Here.

Many people turn to the Bible and scripture for spiritual guidance and everyday support. Jordan Rubin, the author of The Maker’s Diet, also found inspiration for his weight loss and wellness plan.

There are three two-week phases, which is enough time to generate weight loss, but not overwhelm the diet. Rubin offers sound nutritional advice that focuses on cleansing the body and overall health. However, the diet also offers advice in other areas of life, such as hygiene, and advises dieters to thoroughly cleanse the face, hands and neck in the morning and evenings.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients. The consumer response has been especially high on this ingredient and products that include it. Read a full Slimaluma Review Here.

tanya: It's been 6 weeks since i started the Six Week Body Makeover.......lets just say it did not live up to its name.

Sheridan: My body did not change after 6 weeks. I liked some of the exercises and the menu is fine, I think it will take about a year for me to get the body I want though. Six Week Body Makeover just was not good for my needs I guess.

FAQuestions12: UH OH....I looked up the Six Week Body Makeover and one of the first things i found were a bunch of complaints and scam warnings. Say no more!

RMAD_08: WaY too much money for me. If I could afford to spend around a $120, I guess I might try the 6 Week Body Makeover, but it is not currently in my budget. I need something more affordable..

lisa: THESE SIX WEEK BODY MAKEOVER PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLE.... EVEN AFTER MY CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGE MONTHLY (WHICH I AGREED TO), I KEPT GETTING COLLECTION NOTICES DEMANDING THE MONEY I ALREDY PAID! I AM STILL GETTIN GHTESE NOTICES THIS IS HARRASSMENT.

moon: i like my body the way i am i just want to have a little less fat that's all

amber: So you defintely lose all of your weight in 6 weeks? But what if you have a lot to lose?? THe SWBM makes it sound like everybody loses weight at the same pace, & I don tknow if that is true.

Chet: Great idea, I would love to have a brand new shape in just 6 weeks. Not sure I could stick with it right now, it seems pretty time consuming. I think I might go with a simpler solution instead of this Six Week body Makeover plan.

Kourtney: IS this the one from ABC's Extreme Makeover?

eden: I actually bought this but haven' t seen a whole lot of change yet, but maybe it is my fault. I like the customized recipes, maybe i need to be a little more strict in taking small portions. Will let you know how it works out.

LEO_49: Well, I think it's working. Ive been on the 6 Week Body Makeover for 11 days and I DO feel some changes so far. I'm getting a little stronger and am really hoping to be "sculpted" in another 4 and half weeks. My main concern is the time factor, it is more time consuming than I expected. But I'm gonna stick with it if I keep feeling progress.

azul36: I think this is a good concept, but i wish i got a little more guidance from the SWBM. For people with a lot of self discipline i bet this is great. But for me it's just not structured enough.

catelynn: What's this "blueprinting" stuff mean? I am confused about the Six Week BOdy Makeover.

Holden: The meals are okay - I believe my diet has improved - but I don't care for the videos on Six Week Body Makeover, I felt like after the first two weeks, the workouts weren't enough. I am in my last week now, I did stick it out, but have not reached my goal.

tabitha: I took the online quiz & it says that I have a sluggish metabolism....but I dont u nderstand how the Six Week BOdy Makeover can help change that. Is there anybody who can tell me that? thx.

Farah: Tried it, not a fan.

Danyelle: You know, one of my friends has been sending me these "Ecards" from the Six Week BOdy Makeover, trying to recruit me i guess, and its starting to really annoy me. Maybe she doesn't mean to be insulting, but she completely is. HOw can you get this kind of stuff blocked from your email?

Sully: 5 Factor Diet has been a good one for me, i like the plan , because well lets just say I LOST 14 lbs the first 5 weeks, and have continued to lose (6 lbs more in the last 2 weeks) !!!!! I signed up here 5factor.com/offer glad I did.

Gemma: yeah, the reason why ur friend is sending u e-cards from SWBM is bcs when she does they enter her into some sort of drawing for prizes & stuff. so don't be insulted its not really about u, she just wants to win stuff.

katie: Hmm....say well what if you lose the weight in less time than 6 weeks while you are on the SIx Week Body Makeover? Do you get some money back?

Julie: Oh, hey, I didn't know there was a 5 week program...well, i would definitely rather do that than 6 !! I 'm gonna look into that 5 Factor diet, thanx for the great tip! Julie

Ginnie: My mama always told me I was "unique" and I grew up thinking that my body had special needs different than anyone elses. When I heard about the 6 Week Body Makeover I was sure that this was what she meant, and that this was the diet that would help me. But after six weeks, I am still fat, and there's nothing unique about that. It was really no different than any other diet plan I've tried. I don't know if anything will ever work for me.

christian: Well I was excited about the Six Week Body Makeover until i saw how many books ur supposed to read as part of it. I dont liek reading and it seems like there is a LOT of "requried reading" on that diet. no, thanks. not for me.

Matteo: It was good for me that 6 Week Body Makeover had live phone support. I struggled a lot on this diet and made quite a few calls. I was able to get through the six weeeks without quitting, even though the weight loss was moderate. It felt good just to finish something for once. I just finished yesterday, I'm just really hoping I don't get billed for all those calls.

LaLoma: The "body sculpting band" that comes with the SWBM snapped on me in the 3rd workout. cheap stuff.

Aubrey: Programs like these never work for me, I tend to lose motivation VERY quickly. I know before trying that I would give up on 6 Week Body Makeover after about a week. It sounds intense.

Jamie: Well, the idea of loosing weight in just 6 weeks really does appeal to me...the thing is, I just want to make sure I KEEP the weight off. I'm not looking for a temporary result. It doesn't seem like the Six Week Body Makeover program teaches you how to keep the weight off long-term.

Susannah: I think I'll try something different... I'm getting the sense that this Six Week Body Makeover doesn't work for everyone.

Jackie: Well what i like about the 5 Factor Diet is that you can have a "cheat day" once a week. It;s a great program, I am sticking to it and have lost 4 lbs!

Brenda: DO NOT TAKE METABOLIFE!!! IT IS TERRIBLE.

Cassidy: Hey the company actually says that if you go on a vacation and gain a few pounds, the Six Week Body Makeover can help you take it off! Cool, so they encourage you to just let go when you're on vacation, I like diets that are not so restrictive.

Blossom: Huh, I see a flaw in that philosophy of being able to gain weight and then lose it again. If I go on vacation, I don't WANT to gain any weight, I want something that willl help stabilize my weight. I don't think the 6 Week Body Makeover sounds so healhty.

atchisonD_98: Is this the sutff that is on TV ?

Moira: What about diet pills, I heard Advantra Z is a good fat burner, has anyone used this?

07_FORD: Saw that if I did the 6 Week Body Makeover I could eat more to lose weight. It sounded pretty backwards, but I am enjoying the foods I'm eating, I have to say. Been on it 3 weeks, so I'm half way there. Not sure when the weight's supposed to start coming off but it's good not to starve.

lorrie: Well, I know that I am a body type 2, and I think I am sticking to the 6 Week Body Makeover, only i am not sure whether my portion sizes are correct..I think i might be eating to much of everything, still. I do have a very big appetite. Does anybody know what the best way is of measuring portions? thx, Lorrie

knox789: 6 Week Body Makeover has not gotten good reviews on here or on sensational.com/diet. :(

Tamaryn: WEll, to me the SWBM seems a bit expensive ($119) just for a bunch of reading materials and some arm bands. I mean, geez, I can get a diet book for a lot cheaper.

Sheba: SO glad I found this website! When I searched for 6 Week Body Makeover I was led hear and and am so so so happy to have seen this comments. I can't afford to spend all that money on the program if it is not that great. Thx for the posts I appreciate not having to go through this program only to be disappinted!

Monaco: There's absolutely no way my body will improve in just six weeks unless I go through some very extreme measures. And I don't have the time or the patience for that. I'd be happy to lose the 45 lbs I need to in six months, if that's what it takes to be sure I keep it off and don't stress too much while doing it.

Lydia: I don;t know, the Six Week Body Makeover seems a little bit complicated to me, so much stuff you have to read and fill out and keep track of. I just like to be told what i should do and what i shouldnt do.

Ty: still don't understand how the blue print thing works with this six week makeover program.

Sonya: I NEED TO LOOSE 84 LBS. HOW CAN THEY SAY I CAN LOOSE THAT IN 6 WEEKS???? I DONT BELIEVE THAT FOR A MINUTE.

Flavia: Disappointing. I thought this would be some sort of fun makeover, like in a salon with different make-up and hair products, I don't want to exercise that much, I'd rather be pampered. Wish there was a six week program for that.

Brandi: As far as I'm concerned, once a pear, always pear. My shape will never change, it's just the way I was built. What I need is to focus more on toning and fat loss, then I'll be just fine.

Ash: PLEASE, Jenna DiCarlo, if you are on this site: STOP sending me Ecards about the Six Week Body Makeover!! It's not funny anymore!

Skye: So I gave it a shot but Six Week Body Makeover was not the life-changing experience I'd hoped for. Just a lot of work, too much stress and very little results. I need a different approach now, to get the rest of these 37 extra pounds off.

francesca: I guess i thought the blueprinting sounded relaly scientific, like being fingerpritned or something. But it didnt do anything to make the diet work better. I only lost 2 lbs and i gained it right back when I stopped.

Anonymous: Well I paid for my product over 10 days ago, it was instantly charged to my credit card, but I have not received a thing in the mail nor have I be able to get in contact with this company. My suggestion "DON'T DO IT"

Colleen: I saw this on tv an I am shocked. I was getting ready to ask for the total price and they came up with a price more than 359.00 to charge me. The other thing is that this lady could not help me and now I am sitting with this charge to my credit card until monday. Then when this lady gave me an Customer Service number it was for a dirty talk site. I think that this 6 weeks body is a scam and should be reported to the federal drug administration if this is how they are going to rip off consumers and not alert you to what upgrades is. I thought the lady was explaining to me the value of the package and did not get a clear understanding. Rip Off If you Ask Me.

amber c: MANY OF YOU ARE JUDGING THE SWBM WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE FACTS. I HAVE ACTUALLY ORDERED THE PROGRAM AND RECEIVED IN 3 DAYS AS I WAS PROMMISED. THE PRGRAM SAYS U CAN LOSE UP TO 30 LBS IN SIX WEEKS IF YOU DO WHAT IT TELLS YOU AND DON'T CHANGE IT TO SUIT UR NEEDS. IT ALSO SAYS IF YOU NEED TO LOSE MORE THAN 30 LBS. IT WILL DEFINITELY TAKE U LONGER THAN 6 WKS. THE MAJORITY YOU DON'T WANT TO DISCIPLINE YOUR SELVES TO LOSE THE WEIGHT YOU DESIRE TO LOSE. YOU WANT TO EAT WHAT YOU WANT HOW YOU WANT IT. THE SWBM TELLS YOU IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU FOLLOW THE PLAN TO THE LETTER. AFTER YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT YOU CAN MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO STILL ENJOY THE FOODS YOU LOVE BUT STILL EAT SENSIBLY TO NOT GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK. IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THAT EVERYONE CANNOT EAT THE SAME FOODS TO LOSE WEIGHT. SOME PEOLPE CAN PIG OUT ALL DAY AND NOT GAIN AN OUNCE. FOR THOSE OF US THAT CAN'T THIS PROGRAM TEACHES YOU WHAT FOODS TO EAT THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR BODY SPECIFICALLY TO LOSE WEIGHT. MANY OF YOU WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SWBM MEANS WHEN IT SAYS THIS OR THAT. LET'S NOT FORGET IT IS A BUSINESS, IF THEY DISCLOSED EVERY SINGLE DETAIL, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE A PRODUCT TO SELL. THE BLUE PRINT IS THE PLAN FOR YOUR SPECIFIC BODY TYPE, THAT'S ALL IT MEANS. IT ALSO OFFERS A SIX WEEK MONEY BACK GUARANTEE MINUS SHIPPING, SO YOU REALLY NOTHING TO LOSE. SO IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD $20 A MONTH FOR 6 MONTHS TO PAY IT OFF FINE. YOU'LL SPEND MORE THAN THAT ON THE JUNK THAT YOU EAT THAT KEEPS YOU FAT. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN, THAT CERTAIN FOODS HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT, DEPENDING ON THE PORTION SIZE AND HOW IT'S PREPARED. IF UR ADDING SALT AND OIL TO YOUR FOODS TO PREPARE IT, EVEN A TSP, FORGET IT. SALT IS AN ENEMY AGAINST LOSING WEIGHT. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ON FOR TWO DAYS AND HAVE ALREADY LOST WEIGHT, AS IT PROMISES TO YEILD RESULTS IMMEDIATELY. BUT I AM FOLLWING IT 100% AND I WILL ONLY GIVE IT A WEEK. IF I HAVE TO GIVE UP THE FOODS THAT HAVE BEEN KEEPING ME OVERWEIGHT AND DO EXCERCISES TO TONE MY BODY FOR SIX WEEKS OR MORE THEN FINE. AND IF UR VERY OVERWEIGHT, THEN U SHOULD HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO KNOW THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO STAY ON THE PROGRAM LONGER THAN SOMEONE WHO ISN'T AS OVERWEIGHT AS YOU. BUT THE PROGRAM CAN HELP ALL THOSE WHO WILL CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THE PLAN, AND NOT LOOK FOR AN EASY WAY OUT.

tonya: I tried the six week bodymakeover and lost 18lbs the first 9 days. I was so excited but then it was that time of the month, and I did not loose any more, even after that time of the month was over. So I quit it. WHY? Because I hated it. You can have no processed foods, no salt, no butter, or subistutes. You eat 6 times a day. No bread, pasta, or rice during the six weeks. You can have veggies, but different body types can have a better selction, example: I could not have corn and it is my favorite.I could have a baked potatoe plain, no salt, or butter or anything. And You can not have dairy products: milk, cheese. And this is expensive because you have to buy fresh meats and veggies, on top of the cost of the product. And I am a very picky eater so I ate the same thing all the time....chicken. Only certern body types can eat red meat. You can have fish and certen ones can have pork, but i don't eat fish or pork. So I don't think anyone will enjoy it. I know I didn't.

bartendika: for any one who says this does'nt work ... you didnt really give it a chance .too wrapped up in the cheese paper and greasy hashbrowns.. way too self consumed and remember you are what you eat!!!

Lauren: I ordered from a TV offer. It ended up costing more than I expected. So far it is sorta difficult to follow and figure out. I'm not a dummy but this is not a lot of fun. I would not recommend this to some one looking to lose weight quickly.

CECE: *SixWeekBodyMakeover* It was worthless- and also it is very deceiving about what it does and what the price is. I would not recommend for anyone, the people that say it worked for must of gotten paid.

melissa: I have about 40 pounds to lose and figured I could send it back in six weeks if I didn't see results they say you could lose 30 pounds so I was hating my body after my five children and there was a set of twins in there too boot. I stuck to the plan and lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Then it started to get boring eating the same foods but I am no cook so I didn't try much. So I tweaked it a little and ate better but not so strickly and kept losing weight! Weird but it worked for me and the first thing I noticed was my belly fat was leaving! No more bulging out of my shirts and my pooch has gone done a ton! So hey I like it.

Katy: I read all the posts on here and I'm quite shocked. Most of the negative reviews come from people who either haven't tried the plan, didn't read what the plan involves or cheated on the plan. I only ordered this because there was a money back gauratee. The 6WBM states you can lose 30lbs in 6 weeks. I lost 28 1/2lbs in the first month. I have a lot of weight to lose so I know it will take me a long time to take it all off. A lot longer than 6 weeks. I measure and way my portions and prepare my meals a couple of days in advance. It was difficult the first week, but after that it I got used to it. I posted a blog on my myspace for all my friends to see and each week I weigh in and blog it. This plan is for people who are ready to make a permanent change in their lives. I recommend this to everybody. I love what I'm eating and I love the results.

