Review of Michael Thurmond's Six Week Body Makeover Plan From Diet Bites Reader Fran

I am 51 years old and went into early menopause at 44. I had been a vegetarian for a good part of 28 years. When I hit 44 and not really thinking of menopause I had gained weight. I am not a heavy person , I am 5,1", always weighed 98 to 100lbs and have a very small frame. I am not bulimic or anorexic, have not written to anyone before about diets, not obsessed, so when you read on please get she's got to be kidding out of your thought process and hopefully read on and I am also active and health conscious. I am not one of the people that has to go thru all the things most people do when dieting, except I have a huge sugar habit. Well anyway I went up to 118 within 2 years, now mind you that is alot of weight for my frame (all relative) I don't expect to be 98 lbs obviously but I had (no kidding 29% body fat) I was fat for the first time in my life, for my size and my frame. So you would think well no problem she should be able to lose that quickly. Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So for the next 5 years I proceeded to do anything I could to get my metabolism, hormones etc back to normal, engaged in working out with personal trainers etc etc. Stopped being vegetarian 3 years ago, started more low carb protein based eating and lost 5 lbs. lbs. mind you over 2 years, still hormonally not great because if I even looked at a bowl of pasta or sandwich, boom 5 lbs came right back.

So I investigated Suzanne Somers, didn't work for me, southbeach, thought I would die in the first 2weeks lost only 3lbs and gained more back as soon as I started eating normal. My normal is good by the way not bad.

Then I came upon Dr Perricone's work and yeah!!!! something clicked, appropriate fats , good grains lifestyle change made so easy because I cook and take care of myself anyway nice refinement to what I was doing already, so no problem and I love fish etc. So Got to 110 and pretty consistent, but I knew even with exercise not able to lower body fat percentage
only went to 27% body fat and still slightly uncomfortable and bottom heavy.

Then I saw Thurmond's book 6 day Makeover. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My type is c according to him, and I believe he is on to something important because everyone is different and even though I am not a heavy person doesn't mean I may not be overweight for my size and frame. I love eating and his plan allowed me so much food and I felt great eating my brown rice again which I wouldn't look at before because I would blow up and the way he combines things has worked well for me. This food is so easy for me to have because I have eaten similarly with grains and vegetables in my vegetarian years and with now being a meat eater no problem to cook, His book has wonderful recipes and the most important thing I have to comment on is that I have curtailed my sugar habit. (don't get me wrong I indulge occasionally) but I really have no
urges like before. The word SATIETY is really true with his work. Also able to drop another 4lbs over 10 days (this has never happened to me) and so far I am remaining at 106-7, but feel great. No torture, just good food and appropriate for my type.

Now I have only read his book didn't order the plan am looking to see if I need any more info so saw your site online and your positive review and now may order it, for his support and workouts, still need to tighten up a little more and down to 25% body fat. So I think this is it for me, I have finally after 4 years searching everywhere, trying everything, this is for me.

I am also writing because there are people who only need to lose 10 lbs, who can't do it for years, who need to get into balance and we're always looked at as slightly neurotic. We are health conscious people who also need help in refining as we get older. we need the right changes not so we can have a adolescent body, but for us to maintain our health. Don't discount the 10 to 15 lb overweight small people out in your comments, we gain weight too, although sometimes being looked at being ridiculous, or it should be made easy. It isn't so this has been a 5 year thing for me for a big 5-6 lbs that will stay off I believe with his lifestyle changes.

So Michael Thurmond I say Thank You from the bottom of my heart, you were the missing link, this is not a diet it is lifestyle refinement and healthy eating and wish I could get a personal consult to see if there is any more refinement I can do.

Wish he had personal trainers trained by him in New York.!!!!!!!!!
Good luck to all out there trying to get healthy!
