six weeks is perfect Reviewer: MARTINA       07-28-2004 6 weeks is about the right amount of time for me. I decided to diet but I only wanted it to be a diet no more than 2 months...anything more I knew I wouldn't stick with anyways. So i gave it a try and lost 12 lbs. This was a great way to lose weight. The food wasn't too bad. It is very tolerable for 6 weeks.

5 months and still going Reviewer: Heidi       07-09-2004 I have been on this since 5 months ago, and I have lost 44 lbs. There is a Yahoogroup for this program, a very active one at that. This program is extremely strict food-wise: no dairy, no sodium, no sugar, no added fat, no wheat - just plain "clean eating" of real, unprocessed food. But I feel better than I can ever remember feeling, the rewards are much more than just weight loss. This program has been a God-send to me; before ordering it, I was preparing myself for the fact that I might always be fat. Now I am 1/2 way to my goal.

I don't recommend this diet Reviewer: Mel       07-09-2004 Try Atkins, it worked very well for some friends of mine.

Alternatives Reviewer: Beverly       07-09-2004 Weight training and some type of cardio such as walking, running, aerobics will probably give you the same results as the 6 week body makeover program.

FANTASTIC! Reviewer: George       07-08-2004 i have never loved my body more! I went from 180 to 159 in 6 weeks. This diet has taught me how to eat right and now I enjoy life more.

This Scares Me Reviewer: Carol       07-03-2004 These plans are NOT safe and don't work. You did not gain 150 extra pounds in six weeks, what makes you think you cna lose it in that time. Most plans like this rely on ephadrine supplements which can dratically increase your heart rate which could be dangerous for someone with high blood pressure. If you can afford these things you can afford weight watchers. It averages about $15 a week in the US. What you need is a sensible eating and excerise plan and to accept the fact that in 6 weeks you will NOT be 150 lbs thinner.

My thoughts, experiences on this diet Reviewer: Mary       07-01-2004 I haven't tried it myself, but I'm acquainted with 5 or 6 people who started it with great enthusiasm-- but at the moment, I don't think any of them are sticking to the program--they started at the end of May. . It requires eating combinations of foods in small amounts at regular intervals. The portions and foods are selected by the answers you give on a quiz-- which tells you whether you're an endomorph, ectomorph, or mesomorph (a body-typing concept that's been around since the 1930s, I think). I took the quiz just to see, though I already knew I was an endomorph -- and there are a lot of foods that I'd be restricted from eating -- can't remember what they are right now, but when I looked at the program, I said, "there is no way I could stick to this long-term." I don't mean to dissuade you from learning about it more -- just wanted to let you know what I've heard about the program second-hand from others who have done it. I wouldn't normally post something posted on another source, but I'll leave the person's identity out and just let you read her experience after a week of trying the program--the others stuck with it longer. Hope her words below help you decide whether to investigate it further or invest your money.

Its amazing what u can do in 6 weeks Reviewer: Jermaine       06-28-2004 I lost 14 pounds and lost 4 inches in my waist. This is a great diet plan.

Just started 6 wk body mkover Reviewer: Wendy       06-19-2004 I just started the 6 Week Body Makeover Plan this past Sunday and I was wondering if any of you have any experience with it. So far I've lost 2 lbs.. The diet itself is fairly reasonable, you eat real food which is good, although sometimes it can be a little bland but I can tolerate that.

My Advice and two cents Reviewer: Wendy       06-07-2004 I've done a few of the Body for Life challenges, those are 12 week make-over plans that involve quite a lot of exercise as well as nutritional changes. I learned quite a lot through those experiences. I don't think 6 weeks is enough time to really form a new habit. I also think you need a lot of support. The Body for Life challenge has a support site (the "guestbook") where people can really get some good feedback and some inspiration. I think that was an important part of my success with the program at first.