Tiguan: Sorry I tried it and it did absolutely nothing for me. Thumbs down from a real user, I am not trying to sell this either way.

ROMIFE: WHY ISN'T MY COMMENT BEING PUBLISHED I WANT TO SAY THAT I LOVE 6 WEEKS MAKEOVER

DeeDee: Didn;t work, my body looks the same after 6 weeks. Which is nothing to talk about :(

denny: just received the six week makeover and being a health professional i looked up the values for the diet as listed. this is no miracle diet it is a 900 - 1000 calories a day diet with 40gram of Carbs, and 45 min of aerobic exercise 5x per week. its pretty intense so you'd better lose weight - let's be real ,weight watchers or a plain diabetic diet gives you a lot more options. what a scam.

Tiffany: Two years ago during the summer I ordered the SWBM. I was so excited to see it arrive, I ran to the TV, opened the box and tried to get started with my plan. Boy, there was a lot of things to do and organize... At that moment I said "Well I will just do it later". Well, later came that next summer when ZI stepped on the scale at a friends house and it quickly ran up to 360lbs. I knew then it was time to dig Michael Thurmond out of the garage and give the SWBM a try. The hardest part about the actual material was putting it all together. I had papers everywhere. But finally, there it was... my SWBM book. Customized by me, for me. I was really proud of myself. I cooked all my food on Sundays for the whole week. The first week I lost 11lbs. During the 6 week course I lost down to 320lbs. I felt so much better!! I only wish to God that I had stayed on it. But like some of you, I convinced myself that it was just too hard and the SWBM wasn't right for me. But you know what, it was me that wasn't right for me. As americans we have become lazy. We are not use to hard work and dedication, which is exactly what this program is!! I know I didn't gain 360lbs in 6 weeks and chances are, im not going to lose 360lbs in 6 weeks either. I have gained all my weight back and have reordered the SWBM. This is a great program and I am going to do it this time!!!!!!!!

Harriet: As much as I would love to believe I could lose 40 lbs in 6 weeks with this program, I know it isn't possible. Currently I am in week 3 and have not lost anything. Maybe a pound, but it's hard to say, and nothing to be proud of anyway. Some of these recent comments almost convinced me it would be worth it, but I am really more interested in a program that will cause me to gain the weight back once I stop. I need something that will last for life and I can tell already that this is not even helping me get the weight off, so how will it ever stay off? This one is not right for me.

Samantha: I have seen the show Extreme Makeover and the Info-mercials for the 6 wk. program on t.v. and have been wanting to try this. The only thing that has stopped me is the amount of work i know will be involved (actually following it and doing what it says)!! But.....now that I have read all of these blogs and realize that there are many more fat, lazy, un-motivated people in the world than just myself I now have the motivation I need to actually order it and follow it. So, I just wanted to say "Thank You" to all you fat, lazy people out there, I appreciate the motivation.

Jane: The SWBM was very difficult to stay on for so long; certainly not a 'normal way of life'. If you return the pkg, make sure to get tracking for it. I returned mine 4 months ago and "it got lost". Tracking proved they rec'd it and my refund will be issued; 5 months after they rec'd it. The company steals your money unless you can prove tracking. They ought to be ashamed! I'm still fuming!!

Savante: SWBM~I am a mother of six and over the past 6 months have went from a size 18 to a size 10!I did not use the swbm i used good common sense and discipline.I did'nt even excercise unless it was to clean my house or play with my kids.People you have got to be accountable for yourself. Stop eating big portions and fatty foods.I even stopped buying sweets so I wouldn't be tempted during that period.Miracleburn does work I do want to tell you,I only used it the last two weeks of my weight loss process though.It took off 6 lbs in one week.I am ready to continue loosing more weight now before my husband comes back from Iraq, cause I wanna be a sexy size 7 when he gets home.Keep your head up and don't give up.

liz: way to go amber c! i couldn't have said it any better. thanks.

JENN: HEY I JUST ORDERED THE SWBM AND I'M KINDA NERVOUS NOW AFTER READING ALL THESE COMMENTS.

Rachael waters: How long does it take to get the package to our homes?

Sweetliz: Well I did the program 7 years ago and my body went back to the size waist that I was as a teenager but now with one more child and more demanding job, I did not have much luck because it is hard to cook those foods that does not have salt and cook for the family, so I had to stop. But now I changed jobs and so I am definitely going to try it again because I know it works and 2 other friends of mine lost weight on it too but mostly the energy you get is awesome.

chris: Seriously peoples.....half of these comments are just plain dumb!! .......... "It's too hard" "I have to read?" "It takes work"............... Get real people......a "diet" takes work and commitment. Do you think that supermodels and movie stars just eat what they want and sit around their house? NNNNOOOOOO!!!!! Most of them have personal trainers that get their @#$%'s out of bed and into the gym and give them a specific diet. Most of us cannot afford personal trainers or dietitions. so we buy a program and "if" we stick with it we "will" see results. I just bought this program, and guess what? it made sense.....eat healthy, eat often, and excercise. Good job Amber C. Good luck everyone else. Stick with it. Don't listen to the haters.

chris: !!!

Cat: I haven't started it yet, but will do so next week. I have a couple of friends who did the 6 week program and had great results. One lost 30 pounds and the other lost 20. You have to remember that you have to follow the diet correctly in order to see results. Also it is very important to measure your food rather than guessing the portion size. Some people have negative feed back on this product but I honestly think that their portions sizes were wrong and they may not have followed the diet strictly. Also along with the diet you need to exercise. Sorry, most of us aren't blessed with fast metabolisms and have to work out and eat right to have a nice body.

cheryl: I am 150lbs, 5'7" and do not hate my body. I do however have to barely eat to maintain it. I am wondering if this program could help me get back to just eating right to maintain.

JP: If you send this product back SEND IT DELIVERY CONFIRMED AND KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!!! If you do not, they will not issue you a refund without proof you returned it. The Providia Company are crooks! They had my pkg but "didn't know what to do with it" until I could prove I sent it back. The BBB also heard from me.

Amanda: I have done this before 3 years ago, both my boyfriend and I did it together and WE had AMAZING RESULTS.... I was expensive for us b/c we had to buy fresh food almost every day b/c of lack of space in freezer and fridge in apartment. High blood pressure runs in both our family so the low.. I mean darn near no sodium factor made us happy. We REALISTICALLY didn't expect to TRANSFORM our bodies in 6 weeks but we both lost over 10 lbs!! We are doing it again b/c we have more freezer and fridge space and there is a cookbook now w/ more recipes!!! We use this to boost results and I encourage all to remember that b/c of the "shock" factor to you body in the beggining you loose alot, especially water weight but stay with it and you will see results!!! Plus, you will feel fantastic seeing the scale drop!!! They also have a buddy program now where you can order twice the materials to have a live-in companion participate in a healthier life style w/ you... REMEMBER to be REALISTIC w/ your expectations and don't set them ridiculously high... baby steps= less dissapointmenet and better results

karen: I tried the Michael Thurmond diet several years ago, and it worked! I can't believe some of the lame brain comments people are posting who have not even tried the program. Duh. You mean I have to read? You mean I have to exercise? You mean I have to work? Duh. I would rather do my bicep curls lifting Fritos to my lips!! Hope you are all enjoying your fat hips!! Yes, It did take a bit of time to put my personalized plan together. I lost weight and felt the best that I ever felt!! That in itself was worth the diet, never mind losing ten pounds and keeping it off for many years. Other benefits- taking out certain carbs and feeling terrific made me realize that I was wheat glutten sensitive. Taking out a lot of dairy made the "bloat" go away. The only negatives that I found was that the food choices for your body type get a bit boring and redundent.It also takes some prep time to get ready for your next day or days. I typically prepared two to three days of meals on Sunday evening and then again midweek. However, I plan on going back to the diet now that menopause,stress and hormone changes are causing me to gain some weight back. The energy and the way I felt on this diet will make me go back and do this again. Oh, I bought the diet on HSN. I felt that I could return through them and it was a "safer" way to purchase the plan. Best of luck to all of you who finally make the commitment to put in the work and live a healthy lifestyle. You don't have to be skinny to be happy, but healthy is priceless.

Rosemarie Janssen: I called to order and found that the "diet" works better with all his products. I said never mind. Then THEY called me back! The woman said you do not need all the extra products but they are just suggested. I then decided to do it again. so was supposed to pay $19.95 per month for 5 months. this would INCLUDE shipping. I read blogs and cancelled order next day. The company charged my credit card $49.95!!!! I have disputed it and all will be ok but just be aware of this. You will be charged more then you agreed too. I will never know if this so called six week makeover works as I will not be charged more then I agreed too. Rosemarie Janssen.

Rosemarie: If this diet works or not is not my issue. It might have. The companies greed is the issue. If you have a great product then why do you have to rip people off with extra charges and charge one's credit card three times what one has agreed too? Read my earlier comment. thanks. but no thanks to SWBM! By the way, leave hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated anything, sugar and flour totaly out of your diet and you will lose weight. and have a healthier organs to boot.

marcie: I have been doing the swbm for the past four days although I have already lost 3lbs I don't know if i will be able to stick with it I am a B so I don't have much choices of food. I can't eat any sodium, sugar, or much starches. Although it is working I am hungry all day just waiting for the next 3 hours for the next meal it seems all I do is think of food. You can loose weight but it is a very strict program you have to abide by.

Trisha: To KAREN, CHRIS, and others: What's with all the anger? You have nothing better to do than go on a diet website and take shots at the "fat hips" of struggling dieters? Geez, maybe next you should go beat up an old lady! I mean, i don;t understand, we're supposed to be supporting each other here. Ok, I agree that maybe remarks about "having to read" seem a bit lame, but at the same time, maybe this is an overall frustration at the fact that this diet is impractical and doesn't fit a lot of people's busy lives. AND you know, a lot of people don't like being swindled by companies like Providia Company, who are known scammers. People being charged multiple times not getting their products, whose fault is that? It's not cool for us to be blaming each other. I don't have much respect for a person who kicks others when they're down. I wish you all luck, whether i agree with you or not.

Brenda39: I am new to the 6WBM, but I have so far had a good experience. I ordered the program on-line and recieved it with 2-3 weeks (Just as promised.)It was only billed once to my credit card and so far I have not had any extra charges. We ordered the buddy kit so my husband and I could do it together. Our intro DVD's do not work great, however the instructions were printed in the intro manual that said "1 START HERE" so it was not too hard to put together. I was missing a few pages of my book (living lean section) and the company is sending that section. I have dealt with many companies and none of that was unusual. I called the company and they quickly responded to my problem. They were very courteous also. As for the price, try any of the programs that offer tasty "premade" food and you pay $200-$300 a month. Weight Watchers has an entry fee and a weekly fee. Even if it is $5, that is over $250 a year.So we did not think it was that expensive.As for learning how to do the plan, my husband spent a couple of hours reading (a lot less time than going to a weight watchers or TOPS meeting)and we had a good understanding of what to do. We have been experimenting with the foods, especially adding "free" foods to what we are eating. (These are in the recipes under "using food to lose fat") We then made a list of all the foods under the classification so that we could cook more easily and add variety to our meals. I have found it very difficult to eat all the food that are listed and have lost 5 lbs. in four days. My husband has not lost but 1 lb., but he says that he feels better. We are starting the exercise portion next week. We are following the program the way it was designed. Easy rules to follow. Be creative. Apply what you can as you can. Once we do the program with exercise, I hope to lose 40 lbs. in the next six weeks.(One third of my goal.) I feel like this is a diet that I can do. I am a busy college student/mother of three preteen/teenagers and have a part-time photography business. I think because I am busy, this program works better for me. I have to make myself plan meals. Our whole family is eating better. If I can do this, anyone can. It is a matter of deciding I don't want to die because of heart disease or complications of obesity when I am 40. Not all websites say this is a bad program that is why I tried it. As for it being a "scam", many people are using it to lose weight and finding success. If you don't try it and you need to lose weight, go to your doctor and ask for help. Don't give up! Eventually you'll find one that works...I think I have!!

Magdalene: Agreed that there is no need for all the hate on here and we should be supporting each other for weihgt loss. That's why I wanted to share that I tried this program and it was okay, but for me, not that great. I saw very moderate results, which was frustrating for al the effort I put into SWBM. I still need to lose about 25 lbs and am searching for a method, whether its a pill or program, something, to help now because, this was not as good as it seemed.

CurvyDIva: I'm just starting my second week of the six week makeover and I've lost 11 pounds already. I've only exercised one day so far. The hardest part for me so far is eating all the food. I prepare my portions at night to take to work the next day and it seems like as soon as I'm finished eating it's time to eat again. The real test will be to continue to follow the plan for the next four weeks. I'm excited. My sexy size is a 12...I like my hips and butt....don't want to lose it all. If you haven't noticed the infomercials do state that "results may vary". Stick to the plan!! I will let you know how it worked for me in another four week.

Amy C.: Just completed my sixth week and am only 4 lbs lighter than when i began. This is esp disappointing, bcs I lost about 15 lbs throughout the six weeks, but regained most of it. I know I followed it properly but the 6 Week Body Makeover totally let me down.

cireland: I bought the SWBM a couple of years ago. I used it and lost weight easily but I have to say I got tired of the food choices. My daughter moved back in with me and needless to say I began eating badly again. I just today pulled out the program again and know that once I set my mind to it, I can do it again and it really did make me feel great! You can't just sit around on your fat tooshy and wonder why the weight isn't melting away! Read the materials, put your book together, go to the store and get started! I plan to get a little more creative with the meals this time and will make them ahead of time. I know this works!

Erin: Ok, listen, up: I am not a lazy bum, i don't want to sit on my "Fat tooshy" and I am willing to commit to a reasonable diet. But the SWBM was NOT a reasonable diet. It is a.) extreme (you can hardly eat ANYTHING for those 6 weeks) b.) Expensive (yeah, try buying nothing but fresh foods, see how much that's gonna cost at the groc. store) and c.) difficult to maintain long term. I lost 5 lbs in 6 weeks and you know waht? I was so bored with the damn restrictions on this diet that i stopped making good choices as soon as i was done. I have since piled on 14 lbs! This is nothing but temporary deprivation for TEMPORARY results! PS You ladies who insult the rest of us are a disgrace to the overweight community.

msblu/CA: I recently read MIchael Thurmond's 12 day body makeover book (from my local library), as well as owning a 6wbm kit that a friend gave me 4 years ago because she couldn't take the time to go through it and was not willing to change her eating habits (she is still morbidly obese). I have used 6wbm before and got amazing results. So now 4 yrs later, I have gained 15# (stress), I plan on doing the 6wbm and make any adjustments to my lifestyle and habits so I can have the end result that I deserve - "To have my health and well being be the best it can be". If the negative thought patterns, negative behavior, bad habits, restricted conditions, having no plan or no goals and constantly complaining are working for all of you in your lives then good on ya, if not then I must ask you all "How is that working for you in your life?" ... Same day ... same results? Get a grip people ... nothing changes if you don't shift ... Good luck with that and watch out for that train coming at you - btw - last time went down 3 sizes and 45 lbs in 12 weeks - Blessings and success to Michael Thurmond and anyone who takes control of their life!

