| hey... janet here.. I'm 5'8 about 220 lbs.. and ive been trying real hard to lose weight now for almost 8 months... i just had a baby girl a little over a year ago.. and during my pregnancy i gained a tonnnn of weight and much of it stuck with me after she was born, and since then the hubby has been bothering me non stop about my new weight problem... so after a few months of that, it really started getting to me so i decided to try and do something about it... ive tried almost every diet plan out there... south beach, atkins, slimfast, weight watchers, etc... and nothing so far has really worked well for me.... But ive recently come across this diet that a couple of my girlfriends put me onto that said worked amazing for them like nothing else has.... so i checked it out, it looks really good and they hav a full money back guarentee.. and im thinking about signing up for it.. but i first wanted to get some 3rd or 4th opinions on it... their website is http://www.fatloss.pcti-system.com .. and out of all the reviews ive read for it which were almost all positive, there was only one out there I could find that actually explained a little what their whole program entails and didnt sound like it was trying to sell me something... which is at.. http://frankswerdlow.wordpress.com .. Has anyone ever personally tried this program?? Any advice comments opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. thanks!! |

| Personally I think calorie shifting sounds like a gimmick. I wouldn't go for it. Stick with what the experts say works. Eat a healthy diet. Watch your calories. Exercise. There are no magic bullets. |

| I agree with Harold, and would recommend that you talk to your doctor about the healthfulness of the plans you've already tried (as they relate to your own body's needs) and compare them to your lifestyle. Most healthy diet plans will work for most people. But sadly, everyone wants to see the pounds fly off so quickly that they don't stick with a good plan long enough to see the results. For a woman, a loss of 1-2 pounds per week is really good. But that means you have to keep doing the same thing for 10-20 weeks to lose 20 pounds. It takes a committed block of time in order to see whether the diet will work for you. And yes, exercise is absolutely critical to success and improved health and body tone. I know it's hard with a baby. (I've had 4 of them!) But team up with a friend and swap babysitting so that both of you can get in some exercise time, if you need to. And planning meals--even to the point of writing out what you'll eat each day and when, even snacks--can help too. Shop according to plan and eat what and when you've decided beforehand. You'll save money in the grocery budget and guard against overeating or eating the wrong thing--which is a hazard if life is really busy and you get pushed to skip or delay meals. Then the easiest thing handy can just jump right into your mouth when you're not thinking about it and sabotage an otherwise good plan! |
