Reason Why You Won’t Lose Weight On The 6 Week Body Makeover

So you haven’t lost weight on the 6 Week Body Makeover program. You start telling everyone that the program is a scam and not to waste their money. I’m here to tell you the reason why you didn’t lose weight.
You can lose weight on the Michael Thurmond diet. The truth is, as long as you stick to the meal plans and body sculpting makeover, you will lose weight. You will start gaining weight when you divert from the plan and start adding foods to your diet that do not fit your body type. The reason why you gained weight in the first place is because you were eating the wrong foods. Once you start introducing these foods back into your diet, you will gain all the weight back and lose all the progress (weight loss) that you work so hard to achieve.
Here’s how the diet works: take the body blue print to determine your body type, plan meals based on your body blue print, plan a body sculpting plan to shape problem areas, execute plan and stick with it for 6 weeks. It’s very simple and easy to follow. The only way you wouldn’t lose weight on this diet is by not following it or diverting from the foods that you’re eating.
Most people want instant gratification. Sure, there are many diet programs and pills that can help you lose weight, but this is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. The people who want instant gratification will start a diet program and stay with it for only a couple of weeks. Within these two weeks they see some weight loss and start to reward themselves with fatty foods. This causes them to gain weight and then they give up on the program as they think the program didn’t work for them. Eating healthy is a life-time commitment and once you divert from a healthy eating plan, you will gain weight. People are programmed to give up easily and that’s why the program doesn’t work for them.
Once they gain all their weight back, they start to blame the diet (instead of themselves). Actually, it’s that person’s fault that they gained the weight back. You DID lose weight on the program, but you started to cheat and that’s why you gained the weight back, not because of the diet. Of course there are times where you just can’t control yourself and want to eat some ice cream. Moderation doesn’t kill your diet and weight loss goals; constant gratification kills your goals.
Lastly, here are small ways to change your cooking habits so that you can wean yourself off fatty foods. Also these tactics will help you stop craving foods during your vulnerable times. First off, when you cook, try and add different spices that are low in sodium to your food. Instead of adding a ton of salt to your veggies, try sprinkling a small amount of salt and cooking with a low sodium chicken stock. When you start craving sweets, drink some water and go for a walk.