Kate: The first time I used the program my husband and I both tried it and we lost around 80 pounds between us. He is gone now and I am back on track and trying the program. So far I have finished the first 5 weeks and have lost 20 pounds and over 25 inches overall. The plan is easy to follow and if you use the tools they provide, the food is very good. There are different recipies for the substitution of salt and recipe cards to help make the food more fun. I highly recommed the program...if you follow the instructions, it works...I admit I have cheated on occation and still lose the weight. I still want to lose about 65 more pounds and I know that with this program I WILL be able to do it.

Lianne: I was scammed out of my money with this program, charged 4 times on my credit card for purchases i had not agreed to. I also found this Six Week Body Makeover to be VERY limited. The food choices were deadly boring and it is not a very realistic diet to maintain for the long haul. REAL LIFESTYLE CHANGES are what keeps you thin, people, not 6 week "quick fixes" by credit card thieving charlatans!

Julie: I have been on the 6WBMO for over 34 weeks. I have been able to maintain a 10 lb. loss. I like that you write down everything you eat for every meal; this keeps you honest in what you are really eating. I have changed part of the eating program to suit my lifestyle so that is why I only maintain my weight now. I think the concept is good and I don't tire of the food choices and prepare everything in bulk and freeze, then take out as I need. You do have to be a disciplined person to continue to lose. I prefer to excercise a lot instead (2.5 hrs. a day) and have more muscle mass which takes up less space than fat. My stomach has always had digestion problems and this diet plan has seemed to tame it down. I didn't mind paying for the kit, but for those who want to know the bones of the program should just check out the book at the library and go from there. I didn't care much for the exercise bands and always dreaded doing them each week. Instead I do weight training with 10 lb. dumbells and feel like I get a better workout from them. So if you don't have discipline, don't like to walk a lot, hate eating the same types of foods over and over or just can't keep on track for long periods of time this diet is not for you.

mindy: well, more power to you if you have time to prepare food in bulk, meticulously document everything you put in your mouth, and work out for 2 and 1/2 hours a day, but I do NOT. I have a full time job and 2 kids and my life does not afford me the luxury of focusing on food and exercise all day, not even for 6 weeks. The Six Week Body Makeover was high maintenance, ridiculous and somewhat deceptive because you do have to say on it for more than 6 weeks if you dont want to regain. And you know what? For the long haul of the rest of my life, I don't like the idea of "eating the same types of foods over and over." There might be people who love this, but I was certainly not one.

shohinqueen: It worked GREAT...I lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks, not even completely following all the "don'ts" and I've even slipped back into some old eating habits for 3 months now & have maintained the weight loss. I am a pet sitter, so walk dogs & wasn't able to fit any additional exercises into my day...haven't even tried the exercise bands, but plan to now that my schedule has settled down. I've tried a NUMBER of "weight loss" plans and this is by far the best for me & it WORKED when I didn't think anything could. My only struggle was with the "no added salt" part, but I learned to use lots of interesting vinegars & other spices...AND I prefer eating smaller meals 6 times a day anyway! If you FOLLOW what the plan says to do you WILL LOSE WEIGHT!!

olivia: Well, when I slipped back into my old eating habits, the weight piled on immediately and with a vengeance. It was awful, watching the results go completely down the drain. I agree with those of you who have said that the Six Week Body Makeover teaches you how to do a strict, severe program for a short period of time, rather than a reasonable, sustainable diet long term. This diet completely sucked for me and made my metabolism go haywire, and i would think most people who are on this site would tend to also gain weight easily like i did. i personally found success with South Beach Diet, which is balanced and sane and realistic to keep doing. Six Week Body Makeover is a joke; i want results that will last.

Lysa: I have watched the SWBM informercial about a dozen times and never could really make a committment to buy. I have read all the comments on this program and I have concluded that it might not be for me. It sounds a lot like the Atkins diet where I will be eating the same foods over and over and I quickly tired of that. I have been on weight watchers for 9 months and have lost 45 pounds, but I was thinking that this program might help me see results faster. The program seems more complicated and the food choices are limited. Those of you with success with this program, keep up the good work!

CurvyDiva: I am starting my 5th week on SWBM. I've lost 18 pounds so far. It would have been more but I cheated. Yes, I fell off the wagon but got right back on. I'm losing more inches than weight. For the next two weeks I am committed to hitting the gym and not cheat on my plan. I intend to lose at least another 7 pounds for a total of 25 pounds by the end of the sixth week. I like the plan because it gives me a list of foods I can eat in order to lose weight. Now I know what works and what I need to do to get the weight off.

Louise: I have found that if a person eats healthy (no matter which plan they are on) and lose weight, that's the way it should be. I don't understand why people get upset that when they go back to unhealthy eating and then blame the "diet" they were on? I think that's where the "lifestyle changes" come into play. If a person were to eat healthy for life, they will be healthier. I don't see how a healthy diet can be to blame if it's not followed. It's sort of like getting a prescription, putting it on the shelf, not taking it and telling everyone it doesn't work. Or maybe a person took it for a week, put it back on the shelf, stopped taking it and telling everyone it doesn't work. Or, how about getting into a car, sitting there, do not start it up and complaining that it doesn't go anywhere? Not all plans are good or for everyone, but if it's not used, how can one complain they don't lose weight? It's a shame when some are a rip off. I hate poor customer service. Been there done that. I personally had good support from them, but I know that won't be for everyont. That's a shame. I tried the 6 week and it worked. After a couple of weeks I wasn't committed to do it because I wanted my burger and fries, etc. Was that the 6 week's fault. No. It was mine. A co-worker is committed and daily I see a difference. Yes, daily. She looks less bloated, firmer, happier, etc. I'm going to re-order it and do it. If I don't do it, I won't blame the product! I wish the best for everyone. Eating right is not easy. I agree, eating the white stuff is cheaper. I love a glass of milk with cookies. But my husband just cost us thousands and thousands of dollars of medical bills because of his poor eating habits. That's a no-brainer for me. What ya wanna bet he won't do it with me? He loves his fried chicken too much. He'll be the first to complain "you mean I can't have this or that?" Silly guy. If he wants the acid reflux, go for it. If not, he has to make a lifestyle change. Gotta go. I need to order something for life.

Michelle: Just completed 6 weeks of this diet program and am not too pleased with the results. I did manage to lose a little weight (4 lbs) but wouldn't say my whole body has been remade or anything. It was very strict, and really not that helpful. Somebody mentioned the food costs...wow! My grocery bill tripled in the past 6 weeks! I hope I can keep these few pounds off, and will be looking for something esle to try to lose more. I will never go back to this one.

sheryl: Louise, I agree with what you're saying and understand what you mean with those analogies. Of course, you can't expect a prescription to help you if you don't take it, and you can't expect your car to drive unless you start it. But there is one crucial flaw in your analogies. Unlike a prescription or a car, a diet plan is supposed to TEACH you HOW to make wise choices and maintain them. If we KNEW HOW to do it, we wouldn't need to turn to someone else for guidance. Your prescription is not supposed to teach you how to get well, and your car is not responsible for teaching you how to get from point A to point B. But a diet plan IS supposed to teach you reasonable, sustainable lifestyle habits, and this didn't, not for me. It was expensive, overly strict and not varied enough for me to want to stick to. And from where i stand, that is a good enough reason to look for something better.

Louise: Sheryl: Your points are well taken! Thanks! I have a problem with me. I have been educated but I for some reason just can't follow a "diet". I ended up not ordering the 6 week body makeover because I began to think on the past when I read the information and agree with a lot of it (not 100%) but just couldn't do it. No one's fault--the company, etc. but my fault. I did faithfully cook all the weeks' meals ahead and because I'm not creative, I fixed the same ole thing over and over. I did throw away alot of the food I pre-fixed and froze. Not good. As for the large charge someone had, if I remember the shipping costs for me were on the first payment so it was was higher but the later ones were per the agreement. Anything else I order online seems to do that too. Shipping is on the first payment. I still am impressed with my co-worker who is following the plan and looks so good! I'm so happy for her. Now, not to open another can of worms, but has anyone found a practical, not too expensive plan that works for them? I am one of those who have "tried them all" and just don't seem to have the self-control to do it. That is "my bad" not anyone elses. I don't want to start any anger! Just would appreciate feedback on successes. Again, thanks for the reply and I wish the best for everyone.

Elaine S.: Its good to see that others have had similar experiences as me with teh 6 Week Body Makeover; unneccesarily expensive and the food choices are not all that exciting. Louise, I think you are wise for not ordering this. I just started on the 5 Factor Diet 2 weeks ago and its been a lot easier to follow so far plus I alread lost 4 lbs. Maybe that will be better for you too, good luck!

Calista: I hated this product! Seriously it was the biggest waste of money!!! I set my profile up and I followed the program to the T for 11 weeks. In that time I only lost 2 1/2 pounds! Talk about FRUSTRATING!!! I would have been better off making up my own plan... oh well lesson learned!

arzu nyc: i have swbmo i will start on monday i wish it best everyone its not expensive you can use all your family tape... i love food choices its real food.. bye good luck

Ribbit: Hey All First of all I don't believe in any store bought diet. I think to get healthy and live healthy is a life long commitment. I am not a commited person. I did buy the SWBM overall I like the plan. But I think the trick to it is the fact that you are buying a paperback personal trainer. I needed direction I know I want smaller legs and bigger arms but didn't know how to achieve that. The SWBM showed me what to do to get where I wanted. The diet plan teaches how you should eat. I have a wierd disorder where I gain weight for no apperant reason. I have been put on several diets by nutrition experts, nothing works. The best hope I have is to stabilize my weight to keep me from gaining to much to fast. This program did that. However I don't use it as a six week body makeover I use it as a plan for a healthier life.

Cathy: This is just another one of those intensive "lose weight fast" diets where, once you go back to your regular way of life, you will pile it right back on. Six WEek Body Makeover wasn't even great as a "quick fix," really...it's complicated, high maintenence and annoying. i only lost 5 lbs total, which i regained within a month of going back to regular eating. I need something a bit more long term, something i can use for the rest of my life. This wasn't it.

Cathy: This program is fabulous - it works IF you follow it! I lost 13.5 lbs after 6 weeks, and 24 lbs after 12 weeks - and this with undiagnosed, untreated hypothyroidism. If you cheat - you are cheating yourself!

Larissa: You are so right, Cathy...you have to stick with the Six WEek Body Makeover, and sometimes that's easier than others. Let me share a little tip w/ you guys for enhancing your success.....what i do is, i eat these candies called Hoodia Bites. They have Hoodia Gordonii in them and they help me to walk away from temptation. They taste really yummy, too....kind of like a starburst fruit chew. THey're helping keep me on track, and I've lost 11 lbs already in only 3 weeks!

Peter: First some testimonials: My Dad (64) lost 35 lbs on the diet and is back to a 32" waist. My Mom (66) lost 55 lbs, but still has about 40 to go. I went from 207 lbs to 176 lbs in 3 months and am back to a 32" waist. My wife just started the diet and lost 5lbs the second week. It took her a good 5 days to get the hang of the diet, so she didn't lose anything the first few days. Now for my take on the the 6-week Body Makeover and some of the comments posted above: First of all, there is no such things as getting something for nothing. If you don't want to work hard, how can you expect to achieve the body you want? Yes the diet works. Yes you need to change your approach to eating forever. The whole point of the plan is to teach you how different foods act on your body and how you can take advantage of this to eat plenty of food and still lose weight. The diet is strictly no fat, no salt until you get to your goal weight. Yes, eating 5-times a day can be difficult if you don't plan ahead. No, it is not true that you have to eat the same things all of the time. For example, I can eat chicken, turkey, lean steak, tuna steak (or low sodium canned tuna), swordfish, red snapper, shrimp, lobster every single day as part of my regular meals. If I cheat one day, no big deal, I gain a little or don't lose as much, but the next day, you go right back to the plan and get right back on track. Once your metabolism kicks in, you will be amazed at the weight loss. Increasing your muscle mass through slow jogging/fast walking and resistance training only increases your metabolism and fat burning ability. For most people who don't exercise (like me), you should be doing this anyway. One of the great features of this diet is that you eat only what your body is capable of absorbing at a given time. When you are hungry it is usually time to eat again. People, there is no simple way to lose weight. You have to work hard for it. If eating 5 times a day instead of 3 is the price you have to pay, what is the problem? I hope you don't get discouraged by the negative reviews, if you are serious about losing weight, this really works and will last you a lifetime. Good luck.

Peter: One other comment: If you are already thin, don't expect this diet to help you lose more weight. You are fine just the way you are.

Eat2Live: I am on my 8th day of the 6wbm and I have lost 4 lbs so far. My goal for the end of the 6wks is 12-15 lbs. I have 20+ lbs to lose. I agree that the work is extensive, but I am reaching 45yrs old and have hypertension and want to live to see my children grow old and see my grandchildren and great grandchildren one day. I have started 2 dance lessons for 3 nights a wk, and walk the alternating days. This is work, but it is worth it. Hang in there

Karen: That's great, peter, that you (and your whole family, whose testimonials you posted, tho I'm not sure why you did that, it sounds kind of like an ad?) are so into this Six Week Body Makeover. I think maybe the thing to understand is, if eating 5 times a day works for you, then more power to you...but there are a LOT of different diets out there, and more than just one that works...sort of how there isn't one "right" religion. for me, there's just not the time to eat that often, but i don't begrudge you your success. For me, i do alot better on South Beach (with a little help from my Fortex ab belt) and that works for me. It's simple and straightforwardm the way i like it.

Gina: Six Week Body Makeover is OK, a bit complicatied maybe, but doable...I take NuPhedrine with it to ensure results, and this stuff kicks a$$. I have lost 17 lbs in 6 weeks.

Danielle: I just want to say that I have been on the 6 wbm for a month now and I have lost 20 pounds so far. I am satisfied with this program it has not let me down. With thie program I cook alot, I have become a regular gourmet chef. No matter what plan you go on it takes discipline. So if you are not willing to put in the time and become disciplined it is not going to work for you. Alot of you are focusing on what happens with customer service rather than the diet itself. I am sorry that you have had problems in that area but don't let customer service keep you away from a good program. Since I have started the 6 wbm program I have experimented with foods that I never would have touched other wise , Prime example is shark. Remeber Jaws :). Come on people don't knock it until you try it and to those of you who are losing wieght on this program keep up the good work

Jessica: Hello to everyone. I agree with a lot of you saying that if you don't do the work, you don't get the results. I have not yet tried the 6-Week Body Makeover, but I intend to. I am expecting work, which I thank a lot of you for giving me a heads up. All "diets" that are healthy require changes in the way we live. If what we were doing before worked, we would not try all of these different diets. There is not one "miracle diet" that works and gives great results to everyone. We are all different and do not have the same bodies or levels of commitment, so we cannot expect to get the same results out of the same product. For those out there who are looking for a more inexpensive plan, try the flat belly diet by prevention magazene. It works great for getting that extra flab off the midsection and has several great recipes for great food! Everything worthwhile requires work! Good luck everyone!

nicole w.: WEEK 7: gained 2 lbs since finishing 6 week body makeover :( all that hard work is disappearing before my very eyes.

denise: OMG Nicole: same here!! The Six Week Body Makeover doesn't teach you how to keep it off! i guess i should have known that a diet that deals with a time frame of 6 weeks isn't meant to be maintained FOR LIFE. I want permanent results for a change!! !this didn't do it!!

