The 6 Week Body Makeover by Michael Thurmond is an eating program that states that the user will be able to lose up to 30 pounds in six weeks. Like any prudent consumer, I performed research on this product before I purchased it.

Just one un-happy consumer that cries “scam!” can deter thousands from buying a product. Negative reviews of a product are very powerful and can cause people to not buy the product, even if the product does in fact work. Most people are triggered to look for all the bad reviews and complaints about a product and ignore all the positive aspects. If you dig deep enough within any program, you will always have someone that finds something wrong.

This article will give a fair review of the product. I consider myself an un-biased third party as I am not advertising anything, nor want to sell you any weight loss products. The only thing I want from you is an open-mind and a willingness to learn that not everything that people complain about is true.

Does the program work? Will you lose weight? The plain and simple truth is, yes, you will lose weight. Matter of fact, you might lose a lot of weight. I’ve been on this diet for over three weeks and have lost around five pounds. Five pounds might not seem like a lot to you, but I can tell that I’ve lost fat weight and have put on muscle. My goals are different from other people and if your goal is to lose a lot of fat weight, you will have the ability to do so.

I have read a lot of complaints and the majority of them state that they in fact lost weight on the program. I am confused why they would complain when the program did its intended purpose. One of the major complaints was that the diet was too restrictive and that people left the diet because it was “too much, too fast”. Yes, the diet is restrictive in the fact that you aren’t allowed to eat sweets and junk-food. This program is intended for people who are willing and wanting to lose weight. You should try another diet if you want to diet slowly and lose a little weight over a long period of time.

The 6 Week Body Makeover focuses on eating foods that help you metabolize calories at a faster rate. In order to do this you have to eat more food throughout the day. However, the portions that you consume tend to be smaller than what you’re currently used to. Also, the food is rather bland as you are not allowed to add salt or oil to any of the food you consume. The Infinite Meal Planner and recipes cards help you create meals that taste decent while restricting sodium intake. Another complaint is that the meal planning process and preparation is tedious. This is true in the fact that it will require you to plan and prepare your meals ahead of time. I tend to think of things positively as I realized that I ended up saving a lot of money eating meals at home (lots of leftovers). Also, when you think of what you’re going to eat ahead of time, it actually causes you to eat healthier. When you are eating whenever you feel hungry or on a sporadic time schedule, you tend to grab food that is convenient. Convenient food tends to be pre-packaged, processed, high-fat, high-sodium and generally un-healthy food.

Other people complain that all they lost was water weight and that they gained all the weight back once they left the program. What they don’t tell you is that they started eating unhealthy again and went back to their old eating habits. People are not victims when it comes to weight loss and weight gain. You ultimately make the decision of whether or not you will lose weight or gain weight. No one is forcing that donut into your mouth.
