The 6 Week Body Makeover Diet in a Nutshell:

You may be familiar with Michael Thurmond, the fitness expert from the television show Extreme Makeover. He created the 6 Week Body Makeover (6WMBO) for rapid weight loss that includes customized exercises to reshape your body and an eating plan to speed your metabolism. Unlike many diets where all you need to purchase is a book, the 6 Week Body Makeover costs about $140 and includes a Quick Start video, a body blueprinting kit, exercise bands and exercise video, custom eating and body shaping plans, a guide for dining out, a Living Lean program and audio cassette, a recipe guide and menu planner, and a bonus 6 Day Mini Makeover. The goal is that you will lose 30 pounds in 6 weeks.

Step 1: Figure out your blueprint

By answering a few questions you’ll figure out how your body responds to foods and identify your individual metabolism type.

After completing Step 1 you’ll have a customized eating plan designed to reprogram your individual metabolism and introduce you to the 18-Minute Body Sculpting exercise routine that targets your problem areas.

You’ll start by following your unique eating plan.

The 6 Day Body Makeover

There is also the option to do a shorter, more intense diet called the 6 Day Body Makeover or mini makeover. This is a crash diet that is only to be used by the healthy to drop quick weight for a special occasion for only 6 days and no longer. You’ll eat 5-6 small meals per day and do 45-60 minutes of long, slow distance exercises, such as walking, slow jogging, or biking. Meal plans and recipes are included.

Oodora’s Opinion:

I will always have a problem with time-sensitive diets because once you’ve completed the diet within that time frame, you’re more than luckily to gain any weight you’ve lost back. And what’s the point? Many people have tremendous success on the 6 Week Body Makeover Diet and continue with it beyond the 6 weeks. The reason for success? It’s also another one of those low-calorie, high-protein diets where you consume about 1200 calories per day. This is usually too low for people who are active. of course the weight will come off if you’re not really eating.

If this diet and exercise program helps you lose weight and you are able to continue eating healthfully and keep the weight off then you’ve found the diet right for you. This diet claims to be individualized and personally customized to each person positive results, unlike a one-size-fits-all diet program.

Most nutritionists think this diet is a waste of time saying that you’ll be losing mostly water weight and not fat in those 6 weeks.