Allison K.: It absolutely works - you really need to take the time to either read the material or even better, watch the DVD's if you don't like to read. This is a guaranteed winner in my opinion. As far as knowing how to keep from gaining after the 6-weeks (or however long it takes you to lose), there is a "living lean" portion included in the program - READ IT! Of course, you cannot go back to eating at Burger King every day if you want to stay fit - but who would want to?? I lost 30 lbs and 3 dress sizes and it's been 8 months and guess what - I watch the scale, if I go up a pound or two, I'm right back on the plan. It changes your whole perspective on what you put in your mouth and essentially your body. I've never felt better in my life - I no longer wake up to stomach aches and my skin is glowing. I am 52 years old and have been on every diet program in history - I've never stuck to any of them as long as this one, because this IS the one that works. Hope this helps with some of the skeptics out there and good luck.

megan: the program was okay but i've been taking a natural appetite suppressant (hoodia p57) since coming off the 6 Week Body Makeover. i need it to make sure i don't indulge and it helps.

sam: i also tried the swbm it is to rime consuming to much info to read. also the eating is not realistic especial if you go out or at some ones house for dinner it is impossible to stick exactly to it

deanna d: I read his book followed the instructions and the fat has been melting off . first six days -8 lbs and 4lbs a week since. all without exersize. never hungry . i feel like ive been ordered never to diet again. i eat every 2-3 hours. lovin it!

Paul: I have lost 30 lbs in about eight weeks with little excercise and a free day (or three free meals) per week.

Maya: VEGETARIANS BEWARE! Don't take for granted that this will work for you due to the increased consumption of vegetables...the 20lbs came off easily in the first month but dizzy spells came on and the monotony of menu makes it difficult to stick to...and the weight came back on once I tried to return to a diet plan given by a dietician. Thurmond should really relook at this system and its applicability to vegetarians...and be willing to ADMIT that this was not done rather than refer us to a Blog for advice..tut tut

mitchell: oh, thanks for the tip maya. i was not so sure this would be right for me, as a vegeterian. i will look for something other than 6 Week body Makeover. DOes the South Beach diet offer better options?

gretchen: I realize that everyone has an opinion, but would you mind putting yours somewhere else if you HAVEN'T actually TRIED the program? My friend has this program and I looked it over - my husband and I are both going to try it. The workouts are definitely customized, and the diet plan is not that restrictive (but hey, if all you want is fast food and pizza but you want to lose weight, SOMETHING's gotta give people!). If you haven't tried it, save your opinion for later. Those I have talked to who HAVE tried it have each lost 20lbs or more in the first month, and are noticing a great increase in muscle. Worth a shot, right?

Daina: I did the swbm starting after Thanksgiving of last year. I lost 44lbs in 4 months. I lost an additional 6 lbs within about a month after that. I can truly say that it worked for me. The only problem was that I have a very sensitive body and I had a few unwanted side effects that I think they should warn people about before they start a program that will help you lose weight very quickly. After about 4 or 5 months of being on the program I began to lose hair and kept losing it for months. I also started getting different types of infections that i had never had before. I had quite a few blood tests but they all came back normal. My body was just thrown out of sorts and didn't know how to react. Since then I have added some things to my diet that i'm not "supposed' to eat to slow things down a bit. But I think I will start again to lose my last 20 lbs- but I will take it a little slower and not cut as much out of my daily diet this time.

Rheannon: SO I have tried the Six Week BOdy Makeover program and here's my opinion: IT SUCKS! And btw, Gretchen, i see that YOU are posting comments here, and have not even done the program yet!! So please, there is no need to be rude. We are all trying to find the best way to get the weight off here, and I appreciate any input that's offered. I wish you success on this, but, in 6 weeks, I lost 0.5 lbs. Now, I MAY have gained a bit of muscle, as I was working out but still, the results werent' impressive. Glad I stopped then, I would hate to have the side effects that Daina describes above...don't do it again, girl! Save your body from this hell!

Kimberly: I think the 6wkbm program is great. I'm morbidly obese, suffering from hypertension and is on 31 years old. I'm on my 2nd week of the program and has already lost 12 lbs. My starting weight was 329 lbs and now its 317 lbs. I now have more energy and get around a little quicker. Oh my gosh, yes, yes, yes, i have to agree with everyone about the food choices. Eating the same foods every day can be very annoying. But at the end of the day, if that's what i need to do to lose weight then i'm all for it. I plan to lose 150 lbs in the next 5 or 6 months. I know it can happen if i continue to follow the program. The food choices will get better in the long run because you have this fantastic cookbook with all kinds of recipes in it that you can use. So people i stand behind this program it really works. I will submit comments every week to tell you all of my results. Like all my other colleagues said "DON'T KNOCK IT BEFORE YOU TRY IT".

alicia: i do respect anyone who is able to stick to the Six WEekBody Makeover...i wasn't. Even KNOWING that there was an end in sight, i was really struggling with the BORING MONOTONY of eating the same stuff each day. i am confused too about why people seem to be saying "you never tried it" when how can you say that? i did try! I just have difficulty with diets that dont offer very much variety. i realzed that the Six Week Body Makeover was more for a short term crash diet than it was about keeping the weight off for life. I'm going to look for something better suited to me.

Djulka: This is the best diet I have ever been on in my life. Within a few days of going on this program I felt very balanced and without cravings. To be honest with you I was on this program previously with great success. The only downside is that you HAVE to cook. As a rule I enjoy cooking so this is not a problem. I would estimate that preparation takes about 2 hrs a week. Events in my life caused me to be away from home and eat take out for a period of time...and the weight came back. Once I made a commitment to return to the program the weight is melting off again. I don't religously follow the program but am about 98% in compliance with the principles. The main thing I do is stay away from white flour or sugar and I eat 6 meals a day. I try to drink as much water as I can but sometimes fall a little short. I think the idea of dieting is so absolute that we often do ourselves in when we stray even slightly...I just try to hit the mark at least 95% of the time. Hey 95% is an "A" in my book. The best part of this program is that the cravings and struggle go away...I don't know why but it seems easy. I don't go through that bargaining mentality or those mental highs and lows. I just feel balanced.

marie: I guess I need a diet that teaches you how to eat balanced, sensible meals even while you're out. I'm a frequent business traveler and I eat out quite often...I need a diet that is flexible enough for me to apply to my life. I know it's possible to not be fat when you're on the road, I see a lot of business people who don't have my problem. The Six Week Body Makeover seemed appealing at first, but then I realized that it's just not realistic for me. I would say most people would like a diet that they can incorporate into all sorts of "real life" scenarios.

Debbie: I started this diet the end of March in 2006. By the 10th of Aug 06 I had dropped 56 lbs. During that time I went of a 2 week vacation. Without worry. Like any diet, if your are really ready to lose some lbs, it will work. The sales pitch when ordering was ruff. Once I received the kit, I was overwhelmed. I saw the quick start information, but luckily I did not go that route. I read everything about this program. I spent 2 weeks preparing for this diet. No fat, no sugar. Thats the basics. The last place for me to lose is in by waist. On this diet, it was the first place. The only regrete I have is that I did not do any of the exercises. I just did the food portion. The plus to this diet is that it is forgiving. I did not gain any weight on vacation. When I slip up and the scale shows me, it's because I skipped meals or did not start of with breakfast first thing in the morning. The only bad thing I can say about this diet, not much help on keeping the weight off. But it does give you the tools you need to lose, if you are ready. Working with people everyday I was asked a lot about how I was losing weight, and it was steady. Those that invested, usually did the quick start first and never did the six week program. If you have 25+ lbs to lose, your not going to do it in six weeks! But you will be amazed at how many lbs and inches you do lose. Debbie

harley: I do not eat meat, but do eat fish. I took the on line test and I am a "B" body type. Before I spend the money on this program, can someone tell me if I will be able to eat what is right for my body type, if I don't eat meat (that includes not eating chicken). I'm very prepared to do the "hard work" everyone is talking about, I'm just concerned that eating only fish may not work with the diet. Since my diet is fairly restricted anyway, I don't anticipate any problem with "boring" food as so many people have posted.

barbara: well, debbie, thanks for your comments. But if you guys are saying "you can't loose 20+ lbs in 6 weeks" then isn;t it wrong for them to call this the "six week body makeover"? Maybe they should call it the "six week body makeover unless you have a lot of weight to loose" or the "Slightly more than six week body makeover" or something like that. Plus, i think it is odd that you can just sort of skip the exercise aspect of this program. i think almost any legit, sensible diet includes exercise. this just seems kind of messed up to me, all this double-talk. I have to lose 40 lbs so i am steering clear.

cathy: Six Week Body Makeover is awful for vegetarians bcs the alternative protein sources are quite scarce. I also experienced some loss of hair as someone noted above, as well as dizziness , with this diet. not for me.

harley: Thanks cathy - what I need to know though can fish be substituted for where it calls for meat. Like I said I'm not a total vegetarian, I do eat fish.

Roxie: It took 9 days to receive the swbm and the instructions simplified the whole thing. It tells you that you do NOT have to read all of the material to begin. I found the body type I am, the basic guideline menu for my type, and began immidiately. I've been on it for 8 days now and have lost 11 pounds and started the exercising just today. You litterally eat to lose wt. Yes you have to give up bread, salt, sugar and such, but once you start experimenting with the way you prepare your food, it becomes more interesting and tastier. This is the first diet I've had this kind of success with therefore it makes it so much easier to stick to. I've spent alot more money on diet pills, shots, videos, etc... but THIS works!

Patti: In 6 weeks, I have lost exactly 3 lbs and 0 inches. WTF??? I did everything as instructed, from the meal plans to the exercises and did not transform my body. Maybe the 6 week BOdy Makeover is misnamed like soemone said? I don't want to do this any more though, because I think the food is boring. Maybe I need the 5 Factor diet or something. SOmething better anyway.

Lisa: GOOD AND BAD: TEN of us did it. You will get rid of actual fat. It does work if you just do egg whites but it is VERY UNBALANCED as a vegetarian and does not have enough fat. It will NOT work if you cheat for most people. I am shocked at the number of people who say it does not work at all. I lost 22 lbs and my husband lost 34 but we exercise. (I originally put on weight because I broke my back and he had knee surgery). I do not like to admit this, but my husband and I bought the programs did them and gave it out to 8 other people (3 of whom went on to buy it). It worked for EVERYONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO DID IT. My mother cheats and it still works for her. Bitch. It is possible you "body-typed" yourself wrong or something else happened. You can contact them with issues. In general if you want to go the cheap way, do the test on the website and the free 6-day diet and see for yourself. Most people are body type B. And if you READ you are supposed to walk or something every day. My negative comments are that it is VERY boring and if you do not eat real food anyway on a regular basis you will have issues. No sodium was my husband's problem. No fat was mine. But it does work. I took off a roll under my bust 6 months ago and it has not returned even though we are eating "normal". One more tip--if it works and you are not having problems do it straight thru until you get to your goal because you will want to kill yourself if you either go off then back on and it doesn't work or you want to gag from boredom. Which happened to friends of ours. I need to lose another 20 lbs which I have not been able to take off with Weight Watchers but it is a toss up between going back on and gnawing my arm off. Do not attempt this diet if you are not serious and want to eat crap. Go to Weight Watchers or something. Because this is more like you would think of a cutting diet for competition. Yes, this is the program from EXTREME MAKEOVER and yes, Michael Thurmond is a pro and works with the stars to get amazing results. Try it in conjunction with a personal trainer. Good luck.

stacey: lisa thank you for your very thorough and extensive report. The thing for me is that I have trouble sticking to diets that are "VERY boring" as you put it and also it seems that you did regain the weight, which is what i want to avoid as much as i can. Also, i cannot afford to do this in conjunction with a personal trainer they're really really expenive ya know? I was looking into the Five Factor Diet by the celeb trainer Harley Pasternak (he's been on America's Next Top Model and Oprah). with this diet you can actually cheat every few weeks, and that def. appeals to me. Will report back!! THANKS again!

Rich: If you follow this plan to the T you will lose weight. Cheating will not help. If you want to lose you can. I have suggested this to probrably 10 people and not one of them loss less than 20 Lbs in 6 weeks. After you are done, you have to find what you can eat and maintain the same weight. This will be different for each person. You can't loose the weight then go back to your old eating habits. I lost 36 Lbs in 6 weeks and after that I was able to experiment with added foods like Salt, Milk, bread and all the other good foods. I know when I eat Ice cream I will have to spend extra time on the treadmill.

Natalie: I'll take the south beach diet over the SixWeekBodyMakeover any day now that I know better!!! The six week is not a makeover at all, I did not cheat and didt't get the loose nearly as much as I had hoped. I am now on phase 2 of south beach and already lost 27 pounds!

aj: I have to disagree w/ most of u. I went on 6wbmo several yrs ago & lost 40lbs. Yeah, eating "healthy" food can b expensive compared to fast food, diet food or whatever, but I lost the weight. & I know of several others that have lost the weight as well. You have to stick to it & eat every 2-3hrs. If you have a job that cannot allow u 2 do this, then I can understand why one cannot lose weight. You have to be decicated & cook your meals ahead of time & freeze them in portions so u can grab & go. I kept it off for 2yrs where I ran into some medical problems that has changed that, but I'm planning on trying it again, b/c of all the "diets", "pills", & "bars" that I have tried, this is the ONLY one that really worked for me. I even shared it w/ a co=worker who lost 40lbs as well w/o even excersing. So it does work, but it's not a diet... it's a life changing way of eating. & u have to be willing to do so. IF not, it's not for you. And it's not for those who only have to lose 10-15lbs..

Johanna: Hmm, wel thats all I need to loose, is 15 lbs and I was hoping I could do that in 6 weeks with the 6 Week BODy makeOver. So you are saying this is not for me, what should i do then?

Leslie: The foods were good and I was excited to start on the 6 week BOdy make OVer but it did not work out for me. I just could not keep up wiht the frequent meals, even though I tried. I would stretch it out to like 4-5 hrs between eating during hte week and maybe thats why it didn't work? I lost 4lbs initially, then nothing more. Oh well, i can't say i didn't try. The Miracle Slim Wrap is good for quick inch loss, btw. It looked like i was 5 lbs lighter affter an hour only. Maybe try that Johanna.

Bev: My comment is for Daina about the hair loss. I have not been on this diet, I have been on fat loss for idiots. It works, but I was getting bored with it and I wanted to learn about the blue-printing which intrigues me. Anyway about the hair loss thing...before I ever began any program I had a problem with hair loss too, by the handfulls..it can be a symptom of low thyroid function. I had a throid test done by a doctor, which showed i was in the low end of the "normal" range, but then a ND told me my thyroid was very low and put me on NAKA brand vegetable iodine drops two droppers full 2xday, after about two months my hair stopped falling out and my energy went up. I continue to take a dropper per day to maintain, as far as I am aware there are no negative side effects of long term use. A note on salt: One of our only sources of iodine in our diet is salt as it is added to regular table salt. If you use sea salt (which I do, and which is why I have to supplement) or do not use any salt, such as on this diet from what i have read here, your iodine levels will be low. However, that being said, you would have to be on a no salt diet for a very long time to cause a deficiency severe enough to cause hair loss. So this has been coming on for a few years I would think. Also the infection problem is probably related to low immune system function, I would get that checked by an Naturpathic Dr. and take some immune system building essentials. Talk to your local health food store and see if they can recommend something. It is very likely not related to being on the diet, but rather would have happened anyway as our bodies don't respond well to unhealthy eating for years. The problem probably has accumulated over years of stress and environmental stuff and it is just a coincidence that it came on after being on the diet. The same things happened to me before I began any diet. I suspect you would have had to deal with this even if you had not been on a diet. I am not a DR. but I am speaking from personal experience and years of general interest in natural health maintenance. By the way congrats on your success, and keep up the good work. I lost 27 pounds and am maintaining at the moment. I had to get through some unsettled times and I find if I just stick to the eating minimum 4 times per day stay away from the deadly white stuff I feel a lot better, and don't gain the weight back. I do need to lose another 40 lbs or so, and I feel like I am ready to tackle that now.

jessica: I found the Six WEek Body Makeover to be entirely too strict with the no salt and the eating so many times a day. It just didn't feel right for me and besides,. i need to lose about 45 lbs and its not even normal to lose that much in 6 weeks. (of course i didn't more like 5 lbs total). The thing is you can't say you are goiing to remake someone's body in 6 weeks if they have a whole lot of weight to lose. This doesn't seem like it is for seriously over weight people. either that or they are just lying!

nora: * SIX WEEK BODY MAKEOVER * FOllowed This Diet to a "T" and i lost only 4 lbs in SIX WEEKS!!! this is ridiculous, i could have done better just counting calories on my own.

