A coworker of mine is on this diet.She has lost about 11 lbs on this diet in 2 weeks. Anyone out here on the Disboards heard of this before...pro /cons. I think it is mostly protien with veggies and select fruits ...no carbs! Thanks:)
 
is it similar to Atkins? my experience with Atkins is great pound droppage, but every pound returns after transitioning back to normal eating of carbs
 
I PM'd the OP -

This is Michael Thurman's 6 Week Body Makeover program. It is no dairy, no sugar, no white flour, no condiments (well there is a recipe board where you can make your own) no salt, no caffiene...

you eat 6 meals a day - per your 'body type' (the program gives you a list of questions and you are either an A, B, C, D, E) that lets you pick your food menu based on your body type - it would be easy to say that the main protein is fish - but you can have turkey, chicken, and beef - inmeasured amounts... egg whites are big protein, as is oatmeal (or grind it and use oat flour)

Its restricting your caloric intake as well (even with the 6 meals, the portions someone figured was giving between 1,000 - 1400 calories) The exercise plan is very sound imho - and they have a great support group online...

it works - IF you stick to it!
