Michael Thurmond, you’ve probably seen him on TV talking about your body model and how your genetics play a big part in your weight gain and hopefully your weight loss. She has an infomercial that airs mostly on women’s TV shows. He has also been seen on the Extreme Makeover show, his claim being that you can lose 30lbs in 6 weeks or your money back. If you figure that’s 5 pounds a week, typical clothing sizes are based on 10-pound differences, so you could say that if the program works for you, you could lose 3 clothing sizes. I know Michael Thurmond doesn’t just focus on women’s bodies, he has men in the testimonial pool, but the pressure to look like someone else is more attractive to women than men, we’re just wired differently.
The 6 week makeover is just that, a makeover of your body. Although the testimonials of people who have lost a lot of weight really get you, and sometimes they get paid to say what you want to hear, it is best to ask the public, those who bought it, tried it and lost weight. Of course, there are some who are happy that there is a money back guarantee.
Based on what ordinary people said about the show, you will be surprised. You can even answer questions you didn’t think to ask because getting caught up in the hype didn’t connect you to reality. These are some of the comments that were offered.
Some people didn’t like the food, but they found that others did, and the program worked for them. Some people were surprised by the weight loss of the people on the Extreme Makeover program. Many recipes were exchanged; people weren’t sure how to make something that was listed on the menu, it seems like people were willing to help more with that than anything else.
Some people even think that once you’ve done the 6 week makeover you should have less stress about losing weight and that’s a key component to gaining weight. Less stress, less weight gain. More people noticed that when you renew your body, you will change the metabolic nutrients that your body is used to. If you take away sugar, your body will crave it and if it can’t have it, you’ll develop headaches. Some people thought it was more of a detox diet. Supplements were suggested so you don’t take away the nutrients you need.
When you hear the word “quick fixes” or “easy fixes,” you know it won’t be. Losing weight is never easy, it’s hard and the nurses chime in and say that changing her body will result in other problems. Exercise, healthy food intake, and moderation are the keys to losing weight and keeping it off.
Many people don’t like his model, one man liked red meat but said he would gain too much muscle if he ate it. He didn’t agree with eating every two hours either. Some new moms were interested in losing weight, but some people put them off because their body type would be different due to pregnancy. It is a program customized to your body type.
A lot of people didn’t like having to pre-cook their meals, most people eat on the go so it was a hassle to prep for the whole day. Many people don’t believe in hype; they just think that eating right and exercising will work. Who needs someone to tell them that and charge them for it too?
Most people said the same thing, it will work if you stick with it, but by the time you go back to your old clothes, the weight will come back. Preparing meals was a general complaint, but it helped people change the way they ate; if they prepared the food, they were less likely to give it up and opt for easy fast food. Also, those who prepared their meals thought about how good they would taste once eaten, tasted their meals as they were being prepared, so anticipation increased.
The exercise for some people did not seem so difficult; most people thought it lacked commitment on his part. They thought it should be longer, but changing their eating habits is what most people focused on. In general, the people who continued with the program lost weight.
The pros outweigh the cons if you count the people who stuck with it. Food preparation and eating every two hours were the only complaints, but people who lost weight encouraged those just starting the program to stick with it.