Savannah: I started the 6WBMO in June/2008 and at this writing(December 2008), I've lost almost 90lbs. For my body to function normally, my body needs "real food" and not processed, toxic-laden hormone-injected food. Acid reflux, sour stomach, headaches, inability to concentrate were just a few things that disappeared. I also found that when I ate real food for 2 weeks, the cravings went away. I have issues keeping my sugar sustained, and this plan helps tremendously. Its amazing with alot of the studies coming out about illness seem to be related to how we eat and the amount of process food we eat. We have to stop putting this stuff in our bodies!

CCB: Anyone who says this program doesn't work, isn't doing it right. People that say they followed it to the letter and lost little to no weight are lying to themselves and aren't counting the slips in willpower (or the burgers, fries, and pizza they sneak when no one is looking). I lost 43 pounds the first month I used to program, had more energy and generally felt better. You may think that losing 43 pounds in a month is not healthy, but I spoke to my doctor, and he said because of my body type, dropping that much weight the way I did it was fine. As far as losing ALL the weight you need to lose, they say right in the book that if you need to lose over 30 pounds, it will take more than 6 weeks. It is not easy, and its not a miracle. It takes work! But better health is worth it.

leah: oh, well, i am confused CCB, you say that according to the Six Week Body Makeover, if you have to lose more than 30 lbs, it will take more than 6 weeks. But then you claimed that you lost 43 lbs in a month *(less than 6 weeks last i counted). it is not possible to lose 10 + lbs of fat per week, I asked MY doctor. And anyway you just are contradicting yourself all over the place...!! I'm sorry and no offense but just look at what you are saying.

Auty: This system takes effort and commitment, but it really works well. You do, indeed, eat a ton of food every day. I went on it 5 years ago and lost about 35 lbs. I kept it off for a few years. The weight has crept back up so I started again for 09. My favorite thing about it is that it is all about revving up your metabolism to avoid plateaus. I think the majority of thumbs down people just haven't tried it. There is even a money back guarantee! $120 is less than 2 weeks on Jennie Craig!

Kim: A diet is a diet , you can not expect a miracle to happen. You can't expect to be onthe diet lose the weight ,then go off the diet and expect to keep it off with all the suagars and such that you went back to before the diet. This "diet" is a lifestyle, it shows you what you need to do to get off all the extra junk food and such. Our family of four went on this to try it. The four of us lost 220 pounds between us. Yes our weights fluctuate now especially because of eating treats and such but thats our fault not the diets. Theres plenty of food choices in the recipe forums that people have made and they taste great. Theres also condiment substitutes in the forum also. Research online and at organic stores theres many spices that you can use that do not contain salt or sugar. Trader Joes has a fabulous spice that has 21 spices in it and tastes great on any meat or fish dish and contains no salt or spice. We got marinates and sauces online also that contain no salt and sugars. IT does cost a bit more to begin with but when it comes down to comparing it with all the junk food you have bought within the past month you actually save money in the end. My family and I recommend this diet for anyone, but rememeber its a lifestyle, its showing you how to eat for the rest of your life, not just for the duration of losing your weight.

lynda: See, i worry about like Auty, when you say that your weight has "crept back up..." that makes me wonder whether this really does teach you the skills for life, because i have noticed a few of you have reported regaining the weight after you are done the diet. That concerns me a great deal, because i really want to keep the weight off this time. I've been on this diet for a couple of weeks and the no salt and no sugar is driving me crazy. it does not seem that realistic that a person could stay off salt and sugars forever. seems too severe. my instincts are telling me this is not the diet for me.

Patricia_in Juneau: My weight also "crept back up" after the conclusion of the Six Week Body Makeover...in fact it crept up to the tune of 35 lbs. i know this is partially my fault but its also because this basically is a "crash" diet for quick resuls and it uses severe methods to achieve that goal. its not something you can really live with for the long haul. well, at least i couldn't.

Holly: My son and I both did the 6 wk. body makeover. My son lost 18 lbs. in the first 2 weeks and I lost 38 overall in 6 wks. We were diligent, straying very little from the healthy eating. We ate things we liked, not asparagus and spinach. If you are diligent and go by the plan, reading and being familiar with the plan as a whole, IT DOES WORK. I was in a car accident and injured and got off and gained back some of my weight. I am going back on it starting Monday, because I know it works and it really makes sense. It just takes giving it 100% and understanding the concept instead.

laura: What bothers me is that even those who give the Six Week BOdy Makeover the "Thumbs up" seem to admit that they regained the weight and had to go back on the diet. i don't want to be off and on diets the rest of my life. I want something that's reasonable enough so it keeps working no matter what, as long as i stick to the heathy choices.

catz: i was excited to see the link for this blog, only now i realize it's simply a huge disappointment. Far too many posters chose a thumbs up or down that have never even tried the product. you can't rate something based on 'it doesn't sound possible' or ' it sounds like too much work for me'etc. it skews the summary results at the top.

Denise: To Laura....what they mean by regaining weight is that they didn't accurately add back foods to see how they could "live lean" for the rest of their lives. They didn't regain weight by "sticking to the healthy choices". The program has a living lean section that teaches you how you can add back some foods to see how your body reacts and then determine what you can and cannot eat to maintain your weight forever. This is how it customizes your blueprint to stay lean. Hopefully this will help those who don't quite understand the way it helps you keep off the weight. Good Luck!

monica: So I can't say that I didn't Lose ANY weight with the 6 week body makeover, i mean, obviously, when you start changing your eating habits and exercise more (including muscles that i never used before) you see some changes initially. My problem with this, however, is that the only weight I lost, all came off iin the first 2 weeks. So I guess I should be happy that I lost 8 lbs and am eating better...but it was not the miraculous turn around I was hoping for.

Rebecca: Six Week Body Makeover - This was my 11th "attempt" to try a diet program. It was very expensive, boring, limiting and time consuming. Program did not work for me. Lost 20 gained 60! Very rapidly too I might add. I went to a medical weight loose seminar conducted by two Endocrinologist's. They conducted a study of 1000 participants. Conclusuion.. Fad's do not work! The public spends billions on diet fads every year. Average weight loss is 20 lbs, and then put 20 lbs back on, only 1% actually make it! The way to loose is take in less than you are burning. Keep dieting simple and you won't fall off the wagon. I decided to give dieting another chance w/out 6WB. I changed my eating habits. Eating on a smaller plate. Lower fat, lower carbs, less salt, less red meat, no fast food, no HFCS (if I can help it..it's in everthing!), low sugar, natural products, no artificial sweetners. I didn't cut out the things I crave (salt, sugar, fat) I cut out the huge portions and bad ingredients. Eat slower, and stop after a few bites. Wait for my brain to trigger the "full" feeling. Most importantly...drinking more water and using my Wii Fit for 30 minutes a day. Everyday is not perfect. Sometimes there is no time for Wii, sometimes I eat what I am craving. But I am not guilting myself into calling it "cheating" anymore. Also, food is not a reward. So I stopped that habit too. Now, I am living, I am normal, I still eat chocolate. Lost 20 lbs in 2 months on my own! Still loosing a little everyday. Good luck you can do it without 6WBM!

Dawn: THe Six Week Body Makeover was just a short term thing for me, i did loose 5 lbs but I regained that weight plus 3 lbs so in the end i was worse off than when i started. I think for me it would be better to have a sort of more moderate diet where i could lose the weight over time and KEEP it off. i've heard diets like South Beach and weight watchers are good for that. I just don't want these extreme diets that are easy come, easy go. I'm too old for that now.

Laurie Dodd: Well I feel like my thoughts about 6 Week BOdy Makeover pretty much echo what Rebecca says...the program was boring and took a lot of time. I am not one to complain, I know weight loss takes a lot of hard work (I was a colllege athlete, just have not been abel to keep in shape over the years, 5 kids, etc) Anyway, I did not lose more than 4 lbs on this program. About 2 months ago, I joined a gym and also got a diet pill that I researched HEAVILY online. I have lost 16 lbs so far, in the two months, and hope to only need the pills for another month or two. This has really worked, bcs my appetite was just out of control before. I get Slim 10 online http://www.slim10.com/patented I really believe its a better investment than this program, I know i've gotten faster results.

myra: I don't know what the others didn't get from the program I thought it was a very good plan it's designed for people to lose up to 30# in 6 weeks but I lost 40# I felt wonderful.

Pam Oakley: I lost 70lbs in 6 mos. It sounds like people want an easy fix and putting the burden on any program to work for them. I had to be ready to lose mentally & seriously. Its not a start to finish result in 6 wks, but it is 6 wks of showing you how to keep your metabolism going and reset it. You cant go 6 wks and stop! it depends how bad you want to lose. This is fast at first and slows but it does not stop if you dont. if it fails, you need to do self inventory & get honest w/ yourself. The packaging can be overwhelming but worth it. i owned it 3 years before my mind & commitment took over! I love it & many are following me in family & church. I guess it helps to know someone who is doing it so the program doesnt seem to complicated.

Natalie_NYC: Just wanted to say thank you to however gave the link on Slim 10 a few months ago. I thought it sounded good and tried it and so far I have lost 18lbs. I am so thrilled. I work out 5 days a week and have progressively learned how to eat more balanced meals also. Thank you again!

Gina Pennsylvania: I lost 13 pounds the first week, 27 pounds in 6 weeks, 32 pounds total. Anyone that says it doesn't work is because they either cheated, picked the wrong body type or just unknowingly didn't follow the plan correctly. This is the best diet I've ever been on.

Margie: Sorry Gina, your math does not add up, unless you happened to regain 8 lbs sometime throughout the 6 Week Body makeover program. That makes me a little suspicious...i've heard that some companies post on websites to make their products look better & wonder if thats the case. Anyway, I tried the diet and did NOT CHEAT, and what was my result? 2.5 lbs lost in 2 months. SO at that point I decided to stop, whats the point?

Rhoda: Doesnt' matter if you do this for six weeks or six months, you will get the same results, very minimal. I didn't learn anything new on 6 Week body Makeover and certainly did not alter my body in any significant way.

Gina Pennsylvania: Margie, how does my math not add up? LOL. I didn't gain anything. And I do not work for them. You did not follow the plan right or you picked the wrong body type. If it didn't work out for you I'm sorry but it worked great for me.

Margie: Sorry Gina, I thought you meant you lost an additional 27 lbs after six more weeks. I followed the diet plan outlined according to the body type suggested after taking the quiz..maybe there was a problem there, I don't know. It didn't produce amazing results, as I said. I wish I'd had as much success as you but i was not pleased with the outcome of Six Week body Makeover.

CONI: I'VE BEEN ON EVERY DIET OUT THERE AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY TAKES THE WEIGHT OFF FAST AND I FEEL GREAT. I WILL NEVER USE ANY OTHER WEIGHT LOSS PLAN THAN THIS ONE AGAIN. I LOST 12 POUNDS THE FIRST WEEK AND YES 30 LBS WITHIN 6. IT WORKS IF YOU FOLLOW IT RIGHT AND ARE SERIOUS ABOUT CHANGING YOUR EATING PATTERNS

DarlingDeb: IT Works, as long as YOU work at it. IF you arent losing weihgt on 6 Week Body Makeover you are not doing it right. DOn't be lazy and give up because this works!

VENUS: Tried this plan (6WeekBodyMakeover) for a few months, just under 4 I think, and I barely lost weight. At first I lost 2 lbs,then only 4 more the whole time. IT was not challenging to me and I could not make progress. You know, I have to say I find it interesting that you say you will never use another weight loss plan again, Coni, implying that you might need to diet again in the future? I just don't see how this diet plan is a long-term option. I know it takes patience & commitment, to loose wieght but this was too slow for my taste. I think the 5 Factor diet is my next choice.

Heather: This program works if you follow the instructions and if you do not cheat. If you are not losing then you are doing something wrong. It must be followed to the "T."

becca: Wow, on top of failing at the Six Week Body Makeover, now i find that i'm accused of doing "something wrong." I can assure you that i did follow this diet to a T, for the entire 6 weeks if not longer, and i lost only 3 and 1/2 pounds. It was only after i added a fat burner to the mix (NuPhedrine) that i started seeing the results i was after. So thats my story, i did make every effort but it didnt work. Please don't judge me if you don't know me!

JP: Wasted Money. Six Week Body Makeover Did nothing for me.

Beccq: Folks the SWBM does work! I lost 79 pounds in 5 months. YES 79 lbs. And I did all that without the body sculpting. Imagine what I could have done if I HAD exercised. However - you are constantly thinking about food, when to eat what to prepare, what to purchase and you eat 5 to six times a day so that is a lot of food prep. Now for the rest of the story - I have fallen off the eating program and slowly began to gain the weight back. Within two years I have gained all I lost back. I have been resistant to restart because I remember the food consentration but it is the only that that has ever worked that well for me so I am sure I will start again. The SWBM will work - you just have to be dedicated enough to stick with it and when you reach your goal weight be mindful of your weight and when you gain 5 punds ... take them off immediately!

Dorothy: I am so glad I am here and just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience so openly, it really helps people like me who are at a stage of trying to find the perfect program or diet. In the case of Six Week Body Makeover, I am reading a lot of posts that I can identify with, I have many things in the past to loose weight and ended up failing every time. This time, I am going to read as much as I can and choose wisely. Thanks again!

Crystal: I have done the 6WBM. I was a B in the program, and did the Rapid Results Meals for 2 weeks and lost 20lbs, and didn't do the recommended exercises for my body description, and walked on the tredmill for 30-45 mins 3-4 times a week, only ate the planned meals, I have still managed to keep off THOSE 20lbs, and its been almost 4 years. The 6WBM DOES WORK, I loved it. If you truly dedicate yourself to the program, you will see results very quickly, just like I did. 6WBM is not really a diet, it was designed to help people make lifestyle changes, and how healthy foods can taste just as good if not better as eating out if you put the time in effort into doing it.

allison: hey, beccq, I had a very similar experience to yours with Six Week Body Makeover. It can work, for sure, but you need to be constantly vigilant, and on top of the food situation at all times. Did you stop measuring your foods? for me, the whole ordeal was very discouraging, because i realized that in order to keep the weight off with this program,i was *constantly* going to have to be fixated on food, planning meals, measuring foods, preparing, etc etc. And i am a busy person who likes to have a life. So the Six Week Body Makeover ended up being all wrong for me. I'm doing a lot better on the Five Factor Diet, which allows for cheat days and is a lot more flexible and normal with the menu plans. good luck to all of you.

kim: I thought i could lose weight in 6 weeks with the Six week Body Makeover, but i didn't even come close. now i see people here are saying "oh of course its going to take longer than six weeks..." well how are we suppsoed to know tat when its called "The Six week Body Makeover?" i am serious.

