ok revolution, you will truly understand your name when you do this plan. I've been doing it since 3/18/08 and I have gone from 165 to 143.5 this morning. also I've lost 28.75 inches!!!! I am getting so many compliments my head is swimming! AND I AM EATING!!!!!!! sometimes I feel like I am eating quite alot, as I look down at my dinner plate and notice it is not even half gone and I am full. they don't want you to skip any meals and eat every 2.5-3 hours, eating small and specifically structured meals that have been selected based on a test you take. it is WAY kool I honestly can't wait for another day I'm so excited. I'm eating SO healthy. There is some preparation of the food involved but I love it! It is WAY worth it. I am fitting into clothes I have not fit into in a long time, I've cleaned out and organized my closet and now my jewelry/accessories, it feel like I'm dressing a barbie doll now every morning. I truly wish that everyone knew about this plan and that I knew about this plan like 20 years ago. It truly is the way I will eat for the rest of my life now. Dont hesitate to give it your all.

This program works i think....I lost 16 pounds on it...the first week i lost 8 being that most of it is water weight since we cannot have salt and then after that it was 1 - 3 lbs a week. I was only perfect on plan for three days the most.

Any chance that anyone can lend me the Type B plan at all?

Please lend me the Plan B, I have done this diet before and it was extrodinary! I lost weight quickly, was never hungry and it was healthy. Since someone was kind enough to lend it to you will you please pay it forward? I just moved to California to start a new life and all my stuff is in storage in florida and I can't really afford to but another one right now. I know how to do the breathing and exercise ( I just got back from walking a mile!) and would give my eye teeth for the plans measurements and such. I am 30 pounds over weight right now and I am just disgusted with my lack of will power. I did this program about 5 years ago but started getting careless about 2 years back and alas here I am. I almost remember the whole thing but can't recall the ounces and cups etc. If you could take the time, I am really dedicating myself and this program DELIVERS! Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! I haven't heard of this plan before so- the low down:
It is a planned "diet" according to one's body, weight etc?
It requires about an hour six times a week of cardio work.
It works according to people that have tried it?
You have to send away information for a blue print for your body?
Are there any problems with buying it used if everything is still included?

TIA, not sure if this is all right, please correct/confirm!!!

A co-worker of mine had this plan years ago. From what I remember, it is a planned diet and (so so) workout plan based on your body-type. After answering a long list of questions (included in the kit) you determine your body-type (blue print) and go from there.
You can find it on auction sights online for considerably less (just make sure it includes ALL the different body types) BUT you don't get the money back guarantee.

I ordered it today... I have 35 pounds to lose and am a body-type C. I PAID THE FULL AMOUNT SO I COULD GET UPS GROUND SHIPMENT. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG THAT WILL TAKE? I'M HOPING IT'S NOT THE 3-6WEEKS!

I just ordered the kit tonight and I'm looking forward to getting started as soon as it arrives.
I'm off to read some more posts,set up my diary, take photos and measurements etc, I hope to find some buddies here for support that are doing the same plan

I have never heard of this diet before. What types of food do you eat on it? Isn't it just a reasonable amunt of intake & no junk?

when ordering the kit it asked for an extra $10 for fast postage, I didn't pay that and was expecting to wait 3-4 weeks but it arrived within 48 hours!

I am really excited about the program, It took me a couple of hours to read everything, work out my body type and menu plan.

I have to say when I read about my body type it I finally felt like someone actually understood my struggles to lose weight and how hard it has been. I get so frustrated with people who think it's just a matter of willpower or that I am lazy or undisciplined. For example I am someone who cannot lose weight on weight watchers, now i understand that it just doesn't fit my body type.

I shopped and then spent an afternoon cooking food, dividing it up into portions. Unless you are at home all day and love cooking I think preparing food for the week ahead is essential to succeed. I could not have done it without doing the food preparation. There are lots of recipes, but I have kept is simple, just cooking up chicken, fish, vegies potatos and rice. I love that I can eat potatos again!

