You will find out a lot of information on the Provida chat forum. I'm a member there too, but frequently, the
Body Makeover Specialists chime in and I'd like to know what the average user thinks instead. I enrolled on this site since nobody is trying to sell me on anything and I thought I could get more rounded feedback.
Basically, it's no added
fat, salt, sugar and no dairy. I thought I would have a problem with the no dairy, but I didn't. The salt was the hardest to give up, but I got over it by the 3rd week. These restrictions are during the reduction phase, so once you reach your
goal weight, you incorporate some healthy fats and other foods back into your
diet.
You eat 5-6 small meals a day (ever 2.5-3 hours). You make your own food. They strongly encourage you to eat whole, natural foods. I no longer have anything in my freezer. The only "processed" foods I have no are my no salt added tomato products, some condiments and my low sodium tuna. Everything else I buy is fresh. I take my vitamins daily and suppliment some calcium for the dairy I'm missing. I honestly never ate so many vegetables in my life.
You actually get to eat potatoes and rice on this plan. I had experience with Potatoes Not Prozac before, so this seemed okay to me. I lost my weight and I feel healthier than I have been in ages, so I have no complaints!
You can find it some places as low as $90 (with shipping). If you are serious about losing weight, mentally ready and really want it, this is a good program for you.