Jack: I noticed a woman at work who seemed like she was losing a lot of wirght, complimented he and she told me about the 6 Week Body Makeover...IF you take it seriously and follow it religiously YOU WILL LOSE A LOT OF WEIGHT! Since then, my girl friend has been on it and lost 25 lbs...(I've lost about 22lbs) and we have turned over a dozen people onto this program....it really works!

Lilly Rose: I am not sure what i am doing wrong here, I only l lost 3 pounds. Not sure the Six Week Body Makeover is working for me. I am giving up, it's just not good or fast enough. I am gonna try the south beach diet.

MAGGIE: A-men Amber. I received my kit 2 years ago and lot 25 lbs in 8 weeks. Working the program almost exactly as described, with minimum cheats, worked great for me. 2 years later, I am back on it and lost 7 lbs in the first week. The Living Lean section was where I fell off the wagon in the 2 years when I was off the weekly program. Meanwhile, this thing works for my Body Type C better than any other program...and I have tried them ALL.

joelle: See, Maggie, you just managed to express EXACTLY what i didn't like about 6 week Body Makeover: "2 years later I am back on it," you say. well i don't want to be yo-yoing back & forth on "6 week" fixes, I want a diet where 2 years later I HAVE KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF because its a reasonable enough diet to stay on. Right now I'm on the South Beach diet and while it has not been 2 years out yet, I feel that this diet is 'doable' enough that i can keep it up long term.

bubbles06: i love this diet i call it my bible diet i lost over 45lbs and kept it off

Jancy: The Six Week Body Makeover is a *crash diet* its good if you want to loose some weight fast & are willing to accept that you will almost definitely re-gain that weight. i regained weight twice when i did this diet over a period of 5 years...it certainly was a rollercoaster. i think i would like to try something wehre the results could be permanet and i don't feel like i am starving for almost 2 mos.

Glenda: This product worked for me has changed my life. Started it in Oct by Feb I had lost 62 lbs. Numerous inches. I feel healthier and look great

lynette: well, i got tripped up on the Living Lean Program (that's at the end of the Six Week Body Makeover). Being on the diet was not so touugh bcs there was an end in sight. But i admit, i fell off the living lean program bcs it was for the indefinite future, and it freaked me out a bit. i think maybe i need a more slow going,less extreme type of diet plan.

Lollie: I've been using this product since September, I had a lot more then 20 pounds to lose so I didn't except to be thin in 6 weeks, however, I'd lost 22 pounds in that time frame and I'm still losing 1-2 pounds each week eating the prescribed foods and following the exercise program, I also drink plenty of water and added walking to my routine. It's been about 5 months since I started the 6-Week Body Makeover, and so far I've lost over 40 pounds. I plan to use this program for life it works for me. It would be crazy for me to go back to my old way of eating I already know what the results will be.

cassandra: theres just too much measuring and counting and food prep and overall planning involved in the Six Week Body Makeover. I mean, that's fine for a DIET, which is what this essentially is, but not to do forever. If i was measuring and weighing my food for life i would lose my mind.

Angie: Wow....I've heard that us Americans are lazy, and reading through all the negative comments on the 6 week body makeover plan - I can see how true that is! Most of the negative comments I've read on here are saying : it won't work for me because... "it's too much work", or "takes too much time", or "too strict" or "too much money". Reading all of these posts you'd think that all these people expected to sit on the couch eating chips all day long! Of course it's work, of course it takes time, and of course it costs more than $20! You'd pay more money, spend more time, and do more work if it actually works, wouldn't you??? I've been on the 6 week body makeover plan for 5 months now and have lost 40 lbs! I would've lost more (since I still have 25 lbs left to lose) except that I ran into difficult tempting situations like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and several birthdays and weddings. :) I am definitely stronger, fitter, happier and healthier. I'm not hungry during the day and most of my cravings have just melted away. I feel fantastic! As long as you can develop a little self-discipline this diet plan is exactly what you need!

evelyn: I followed the Six Week body Makeover to the tee and was very diligent about food preparation and nutritional guidelines and i lost only 3 lbs in 12 wks and then that weight came back quickly. i switched to South Beach Diet in Dec. 2008 and its amazing how much of a difference thtat has made. Something about that diet just clicks with my body's nutritional needs. I have shed 14 1/2 lbs and i am feeling so much better. I am willing to work very hard but it also has to be the right program. Its sorta like a marriage...I will meet you halfway and compromise, but you have to be the right guy for me or there's no point. does that make sense?

Nicole: I purchased this program after watching extreme makeover. It took me like 1-2 weeks to get on track and do the program the way it recommended me to do it. After about 7-8 weeks I had lost 21lbs an I had noticed some difference in my body. I was definitely on my way to making over my body! I think that if I would not have gotten off track during the holiday's, I would have probably lost 35-40 lbs by now. I have been off of the program since Thanksgiving 2008. I would say if you followed this program and did at least the diet and some of the cardio workouts you would definitly lose weight no matter what! You have to be realistic if you have 50 lbs to lose you will have to stay on this program for at least 6 months! I recommend this diet to everyone!!

gabby: I was so optimistic and excited when i saw an ad for the Six Week Body Makeover. It said, " Lose Weight Fast in Just 6 Weeks with Michael Thurmond unfort did not work for me sorry.

Ophelia: I have read all of the comments that were posted on the Blog(especially the bad ones)just to see what kind of complaints and issues that the people that hated it had and it was all about "its hard," "I need more options," It just didn't work for me. Well, I am still getting the SWBM.... No excuses... for the lady that only lost a pound after 3 weeks... do the blueprinting again because you did it wrong!!! Period!!! READ THE MATERIALS... if most of you read the instructions correctly and followed it, there shouldn't be a problem anyway. **Hint** If you have alot of fat to lose, it will probably take more than 6 weeks**(Use Common Sense folks).... and for those that says it's too expensive, its $19.99 a month. **It's even less on ebay** I've known some folks that did it and it worked for them and I would be an absolute idiot if I didn't do it. I ordered mine today, even after reading the complaints and fully aware that it may be difficult. But anything worth getting is going to require some hard WORK. And for those of you that are complaining, what would you sugguest would work and why haven't YOU found success in your plan?....

Jessica: Yikes, sounds like there's a lot of angry ladies pointing fingers out there! So I'm going to throw in my 2 cents worth, and hope that you can understand my journey, its the same one we're all on, trying to get our slim and beautiful bodies back, and it's TOUGH, no doubt about it. BUT!!!! We don't have to get nuts about it, that's what my bottom line is! The 6 WEek Body Makeover is WAY complicated, so regimented I felt like I was in the army...eat this, don't eat that, in two days if you don't follow my instructions you will swell up like a balloon and head off for outer space...I don't like this approach! I feel more forgiving about where I am, for heaven's sakes I have 3 children under 5 and my husband just lost his job, again, and I don't have to treat my self like some kind of concentration camp victim! I need a softer approach to losing the 35 that's stuck around my middle, something reasonable and more kindly...that's why I'm going to Weight Watchers, and trying some Hoodia, looking for my OWN solution, not being directed by some fanatical diet that I can't begin to follow...I need a life change, for sure, but not this kind!

SJS: I did the Six Week Body Makeover and lost 35 lbs in 6 weeks and 105lbs in 32 weeks. This is a hard diet to stick to but the results happen so quickly its hard not to want to keep going. After losing so much I went to there living lean program and now Im back to lose the rest of my weight. I am very pleased with this product!!!

joyce: Oh my, Jessica, thank you so much for admitting the truth about the Six Week Body Makeover! i was hesitant to admit that i had those same diffculties, because i didn't want to seem like i wasn't "tough enough" or whatever to get through this. But i did find it was very militaristic, very strict, and not the kind of thing that is compatible with a real, complicated, three-dimensional life that includes a job, a spouse, kids, pets, soccer games, date nights, etc. etc. I need a diet that's a bit more forgiving and less intense. And one that i can maintain for longer than 6 weeks. maybe i will check out some of your suggestions, because this definitely is not for me.

Dianne: I have tried the 6wks makeover. It does work, I lost 25lbs. in on month. I got off because my husband bought me other diet products that did not work at all. The diet is easy you just have to plan the evening before.

Michelle: I just wanted to officially announce that I just quit the Six Week Body makeover!! I don't feel so bad about it, it was just not working out for me and are actually proud of my decision. It's gotta to be a more enjoyable way to loose weight. I will find it!

David A: It's been working for me. I know that everyone hates the food and all the cooking, but I don't seem to mind it - Six Week Body Makeover

Traci: my husband and started on 3-18-09 and we both lost 15 lbs the 1st week. the 2nd we lost over 8lbs. we feel better, sleep better and have more energy. the key is to learn to eat and exercise.. it's not a quick fix, but a lifestyle change....since we have started we have friends and family doing it with us...

jen: I'm going to start the 6 week body makeover tomarrow. My friends son tried it about 5 years ago, he was very commited to it, and it worked. He made it to his goal of losing 80 lbs. in about 5-6 months, and he has kept it off every since.

Linda: This "diet" works. You have to stick to the plan. Will you lose 20 lbs. in 6 weeks? Probably not but you will see a big differnce in how you feel and how clothes fit. I am 52 years old and have tried different diets and a personal trainer with no results. I was fitter and stronger but I built muscle under fat. I was even going to spinning classes 3 times a week. No fat loss. The balance of food and what time of day to eat certain foods with this plan is what worked for me.

Megan: I have been on the Six Week Body Makeover for only 3 weeks and have already lost 16lbs!! It is an extensive diet, but if you follow it to a T, you WILL have results. There is plenty of support, with a hotline and online forum. I have tried many diets in the past, and this is the first one to work for me. I have IBS and acid reflux, so was worried that the diet might aggrivate those conditions, but it has actually helped, I have even stopped taking my Nexium! And do not have hart burn or an upset tummy at all. In my opion, this is a miracle program!

Cindy: I am planning on trying the diet- but then again, I'm someone that usually keeps to a boring diet (can we say M&Ms, Cheddar $ sour crem potato chips, and Diet Sunkist!!!) I get teased at work about my 'drugs of choice.' I've gone the gastric bypass route, but made the mistake of thinking it was a perfect fix, instead of a tool to use. Good luck to everyone no matter which route you take, I know this will take more than 6 weeks for me, that's why I'm still hesitant in jumping in- but that's my weakness, one that I'm not placing on anyone else. My three enemies are my lack of willpower, working in a grocery store - I buy what I want, when I want - and letting healthy food go to waste if I'm not in the mood to eat it. So for all of you on here, if this isn't for you - just keep on lookin'! There'll be something out there that will work for you- and I'm cheering for ya! For those that have found their right path - GOOD FOR YOU, TOO!

My size should be slim: I tried the 6 week body makeover and found it was too expesive as of buying all of the food I needed. I wasn't able to eat all of that food not to mention finding time to eat six meals a day. I forgot why I stoped and I didn't even think about trying it again until I received this e-mail. I will not try to buy any other programs I am going to rethink this and pull my box out from up under my bed and look at it again. If I decided to try it again I will try to stick to it. I may have stopped from bordom. I'm tired of buying other programs. I will concentrate on the positive posts I have just read. Good Luck to us all.

Birdie: I have just completed the 6 week body makeover and am thrilled with the results! I lost 10 pounds in the first six days (using the rapid results plan). I then average between 3 - 5 pounds for the next 5 weeks. Total weight loss 32 pounds. I think for those of you who are not losing weight (if u really aren't cheating), that maybe you have selected the wrong body type. I do walk every other day for 30 minutes at a moderate pace. I also do about 20 minutes a day of light weights (5/8/10 pound weights). Good luck to each of you. BTW, what is up with those greens? I was eating steamed collard greens and it seemed like it was never ending. Drink lots of water and absolutely no sugar or salt.

VGL: It works! After 6 weeks, I lost 26 pounds. It's time consuming to prepare the meals, but we do everything on Sunday for the upcoming week. Hubby didn't do as well (I think he cheated at lunch!) but still lost weight.

Lu: Please understand, I am very new to the program - I just started and I am losing weight, which is very exciting. I have tried so many different products and losing weight is probably one of the hardest things that one could do. With the amount of weight I have to lose, I know that Six weeks is not going to be enough time but it is a start and I hope to see some major differences in my weight and body measurements. Based on the blueprinting, I am a Type A, which means I store fat and have a sluggish metabolism. Learning to eat food without salt is a major adjustment and I never considered myself a person that needed a lot of salt. Learning to season food differently and not cook with fat are my two biggest challenges. This fight to lose weight is not going to be easy and my goal is to stick with the program through the various parts.

Christina: I tried this program a year ago and lost 75 lbs. No, I didn't do it in 6 weeks. My body took a little longer to respond, but once it did I was thrilled with the results. Losing 75lbs slowly allowed my skin to shrink with me instead of being loose. I feel great and I hope it works for you too. I tried diets all my life - Weight Watchers (twice), Atkins (which worked but 6WBMO started me losing where Atkins stopped), Pritikin and many others. This is a diet I can live with and stick to. It's a little more work to prepare food, but I pick one day and cook for two week's meals. I hardly think about it now. I freeze prepared meats, and eat most other foods fresh saving me a lot of time. I'm a busy person on the go all day and evening. Preparing some ahead of time also keeps me from getting bored or grabbing food I shouldn't eat when I'm hungry and tired. My husband is anti-health food and he lost weight just by eating meals with me plus some because he was not on the plan.

Christina: Okay, sorry for taking up more space, but after reading a few comments I wanted to say one more thing. I did not find this diet regimented. After losing so much weight I gave myself a treat day. I don't consider this cheating. I reached my goal and although I don't want junk as often, I don't beat myself up if I have a piece of cake at a birthday (small sliver which usually doesn't taste as good as I remember anyway.) Dieting is not supposed to be torture. Do what works for you and find a tool like 6WBMO that you can use realistically for your lifestyle and choices.

Renata: I don't know much about the infomercial kit but I DO KNOW that Body Makeover Systems (the Original 6 Week Body Makeover) in Santa Monica helped me lose the 80 pounds I have been trying my whole life to get rid of! They met with me in person, designed my diet based on who I am as an individual and gave me a personal trainer who was absolutely AMAZING! My greatest fear was that after my weight loss I would be left with lose hanging skin. I am so grateful that I look normal and have a pretty rocking body to prove it! Perhaps the kit is too general for most people? It seems with the kit you have to pick the foods and pick the exercises for yourself. It is infinitely better to go straight to the main office and have them design it for you directly. It was well worth the money!!!!

Susan W: Thanks Renata, that might be a better idea, a more personalized system. For the first week, maybe 10 days, I had a lot of confidence in the 6 week body makeover but I just, didn't lose! I followed everything exact, didnt cheat at all and only lost 7 lbs total ;( FAR from the 35 I'd hoped to lose. I was more active and eting better, and still just not able to get the weght off. I will look into other programs.

Cookie: I am interested in trying this but I have been reading the comments and am becoming very skeptical. I have a question for anyone who would like to answer. I noticed that there have been several body types represented in these blogs but everyone has commented on eating the same food and the same types of meals. If that's the case, why the blueprinting?

Nicole G.: Well! this is the end of week 2 and I have lost another 8 lbs for a total loss of 15 lbs in 2 weeks. I don't feel deprived, and I am not complaining. What I've realized is that regardless of what most of us overweight folks may want to believe, we can't all eat the same way. I have been looking and observing how slim people eat, and I've discovered that they don't gorge themselves on empty calories, and I've decided that's how I want to be and it is working for me.

