 Written on May 24, 2006 Summary: The Protein Powerlife Plan I really love this health plan!! I have already lost 15 lbs in 3 wks using this plan!! You do have to make life changes by changing your eating habits to keep the weight loss off. I haven't felt so good since I was a young kid in school!! I didn't work out at all and just by changing my eating habits and taking the right supplements, I lost weight and I feel great!! Now I am starting a 30 minute a wk workout program designed by the same authors with the help of a fitness expert and I hope to lose more and tone my body!! Written on March 24, 2006 Summary: good ideas - worth some thought This is one of the "south beach" protein-positive-low-carb-type diet books. There are very good and convincing explanations for adherence to a low-carb diet, especially for pre-diabetics, as the readers are. Overall opinion is that the "intervention" stage makes too many demands, while the "maintenance" phase adheres to good common sense. Overall, the book is good; however, it should not be adopted without the oversight of a doctor, and, frankly, we found that the "protein" diet doesn't really work well - low-carb, low-fat eating is good - it's extremely difficult to do both low-carb and low-fat. You'll notice that low fat means more carbs. The maintenance phase is the way to go. Written on January 25, 2006 Summary: Best I ever looked in my life, even got rid of cellulite This plan does work. I had always struggled with my weight. When I finally decided to eat low fat and work out I did lose most of it, but was still "soft" all over despite a grueling 5 days a week of weight training and at least 30 minutes of cardio. I figured it was just genetics and was considering lipo to get rid of my stomach which still had a bulge, and of course the dreaded hips and thighs we women are plagued with. A bodybuilder friend said my workouts were fine, too much even, and that my "low fat" diet was the problem. (WTF?) All my low-fat starchy snacks and soda were the culprits and he asked me to begin looking at empty starches the way I had previously looked at fats in my diet. He challenged me to put the money for the surgery aside and try a new way of eating for at least 30 days. He said it would be tough at first but to hang in there and see the results. The first few days were the worst. THE WORST. I craved Coke like you wouldn't believe and that was the first thing that had to go. I also missed eating starchy "fat free" pretzels and other low fat foods before bed. My first night I remember bitterly eating a salad with some italian dressing right before bed because I was hungry and I couldn't think of anything else to eat. The craving passed and I realized I wasn't really hungry, just crabby about having to give up my supposedly safe comfort foods. But I woke up the next day feeling great! I was also still working out pretty heavily and lamented after about 10 days that I hadn't lost any weight yet. However, right around the two week mark and into the third week my body finally caught up and the new pants I had bought no longer fit! I had lost two sizes! By this time the cravings all but disappeared and I actually had no appetite. My typical day looked something like this: Breakfast: Regular oatmeal made with water, a little butter and a bit of honey or maple syrup or Two egg omlet with ham, cheese, red pepper and onion, cooked in little bit of butter, with a piece of whole wheat toast. Lunch: Grilled chicken breast caesar salad (a few croutons) Piece of wheat toast Unsweatened iced tea or bottle of water Dinner: Fish or steak Broccoli, asparagus or spinach (steamed or microwaved) half a baked potato (with sour cream and butter/salt and pepper) I tried to keep baked or grilled chicken in the fridge at all times for a quick sandwhich or salad, and a pitcher of iced tea handy. Giving up soda was the hardest, but this made up the bulk of the "empty carbs" I'd been eating. The only reason I stopped this diet is because I actually lost too much weight! I will be honest, I did not follow the Protein Power plan exactly. I kept my carbs to under 100 grams a day and ate most of my carbs early in the day. I have low blood sugar and anything lower than this just doesn't work for me and leads to backsliding. I also can't use artificial sweeteners because I am allergic and react strongly to them (was tested by a doc for this) I find that eating plenty of protein with the carbs I do eat keep me feeling my best. By the way, people who hadn't seen me in a few weeks said they loved how my "liposuction" turned out :) It even got rid of cellulite. I looked THAT good after following this diet! If you can get past the first few days you should be good. Written on January 3, 2006 Summary: Time to go Back Three years ago I lost 20lbs from what I learned in this book. I felt better and had more energy than I had previously. I went off the diet and started eating whatever came my way again, excuse was I had less income, so I ate more carbs cuz they're "cheaper". It's time to go back to less carbs since I feel poorly again and have gained back 35lbs. Back to the book. Written on October 28, 2005 Summary: Lost all my pregnancy weight and more I started on this diet in May. I weighed 138 pounds, up from my pre-pregnancy normal weight of around 125-130, and try as I might I had not been able to shake those last 10 or so pounds. I now (in October) weigh 113-115, much less then I have ever weighed in my adult life. I went from a size 8-10 to a size 2 in jeans. I had tried South Beach, but I found Phase I impossible to sustain (too little in it that actually tastes good), and didn't really lose anything if I went to Phase II. I went on a self-modified version of the diet this book describes: I didn't actually count my carbs, just eliminated the really high carb foods like bread, pasta, potatoes, sugar, and some of the fruits. But I allowed myself SOME fat--in good cheese, olive-oil-soaked sun-dried tomatoes, and lots of nuts. Also, one glass of red wine a day. I also exercised on the gazelle (like a treadmill) for 1/2 hour a day. The pounds just tumbled off. I can now eat ice-cream twice a week, several slices of low-carb bread a day, etc., and I still do not gain weight. Yes it is a life-style change, but you can find tasty and easy food recipes to replace the carbs, and being thinner than I've ever been--without really trying or EVER letting myself get hungry--is so worth it! |