Yesterday was my first full day on the plan, I found it easy, I certainly was not hungry! and by dinner time I could have quite happily skipped a meal but I didn't.

there is no junk food, you can eat lots of vegies, the other amounts seemed small at first but somehow it worked and I feel good this morning. I had plenty of energy and i just followed it exactly. I think I am ready to just eat what I am told to eat, because losing this weight is critical to my health

I will update with my first weeks loss, at the moment I feel quite optimistic!

Just thought I'd leave a short update for anyone interested in the 6WBM. Today is Day 5, I have lost 8.5 lbs. I had a couple of days feeling quite unwell with detox symptoms, (headaches, stomach upset) but yesterday I felt really well! I also got the OK from the DR to use the plan and to use the faster ways to lose weight.

I am finding it really easy now, I do need to send time pre cooking foods but once that is done, it's not difficult. I certainly am not hungry and i do feel that I can maintain this eating lifestyle.

I ordered this, and the eating schedule and weird combinations of food really didn't work for me in real life. I spent a month on it, and had to devote a full day a week to preparing the next week's meals. I was constantly checking my schedule, and I felt like a lab rat, and that I didn't learn anything about how to eat once I was off eating 3 egg whites and asparagus. Real life requires us to get in situations where we can't bring our own food. And the body type plans made it impossible for me to order in a restaurant a simple, healthy meal that conformed to the plan.

It's low cal, frequent meals, and healthy choices, that make for the weight loss overall with this or any other plan.

Yes, I lost weight in a month but I'd forgotten what real food looked like or how to eat it properly.

Also, a personal peeve about the exercize plan. There's no way to do this in 18 minutes with some resistance bands when you're flipping the guidebook and re-reading which exercize to do out of all the various plans.

I'd love to do the exercize plan for my body type with a trainer who leads me from one to the next, and also helps with form. Michael claims his plan lets you do this "as if he were there" but let's face it, without the trainer (or a video with the exact workout), there's so much down time it's more like 45 minutes without any verbal or visual cues to tell you about form or timing.

I do better with exercize videos where I can follow a workout start to finish without fiddling the stop and start buttons.

In my experience, a thumbs down.

I started the plan on 07/10/08 and so far I've lost 16 pounds. I eat frequently and walk or cycle for exercise. I am finally happy with something I can stick with. I've been getting some compliments about my weigh-loss and that's what is also keeping me going. It's a good plan to follow.

I just ordered the Michael Thurmon plan. I am excited to start. I am type B. I was wondering if someone could give me a sample menu for the type B. I would appreciate it. I already stopped using salt which has caused me to lose 3 pounds in 2 days.

So if I could get a sample menu I would appreciate it thanks.

Hi all,

I'm new here, and a little confused? I am very interested in trying this program, but my questuon is this; Do I need to order the very expensive package that you are talking about or can I not just by the book from Amazon.com Does the book have all the information about what body type you are and what eating plan you should follow and sample diet?



confused in Canada!

I THINK the book is called the 6 DAY body makeover which is different from the 6 WEEK body makeover kit...

I have the kit... I think the diet part is great! It gives you options for quick meals or more planned out meals... but I like the simple food plan... I'm not the type to buy all the ingredients for the fancy meals. I like that once you know your body type, it tells you what types of foods are good and bad for you specifically. For example, because I carry a lot of muscle naturally, red meat bulks me up quick and there are definitely certain carbs I'm extremely sensitive to.

I think the exercises are okay. IMO the "18 minute thing is silly." You get a little workout band with it but, personally, I think the exercises are better done with some dumbbells or in a gym and I think it should take longer than 18 minutes BUT this program is targeted toward heavier people who've probably never exercised so 18 minutes is a great start!

There are a lot of recipes that come with it and my family actually really liked the turkey chili (they had no idea it was ground turkey and raved about it lol)!

All in all, I think it's a good plan. It's your typical protein and healthy carb plan though so nothing you can't figure out for yourself and kind expensive. I think the worst part is that you get the information for ALL the body types. I think it would be better maybe if you could determine your body type before buying it and then ONLY buy YOUR body type's program instead of paying so much for information you'll never use... I've thought about "lending" mine out the friends and family for a small fee to help cover what I spent lol....