Mizbimmer: Ginnie - Go to Watch wathcers. It works!!!!!

astrid: I tried the swbm 6 years ago and lost 40 lbs in 8 weeks, and went on to lose another 25 in the next 8. I kept the weight off easily. I found the program really easy to use. I had been eating really poorly and just felt awful. After starting the program I lost weight, got into exersize and really started to feel better mentaly and physically! This is a great program, but you are not going to be eating pizza, and burgers and fries. I found that every once in a while I would crave something sweet...so I would let myself have it, but then right back on the program. It was easy and I ate really good food. I found that the exersize was key for me and the water. I recomend the program highly Amberc... I totaly agree with you thank you for saying what you did. Dieting is not fun it is work, we all got fat cause we had no self control. For me swbm helped me to get the control back. And showed me what taking control would do for me. It takes work, but is well worth it.

creiko: My daughter purchased this program and gave it to me. When I took the test to find my body type my daughter noted I wasn't answering some of the questions honestly so with her help I re did the test it changed my body type. I did just the meal section but did not exercise. I even cheated and didn't stick to it quite 100%. I lost 8 lbs the first week. At 6 weeks I did lose 25 lbs. If I was to fo yhr exercising and followed the meals more strictly I might have lost more weight and my body might have looked more sculped.

Jimese E: If you tried the swbm and didnt lose any weight then you have a problem because any one who changes there eating habits for the good should lose something weather its the swbm or some other diet lets be real and tell the truth if you didnt lose you didnt follow the diet. Dieting is hard so lets makinglife style changes and not dieting. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE THATS TRYING TO MAKE A LIFE STYLE CHANGE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

karen: My husband & I were both on this program.. it does work if yhou stick to it, but we were so tired of egg whites!! No dairy, no yogurt, no bread.. it's alot harder than we thought it would be. I think the so-called experts exaggerated a bit: It's not as expensive as some of the other diet plans that taste terrrible, like NutriSystem, or starve you like Seattle Sutton... we barely exercised, but stuck to the food routine & we lost weight... give it a try. Money back guarantee got me to try it...

Maggie: I have done the 6 Week Body Makeover twice. The first time I lost 60 pounds in 14 weeks and kept it off for nearly 5 years. My weight crept back up eventually but that was due to poor eating habits, stress and lack of exercise during my late husband's extended illness. The second time I lost 40 pounds in 8 weeks and kept it off for a while till my own health problems got in the way. I am currently preparing for a third go at it. I like the diet. I prepare meals in bulk and freeze them in individual containers so really only end up cooking two or three times a week. I have tried virtually every diet out there over the years and this one is the only one where I have been able to lose 5 pounds a week consistently.

ncchick: Let me just say, this program works! All you whiners out there just need to stop. If you aren't willing to take the time to prepare and portion your meals, it's your own fault! My mom bought 6wbmo and in just 6 weeks, she had lost 49lbs! The only exercise she done was working in the yard that summer. I have been on this diet for 2 1/2 days now and already lost 10lbs with no exercise! It can be done, you just have to put yourself into it!

Kristie: Bought it, have done it on a few separate occasions. If definitely works, if you stick to it. But having to eat protein 5 times a day is tiresome - both to prepare and to eat. HOWEVER, it DOES work. I was 50lbs overweight. I lost 15 lbs quickly and then 2-3 lbs a week thereafter. It did kick up my metabolism: when I went off the diet, my weight did not pile on, but came back on VERY slowly. Of course, it does not take just 6 weeks for everyone - it depends on how much you have to lose. If you like to cook, you have a definite advantage and a good chance at making this diet work for you! If you do try it out, be sure to use the online forums - they are one of the most useful and motivating resources of the program.

deedee9: I bought and tried this diet. I did manage to lose some weight, however it made me too miserable because the food was horrible. The recipe ingredients were difficult to find and expensive. It was also very difficult and tedious trying to carry all of the food around with you to work and school and trying to stick to eating every 2-3 hrs like clockwork. I think it's a great diet for those who want to remain on a strict diet for the rest of their lives (long-term). But for me I'm looking for something that can really fit into my life because I'm about to become a nurse and for those nurses out there, you know how hard it is to even get a 30 min break!!! You know how hard it would be to try to stuff our face with food every 2-3 hrs working a 12-hr shift. I'm really looking for a diet that is long-term and doesn't require lots of prep time!!! Anyone have any suggestions?????

Giftdist: The best diet I have ever been on. Lost 60lbs. in 6 eeks. It works. But, requires cooking and exercising.

Roberta: This worked great for me and i lost the weight. A year later, I am starving every 2.5 hours, successfully reprogramed the appetite, metabolism. If I don't eat, my body will throw me on the ground as the blood sugar falls so quick so I must eat frequently which is a tremendous inconvenience when you are a busy person. I cannot go anywhere without a small cooler of food. I have, since losing the weight last year, have, in a year, put 15 pounds back on even tho I am still eating a little every 2.5 hours which I don't understand. How can I gain weight on lean protein/complex carb in ratio, small quanitity but sure enough I am gaining. They will not talk to me about it when I wrote them and asked what to do when the diet quits working. This is the only diet I have been on in my life. It worked and now it doesn't and I don't know where to turn.

Susan: I have also had some issues with frequent hunger after finnishing the Six Week Body Makeover. INitially, I had a very short period of sattiety, and i do think it was because the diet had acustomed me to eating so often that i got hungy if i wasn;t eating evrery couple hours. It got to where i had to buy some hoodia P57 just so i could get thru the day without eatting like a monster. The Hoodia P57 is hleping a lot though, so i wanted to share that as a tip for those of u who are post-Six Week Body Makeover. it's a good way to transition and an awsome tool in general.

Deb: It has been a blessing for me. I have thyroid disease. When absolutely nothing else worked, no matter how good I was, this diet helped me to lose 107 pounds in a year. I am smaller and more proportioned than I have ever been in my entire life. People can't believe what I've done and I can truly say it has not been difficult. I have shared it with several friends who were also having difficulty and they have lost substantial weight too. I am finding it easy to keep the weight off using one of the recommended maintenance plans. I thank God every day that I just happened to turn on the Shopping Channel when I did and ordered this diet.

Valerie: Hello Fellow Dieters! I ordered this program a few years ago & it's been sitting in my closet ever since. A few weeks ago, I decided to go back to it & start, finally. I guess I wasn't ready to commit to a lifestyle change, however I've contiued to pack on those extra pounds. Now at 240lbs, (this is the heaviest I've ever been), I have got to do something different with my life. I know that this is a difficult program, but it all boils down to which program helps you lose the weight. Happy dieting!

Samantha: I use this system, and I have now lost 30 pounds. It has taken me longer, but it has come off. The workout is way too easy for me and I supplement with others. The meal plan is strict and if you stick to it and stop making excuses then it will work for you. Everyone that I chatted with that didn't like the plan had no willpower to stick to it.

Margaret: So far I'v been on the six week body makeover for about eight weeks and I'v lost 14Lbs. They say your suppose to loose weight every week on this plan but it's not working like that,but I'm desperate to lose weight for my family reuion in August, so I'll be staying on it up until then, I don't know what else to do.

Melissa: Well I am amazed at just how lazy some people are. I started this program June 1st 2009. So far i am 12 lbs lighter and feel great. I have not exercised 1 time and I am religious with this plan. I prepare my meals in advance like the plan suggests and I find it much easier to stick with it b/c the food is there to eat. I am the world's worst at dieting and feel that being FAT is my destiny. Apparently I am stronger than I thought!!!! I will not lie and tell you that this is the easiest thing I have ever done b/c I PROMISE it isn't. I did have a CHEAT MEAL on day 7 (not a cheat day). This is common sense and you have to be dedicated. Not only do you have to change what you eat but you have to change your lifestyle. SWBM is awesome. I plan to post again when I see how much more weight I have lost. I encourage all the people who feel like I did about my FAT UGLY OVERWEIGHT body to give this program a shot. Just make sure you are 100% dedicated and don't forget that treating yourself is important. By treat I mean a once a week single treat not an ALL DAY treat. I read all the things people have said about this being a crock and it doesnt work and maybe for them it didn't. (but I think if you stick to it like it says and dont slack) you too will see results. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

jam: I saw the informerialon TV and read the blogs. I still would like to try it.I suspect the total calories eaten is less than that burned so I believe it will work. so what if one of the dissatisfied users give me their program?

TJ: I had complete success, on the 6WBMO plan, 30lbs lost, in 12 weeks. It takes discipline, and time to prepare the meals, you have to plan ahead on what you want to eat. It was a little difficult at first to cook for myself and my family, they got really sick of eating chicken every night....I found after a couple weeks I could add some carbohydrates or other meats, my family enjoyed. I could choose not to eat them, because the craving for carbohydrates was no longer a factor. Another thing, when you answer the questions to find out what "body type" you have, read the questions slowly and completely. If you don't, you will, be eating the wrong combination of foods and not see the results you would like. I followed the "quick results" meal choices. This plan is the only one that has ever worked for me...I've tried, Jenny C, WeightW., SuzanneSommers, Atkins and I have never had the results I have had with 6WBMO. The quickest and best way to see results the is to take a 30 minute walk or run if you can everyday and do the sculpting exercises. (Truth, I only did the sculpting sporadically, but with the walks and/or runs, I had fantastic results) Exercise is a very important component to weight loss, it makes you feel good, it makes your heart healthy and at the same time you are losing all that weight you begin to build lean muscle tissue and get rid of all the fat, that is layered over those beautiful long lean muscles. 6WBMO does have a money back guarantee, if in 6 weeks you are not satisfied, you can send it back, they will refund your money, minus shipping of course, No questions asked. I hope those who are discouraged with the 6WBMO program will give it another try, go online and answer the questions again to see if you had the correct body type for you and read the instructions in your book....good luck All

Kim: I have had thyroid cancer and always struggled with my weight. When I did the program my weight was 160 in a pants size 11. I lost weight (139lbs) and was wearing a size 6. For people who struggle with thyroid problems I believe this can help them.

Jo: I have to say I am shocked to read most of the comments on here. My mother and I both used the program and it worked tremendously. Being well overweight (280 pounds), I had to stay on for longer than 6 weeks, of course. However, I lost 36 pounds in 6 weeks and an average of 3.5 pounds per week for every week after for the first 6 months (often 5 pounds per week immediately following the first 6 weeks). I lost a total of 90 lbs. before I fell off the program. I have gained the weight back, but most likely would not have if I had followed the programs guidelines for maintaining my new weight. Did I have to restrict what I ate, of course. If it wasn't necessary to eat healthier to lose weight, chances are we wouldn't need to be considering a weight loss program. If you are looking for a way to lose weight without drugs or surgery, the plan will work for you, if you follow it. I will tell you, I saw myself losing weight. I could look different parts of my body and really see changes, none of this gradual stuff. I had more energy than I have had my entire life. I just wish I had stayed on it. Every since I have been planning to start again. When I do, I have every confidence that it will work.

Max: This my second week on the diet and I have lost 10 lbs. I am so thrilled with the results it just keeps me going to see the pounds fall off. I know I will get to my goal weight and who cares if takes more that 6 weeks. The weight will be off and I intend for it to never come back.

Kari: I did the program for 6 weeks 2 years ago and lost 23 lbs in that time. It got me into a habit of drinking more water on daily basis, even after I stopped the eating plan. I didn't feel like I was dieting, but I did feel like I had changed my eating habits quite a bit. It was neat feeling hungry every 2-3 hours and then having to eat, and still lose weight. The only real pain was cooking everything for the week and having to do so much portioning. I bought tons of plastic containers so I could have all my meals portioned out for work. That's the only thing that got old for me. I didn't miss the salt, and I felt like I was eating very balanced for a change. I really do wish I stuck with it because I know on their support boards, there are tons of people who have made a new lifestyle out of it and stuck to this for years.

Kashena: I have just purchased the 6wbm. I am very excited. Reading the positive reviews of those that lost more that the guaranteed amount is really inspiring and motivating. I was beating myself up about spending that kind of money on something that may not work, but after reading the positive comments I know I can do this. Thank You All!!

Mar: 6 wk makeover is a low calorie, high protein, low carb, low sodium PORTION CONTROLLED, Cardio burning & low impact exercise program. It does take work, discipline and time to lose a lot of weight, no matter what method used.

aida: I bought the swbmo had no problem with loose weight some days you might struggle more than others some days you are going to cheat on your diet that is something we all do the main thing is do not give up and do not make of that day or that one moment and excuse to go back to the old you. If you are a believer pray and the LORD will help you overcome any obstacles that you might be facing. God Bless you.

Bonnie: Save your money! Put on some walking shoes and walk every day. Eat sensibly (no takeout food). Healthy foods are more expensive - isn't your health worth it? Add up what you are spending on take out and junk food - every diet takes commitment and hard work. If you put in the work, you'll see results - there are no magic pills for weight loss. Weight loss upplements aren't good for your body and you gain the weight back once you stop. You must commit to making a lifestyle change. Eat less, exercise more and the weight will come off. You don't need to spend money on anything you see on the internet - you know it will always cost more than what they say it will be. Once they have your credit card number, its all over! Go to a weight loss center if you need support (such as Weight Watchers). These TV and internet deals are no deals. For those people receiving the ecards, report them as spam as they'll be blocked from your inbox. Simple! Good luck to all of you.

JTLAEIV: I started this program after being off the program for more than a year. I saw great results the first time (I lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks just by eating the foods basically because I didn't stick to the exercise regime..maybe I walked 6 times in 6 weeks). Every would give me compliments about my weight loss and it was awesome. I felt better, I felt sexier, I finally found something that worked. So the question is what happened? I started eating the forbidden foods for my body type. I didn't gain the weight fast but after being off the program for about 3-4 months the weight came back. What does that tell me? That I did change my body. If I hadn't I feel that the weight would have come back much quicker. The guarantee is not that "you will" lose 30 lbs but "up to" 30 lbs. If you noticed that you weren't losing weight and were actually following the plan correctly, it may have been good to call customer service and speak with a representative. I used that service alot. It is a plus because many other programs don't give you life time support. This plan is a life time committment, that doesn't mean that after you lose the weight, you can't have a cheat day or add things back into your diet but you can't just go all out and disregard the hard work you put in. I started for the 2nd time on Monday. After less than 1 week, I have noticed that my stomach is strinking even with my mcycle on. My face is smaller and yet, again, I haven't started walking or haven't even attempted the sculpting routine. I like this because my body type didn't change within this time but I can get back on the band wagon. I don't have to pay for the program again because I already have the tools I need. I need to lose a total of about 80-90 pounds and I will, with the 6WBM. The main thing is not to defeat yourself by thinking ahead to when you can eat the things you used to eat. You really never what to do that because if you do, you will go back to where you are now or you'll possibly gain more. Think in lines of making a committment to yourself, to your health, to your life because you love yourself and appreciate the life that God has given you and want to show him that you appreciate it.

Leslie: I just received my 6 week body makeover package. However, I am a vegan. I don't eat meat or any animal products. This means no cheese, milk, yogurt, eggs, fish. I was disappointed to see that this plan does not offer menu plans for people like me. Another disappointing thing is that when I called to inquiry about this, i got a voice message saying that customer service is closed. I thought that a program such as this would have operators available. They are open only from Monday - Friday from 11:00 am - to 5:00 pm. I called them on Saturday. I then called again on Monday at 10:00 am, and there was no one I could speak to. So with no where else to turn, I turned to this blog to post my comments. I hope they helped. Leslie disappointed in the Bronx.

