Has anyone tried the 6 Week Body Makeover?

I'm watching the infomercial and it sounds like it could be helpful. I'm looking for a good plan to help with weight loss.

I just had my band replaced with a larger band and can literally eat anything. I want to try to lose the rest of my weight without being so tight that I'm miserable.

So, have you or anyone you know tried this plan? I only need to lost about 40lbs.

My aunt and I both did this diet. If you can deal with the very tight restrictions you will do well. It is a next to NO SALT, NO CARB diet. I lost 12 lbs. my first week. My aunt stayed on it for several months and lost like 60 lbs., but it became too much and she has now gained all of that back. I only lasted about two weeks. You feel full all of the time because you eat a lot, it is just VERY BLAND. You don't realise how much sodium is in our food that we don't even know about!

Online there is the Biggest Loser Club diet that works so well also. You just have to have time to get on there to plan out your menu. It gives you lists to go by and you pick from the lists for your menu. They have pre-done menu's as well, but I found that I did not like half of what they chose so I did my own. As with any diet, as long as you "go by their rules" it works, but it is hard to keep off. Weight Watchers always works great for me as long as I stick with it, but it is really hard to keep up with my diet and five kids and husband.

Hope that helps.

I am trying the 6 week body makeover. I am not super adherent to the rules though. I am limiting but not cutting out my salt and diary, but I lost 4lbs my first week. That is great for me. It makes sense that if you eat every few hours your body's metabolism would speed up and you would burn more fat and calories. Anyone else try it?

I tried it as well. It worked really well except that it was really hard to stay on. It required lots of cooking and extra work to be able to eat 5 times a day. I wish you luck on it! I can't imagine eating that much now.
