Has anyone tried the 6 Week Body Makeover?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
