New plan
I’ve decided to try Michael Thurman’s Six Week Body Makeover. I ordered the kit a couple of years ago and never started because it was so much work, but I recently found it again and today is my first day on the plan. So far so good. I’m going to try and stay off the scale for at least a week and see how it goes.
Originally I was concerned because it cuts dairy completely out of my diet, but after speaking with a nutritionist and my doctor, I feel fine about it. It’s amazing how much advertisements get ingrained into our heads. Thanks you Dairy Council for making me believe milk is the best source of calcium out there, and if I don’t drink it I’ll get osteoporosis. According to the Dr. and the nutritionist it’s just not true. they said I’d be fine with a calcium supplement or good multivitamin and that they would be more readily absorbed into my body than the calcium in milk anyway. Hmm. Who new?
Also the program made the point that the purpose of milk is to make baby cows fat . . .and the purpose doesn’t change just because humans drink it. I never really thought about my skim milk making me fat, but when I looked at the label it was pretty heavy on calories, sugar and carbs. Anyway, i just thought it was interesting.
I’ll let you know how it goes after the first week is done.:)
I dont know how this program is..but I bought one of his books…something like 12 day makeover…I remember telling hubby…oh I can do this…no stressful movements for my knees or feet..this looks easy….famous last words…you better believe I ate those words fast. I really liked it..worked muscles that have never been worked before. Well, good luck with it…hope its good for you!!
Good luck. Yes, somet5imes having to get all the food cooked and preped and then reminding yourself that you need to eat every so many hours can be hard but it works! I have been on the program since Feb. and have lost almost 85 pounds. If you stick to it, it will get a bit easier and will work! If you need someone to talk to about it, just messenge me. Did you also know that there is a web site with people who are exclusively doing this program? I also talk with people on there.

Good luck with your program! Smart move talking to your doctor and nutrionist about this and not just doing it.
Several people in my office are on this diet and have had really good success with it. (its too much work for me to keep up with) one man in our office lost over 100 pounds on it and always goes back on it when he picks up a couple of pounds. Good Luck!