NH in SC: I have been on the program for 5 weeks and have lost 22 pounds! I am definitely eating more and my body shape is changing. My metabolism is working better than it ever has and I have more energy. This is not just a "diet" it is a life-style change of healthy eating. It teaches you the right combinations of foods to eat to continue to burn fat.

Colleen Bowman: I have tried the SWBM and yes, it is strict but it tells you upfront that it is. You have to be disciplined and want to have a healthy lifestyle. Nothing good ever comes cheap or without work!! I purchased it because I wanted to learn to eat better and take care of my body by eating natural foods, instead of all this processed foods we have now on the market. If you eat exactly what the plan indicates there is no reason you will not lose. (I don't mean just one day). If you really devote yourself and make a commitment to yourself it will work. Almost anything works if you stick to it long enough. I like the SWBM cause I am only eating natural foods no processed at all. I feel healthy, my skin looks more vibrant. Getting the toxins out of your body does wonders for a person. DON'T KNOCK SWBM UNTIL YOU HAVE REALLY SERIOUSLY TRIED IT 100% AND STUCK TO THE EXACT MENU PLAN.

Sophie: I am starting this tomorrow, my mom got it first and lost 17 pounds in the first two weeks. The weight loss slowed after that but she admits that she started eating some different foods because she got tired of the same stuff over and over in oder for this diet to work you HAVE to follow it exactly. She took some time off from it and is restarting it today. I can't wait to start as with any diet to have to commit to it and do it right.

cheryl: I lost 40 lbs in 7 weeks. The people that say it doesn't work did NOT stick with it 100%. I did and it worked. I have kept the weight off for 3 years. It takes time to get use to, but if you really want it, it does work. Thanks 6 week body make over!!!!

Janine: I did not buy the program for 139.00, but instead opted for the book at my local bookstore for 14.oo which had all of the info needed for success. This is a fabulous plan for lifetime success. This is not a fad diet but more of a plan of information to anyone who is not eating healthy..regardless of whether or not they have weight to lose. This diet receives an A+ from me, and i had to lose 100 pounds. I did so, successfully on this plan. I see alot of negative comments that i perceive as sour grapes.

Donna Snead: I ordered the six week body makeover kit, this is one of the hardest programs I have ever seen, I kept it for one week tried to figure the program out, and never did. Please do not order unless you have $130.00 to throw away because that is what it will cost you. They charge you $65. shipping and handling charge that is surposelly none refundable, then when you send it back it cost you another $65, that is $130 total. What a rip off!!!!! I have never dealt with anyone like this before. I did the payment plan they took $111.39.out of my account.And only gave me back $45. So, if you have the money to blow, and the brains to figure out this stupid diet, then go for it.I have dealt and bought many things off the T.V before and they aways give you back what they take out including the s&h charges. Very sad company to deal with.

happy 6WBM customer: I followed the 6WBM to the letter- including the portions, food recommendations, and I walked for an hour a day for 6 days. I lost 9 pounds by the end of the first week. I didn't continue it because I wasn't ready to maintain the change in lifestyle, and I stopped losing weight. Not their fault, and I'm grateful that I know what I need to do when I'm ready to take it up again. I truly believe that those who blame the program for not working aren't being honest with themselves, or simply didn't read all the material and/or aren't doing it correctly- either aren't eating properly, often enough, or aren't doing the walking/exercises. Bottom line: no program can help you lose weight when you're not truly willing to follow it. (Same rule applies to those having billing issues- they can't take money from you without your consent. If they do, its a l*wsuit- unlikely they'd risk it.)

Katie: After the initial week and a half or so, I found the Six WeeK Body Makeover to be very difficult to maintain. the food portions were quite small, i was almost alwyas still hungry, and I felt like i was exercising almost all the time. It was just not a sustainable lifestyle for me. I'm not saying that the diet is bad or whatever, just that for me it was too strict and not the way to go. It might be good for a 'crash diet' if you wanna lose some water weight or whatever, but I didn't like it as an actual way of life. but for some it might be great, and that's why there are all different diets.

Sally: I have been on the program for 12 days now and have lost 8 pounds...i love this program and i have never been able to lose weight that quickly.You really have to stick to what is on the plan or it will not work. I love it!

Mg: I had a similar experience as the comments posted by Jtlaeiv (and others). I went on the 6wbm program last year and lost about 40 lbs in 6 - 8 weeks. It is true that you must stick to the diet (your specific plan) and eat all the foods/portion sizes. It took a week or so for my body to get used to eating more often, and smaller portions...but, then my metabolizm kicked in and really started burning the fat. My experience was that i was never hungry, but never full/stuffed - i felt content as you eat ever 2-3 hrs, 5-6 times per day. Unfortunately, like many others ... i slowly went off this lifestyle change and started eating fast foods, buffets/bigger meals, beer (more beer)...and my weight slowly started coming back on. I've gained back about 15 lbs in the past 6 months, but and committed to go back on this plan again because i know it works. **It is not a diet, it is a lifestyle change**. Once you reach your goal weight, you can have the occassion cheat, beer or whatever you want as long as its in moderation. If you change your lifestyle back to the fast foods and beer..well then the weight starts coming back. That is not the program's fault, that is your own lifestyle choice to not eat properly. As far as the price, yes it's a bit more ...but you can share the program with family and friends, and keep the information for life. I think its worth it.

CJ: I wish I had stayed with this program. It was the best thing I ever tried, and, tomorrow I am beginning again. I am 58 (soon to be 59) years old. When I first tried the plan I was 56. It works - trust me. I lost 75 lbs. in 6 months...I wasn't that far from my goal, but I got a new job and backslid terribly - long hours, stress, personnel issues (I', a manager). I could have lost a lot more during that time, but I am a super cook (or so I am told) and was always looking to tweak it so I wouldn't be bored (or so I thought!). However, I wasn't foolish enough to think that I would lose all that weight in 6 weeks...come on folks, get real. One of the best recipes is the stuffed bell peppers (from the recipe cards)...I know you aren't supposed to have oils, but, I have some heart issues and heart-wise I used extra-virgin olive oil for some things...I stuffed baked potatoes with chicken or pork or red meat - whatever portion I was allowed...my husband didn't even know that he was eating according to his body type, and he lost! If you don't lose weight then you either weren't honest when you did the blueprinting or you chose not to eat what you should. In mho, this is in NO way a scam! Oh, and btw, I did VERY little exercise as I have bad knees. I also have arthritis...but I still managed to redefine some areas...and I was able to fit in smaller sizes that I never thought I would be in again. So, to all of you naysayers, you really didn't give it a try. If it were that easy, EVeryone would be doing it and this country would have no problems. As for those who say it is too expensive? Well, you are eating much smaller portions of nutritious food, ounces instead of pounds - it is cheaper than a doctor's bill, and cheaper than medication, by far. Veggies are cheap in the summer, and frozen veggies are cheap all year long...there are lots of blogs and recipes on line for this program. You have to be creative and WANT to do this...REALLY want to do this...see you slimmer!

Cindy: This diet was great and worked really well. I was mentally prepared for it and went into it whole-heartedly. I lost 35 pounds in 7 weeks. I was never hungry and ate a lot and almost didn't want to eat everything I had to. The only thing was it took me a lot of time to cook everything I needed to cook to do it the right way but if you do the results are fast and you feel really healthy about what you are eating. I really recommend it!

JNEWSOME: I ORDERED THE PRODUCT FROM THE AS SEEN ON TV WEBSITE 060209 I HAVE NOT RECIEVED THE PRODUCT NOR A REFUND THE WEBSITE NO LONGER RESPONDS TO MY EMAILS HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK AND REPORT THEM

Jamie: Well about five yrs ago I did the 6 week body makeover. I was impressed to say the least. I did not follow the workout plan because I personally was a bit lazy. I did how ever follow the food plan and I went with the rapid results plan. I did have a few slip ups and I wrote down everything I ate. I lost 26lbs in the 6wks. I felt better and I looked better. I will be doing it again since I have gained the 26 plus more but thats has nothing to do with the diet itself...its me :) It really helped me to understand food thats perfect for me and it wasnt awuful food either. It was healthy.

aftab: hi i want to order this product but im in big delimma................

Rachel: The 6WBMO does work. You truly have to make it work for you. I went on it and lost 18LBS in 4 weeks. I have since lost an additional 10LBS (I had about 40LBS to lose) using Paul McKenna's I can make you thin technique - Eat when your hungry, Eat what you want, Eat Slowly, and Stop when your full. The truth is if you finish the 6 weeks and then go right back to eating the same way you were eating before you will gain the weight back. I learned that by doing proper portions I was able to eat anything I wanted (Fast food included) and maintain my weight loss and not feel deprived. My recommendation is to use this to boost weight loss and then maintain it by doing portions. Hope this helps...

kem: i have nothing but good things to say about thee six week body makeover i lost 35 lbs in six weeks you just have to tweek the program i suggest you search out some low sodim marinades for your meat stonewall has some 5mg ones for your raw veggies i did add a little himalayan sea salt and used some ghee CLARIFIED BUTTER TO COOK AND I STILL LOST THE WEIGHT VARY YOUR FOODS I AM A C BODY TYPE I EAT FISH SHRIMP TURKEY BREAST EXCLUSIVE I RAST MY FISH I WSTIR FRY MY SHRIMP AND MY VEGETALES WHICH IS MOSTLY KALE AND IT IS DELICIOUS THIS IS MY SECOND TIME AT THIS AND I GOT IT DOWN PAKED DONT GIVE UP LEARN TO COOK AND GET LOW SODIM 5MG MARINADES FOR YOUR FOOD AND YOU WILL SUCCEED

Nancy: My husband and I have been doing the 6 week body makeover since April and this is September, nearly 5 months. We each lost about 21-23 lbs within the initial 6 weeks. If you stick with the diet exactly you will lose what the say. I have at this point lost 44.5 lbs and my husband-42 lbs. We stick with the diet 3/4 of the time. There are times when we eat out or at a function then get right back on it. If you want to lose weight and feel great this diet is for you. The initial cost is alot but it is worth it. It doesn't cost any more to eat this way than eating quick food, junk foods, and take-out. My husband is at the maintaining point. I still have 30 lbs to go. I am no longer taking blood pressure medicine. I can't wait to go back to the doctor in October and see what my blood work will show. Give it a try. It will work!!!

Anonymous: I did 3 6-week rounds and lost 50 lbs. That's a solid 50 lbs. Not water weight! Not glycogen muscle stores or lean body mass!! What I can determine was solid fat at the rate of 2.5 lbs. per week. Michael taught me how to breathe while I walked. I walked 2 miles every other day and did deep abdominal breathing the whole way, 4 steps inhale 2 steps exhale AND I bought a sport watch to check my heart rate to stay within the fat burning zone the whole way. Tough at first, it's easy today. After 18 weeks, I'm ready to move to a light jog. My blood pressure has plummeted! Cholesterol dropped from 225 to 169. I used those exercise bands and spent lots of time organizing the exercising routine to be efficient. Michael says to pay close attention to the loss of body inches; so I kept a biweekly list on a spreadsheet. My hips dropped 8 inches, my waist 7 inches. My happiest day was the day I was walking and realized my arms were swinging lightly within bumping into fat hanging around my bra. That fat was gone! So cool. My shadow has changed so much in 18 weeks!! Food is actually CHEAPER when you cook large quantities ahead of time and keep stashes in the refrigerator. I did up chicken breasts in pineapple juice or marinades cut up into 2 oz chunks on a postal scale, cooked up 16 half cups of rice in a shot, 2 dozen egg whites in a shot, and baked up whole potatoes cut up in 5 oz. chunks and refrigerated. Easy as anything once you get the hang of it and acquire the habit. I'm stopping now because I want to consider some things that have happened to me: 1. I have experienced quite a loss of head hair which I think is because I have eaten virtually no fat for 18 weeks. I'm very gradually adding fats back mostly from omega 3 fish oils, Barlean's borage and flax oil, 1 tbsp. a day; avocados, cashews and almonds, etc., all healthy FATTY ACIDS, not chicken fat or egg yolks. 2. I want to reduce at a rate of 1 lb. or so a week now to control skin sagging while I increase weight training at the Y. I'm learning to increase my caloric intake to about 1800 - 2000 a day with the emphasis on CARBS!! I don't want to lose these last few pounds as quickly AND I want to be left with a solid eating style I can enjoy the rest of my life. Putting fatty acids, not FAT back, is very important. I will not eat salty foods, sugary foods, or empty sodas ever again. I feel good and once I grow my hair back I'll be overjoyed. Better to be bald than dragging around 50 pounds for what? A hairy round head on a fat round body? Forget it!! 50 pounds gone forever with a life style of good habits, thanks to Michael Thurmond. I'm very blessed, but it was also because I was willing to work hard, discipline myself and learn new skills.

Ruth: I tried this a few years ago. You must discipline yourself to keep with the program, and you must be able to cook. The results I got were the best I have ever had on any weight loss program. I can't recall the exact weight I lost, but I know I did go down 4 clothes sizes in 12 weeks. You definately need to commit to the program and stick with it for it to work.

kathy: It really, really works. BUT you have to follow the INCREDIBLY strict rules to the letter. No fat, no sugar, no salt, no dairy, no carbonated soda, no bread, no pasta, nothing but white meat, potatoes, green veggies and fruit. BORING. Lots of exercise. I lost about 30 lbs before my wedding. but I couldn't do it again. I was so hungry and sad about not being able to eat.

xarmychick: I just purchased this kit on E-Bay and I am excited to get started. From what I have read, I think this is what I have been looking for. I grew up in Japan (I am not Japanese, I am African-American) and their country does not have a lot of fast food or processed foods, and they eat freshly prepared meals everyday. I never gained a pound in the 16 years I lived there. It wasn't until I joined the Army and was stationed in the U.S. that I packed on the pounds from eating out and constantly snacking. I also became an emotional eater. Here I am, 80 pounds heavier and arthritic. Thank you to those of you who acknowledged that the plan takes effort and a change of attitude. I am totally prepared for whats to come!

Some dieters respond well to highly structured diet plans, but others do better when their health and wellness plan is customized to cater to their unique needs. A weight management program called the Six Week Body Makeover is on the market for those looking for a comprehensive set of resources to support their individual weight loss goals. The package comes with a variety of books, videos and guides to meet the needs of all kinds of dieters.

 Program
Before actually diving into the weight loss program itself, the company asks women and men to follow a three step evaluation, which enables dieters to figure out what their unique needs are. The first step is to figure out our blueprint, or our metabolism type. Next, dieters are instructed to figure out a diet and fitness plan to support their goals. And finally, the third step finds dieters embarking on their health and wellness program with a variety of resources.

 Qualities
The Six Week Body Makeover program is intended for those willing to commit to the plan for six weeks, after which the company says dieters may find that they have lost up to 30 pounds. There are many different components to the weight management package, including the Quick Start Program, the Customized Eating Plan, Your Customized Recipes, a Personalized 18 Minute Body Sculpting Program and a Living Lean Program. These resources include diet guides, fitness resources and other materials to support the plan.

 Price
At this time, dieters are able to sign up for the Six Week Body Makeover program and the variety of health and wellness resources, for a one time fee of $119.94. The products can be ordered online directly through the official website. In addition, the company offers an option for those who would rather purchase the package with six payments of $19.99 each.

 Final Facts
The Six Week Body Makeover package comes with many different resources to support dieters’ weight loss goals in many different ways. With books, DVDs and even access to online tools and resources, dieters will find plenty to keep them occupied and focused on their diet and fitness plans. The fact that the program is marketed as a customizable wellness plan may appeal to dieters even more, especially those who have not had great experiences with traditional, cookie-cutter approaches.
