I am 5'1 and went from 118 down to 114. I did cheat a tiny, tiny, bit. Cheats were sugar free creamer in my coffee, a tiny bit of spaghetti sauce on my rice, turkey & veggie combo, etc... Nothing too outrageous, lol. I really didn't feel hungry and was motivated to stick to the diet since it was only 6 days. I did the diet from Sunday through Friday and Saturday I was off the diet. I have tried since and have had trouble sticking to it due to a bad habit I have of waking up and eating in the middle of the night! I have finally stopped the night eating and am ready to try again! If you can force yourself to stick to it, it does work! I tried this last year and lost 4 lbs in one week. I am 5′1 and went from 118 down to 114. I did cheat a tiny, tiny, bit.

I know the diet works, I just have to re motivate myself to stop giving into stress and give up the goodies, and organize my food and get back on program! Thanks, Kalisa Hi Mary,

Just found this site today, trying to help a friend with the 6 Day Mini Makeover. Just to let you all know, the6 Day Mini WILL work and if you have more to lose than 6 days will take, I HIGHLY reccommend the 6 Week Body Makeover kit. I purchased it in January and started the program on 1/21/08. As of today, 10/24/08 I have lost 76 pounds and I have found it to be pretty easy. The first week is the hardest, but once the weight starts to come off, the motivation increases 10 fold. I went from a size 16/18 at stores like Lane Bryant and Avenue to a 4/6 at places like Abercrombie, Gap, Hollister, etc. The biggest change of all, regardless of size, is that I am HAPPY. I like myself again. My biggest piece of advice if you do it -- if you "fall off the wagon" don't think you have failed. Jump right back on, drink extra water for a day and workout just a liitle bit longer and you will not see any change! Good luck to you all! Hey everyone!

The 6-Week menu is much more varied, you can vary your whole carbs, low-fat proteins, vegies and fruit. When I was doing the 6-Day Mini Make-Over by the end I thought I would cry if I had to eat anymore chicken! Kalisa Hi Ashley,

Anyone out there a body type E? Please share your results! It makes TOTAL sense when I think about my eating habits vs. weight fluctuations, even when working out as hard as I do. I try often NOT to eat so I will stay thin and it works for the most part, until I work out and then find myself STARVING!! And we all know what happens when we feel starving....everything goes out of the window! :( How different from the Mini 6 day menu from the 6 week one? Anyways, started the 6 day one today, so we shall see. Need to lose about 8 lbs. The hardest 8 lbs ever!!! ugh!!! Any advice from an "E" would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! God bless everyone! :) Hi! Anyone out there a body type E? Please share your results!

I think maybe she gives it somewhat on the website here. However, if you buy it you'll have your own little binder, menus, all the info, etc, as well as both the 6-day and 6-week plans. I have to get back on the plan myself! Been junking the last few days, had visitors, it got me off track... Keep in touch! Kalisa Rosalund,

I know that I am not the type to follow any diet to the absolute letter I need a smidge of wiggle room. If I can loose 2 or 3# a week that will be better than this 260# stand off. I have not lost a pound in nearly a year. Did you purchase the material for this plan or are you winging it. Rosalund Thanks Kalisa

When I did it I used stock to give flavor, and herbs and seasoning. I think you can even salt moderately, but avoiding sodium helps the weight loss to show as we don't have the water retention. Your menus are things like eggs and oatmeal (real traditional, not instant, which I cooked in rice or almond milk with dried blueberries) for breakfast, meat, veggies and a whole carb for lunch and dinner, and protein with veggies or fruit for snacks. I also often had brown rice with my snacks to keep my energy up. You eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The diet works; it's not exciting, but it's better than the 6-day one, where I thought I'd cry if I saw any more chicken! The loss is regular and faster than with just a low-cal diet. At least it was with me. I also didn't get very hungry, and kept my energy up. :) On the 6-day diet which I followed closely but not always exactly, I lost 4 lbs, from 205 to 201, I'm 49 and measure 5'3 1 1/2." Good luck!

Can you cook the rice, chicken, veggies in fat free/sodium free stock (I make my own so I know what is in there)? Can you use herbs and spices. I sure hope so otherwise this is a very,very, boring diet plan. I'm surprised anyone can stay on it for six weeks. I am pretty sure from the quiz that I am a "D" and my shape is pear. 80% of my weight is in my can and my thighs. Now that I have gotten into my 60's I also have developed belly fat (ugh) and an umbilical hernia. I've got to get rid of this weight. I am 5'7" and 260#. When I married at 18, I was at 115. It is the same old story we have all heard a thousand times. A year later I said hello to sweet baby girl and goodbye forever to 115. I havenot ordered the plan yet. I want to be sure that it is something I can actually do before I sink 140.00 bucks into it. So I'll be gathering info and checking to see how you'll are doing Is this the menu every single DAY?

I also wasn't able to do the 6 meals, I really only had 3 meals, more or less combining lunch and afternoon snack, as I didn't have breakfast until quite late, and then was really hungry after my lunch, so I added the snack onto it! :) So not a big loss, but a loss nevertheless!
