6 Day Body Makeover



Recommended Posts

Has anyone here tried this program? I just borrowed the book from my library and started reading it. It's by Michael Thurman the guy that does all that amazing body makeover stuff with the people on Extreme Makeovers.

Originally I believe his program was the 6 "Week" Body Makeover. This one is the 6 "Day" Body Makeover. He says you can loose a pants size or up to 10 pounds in one week. I'll let you know more about it as I read the book. I hope someone out there can give me their opinion. I have lost 62 lbs. over the past 2 years with my band but have been making very poor food choices lately and have be going in the wrong direction. I thought by trying something like this is would give me the motivation I had at the beginnning of this journey. Also I figure if I could do the liquid diet as well as I did pre surgery and for the 2 weeks post surgery, I could certainly try something for one week.

Thanks

This came up on another thread a few months back. Do a search for Thurman? The concensus was don't spend your money. If you can get the book for free at the library, you are doing very well to glean to good info without spending a fortune. Good luck!! Hey, and get BACK on the BANDwagon, you!!!! (Okay, that's your kick in the pants for the day) :)

I agree that there are a lot of ways to kick-start weight loss and clean out your system for pennies. Search the internet or ask around your local health food store. Maybe if I see someone else do it, I will, too. I have some great colon cleanse pills from a health food grocery chain that work wonders for under $20.00.

      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.
