Has anyone heard anything about this diet? My sister has lost 30+ lbs since the beginnning of the year on this plan. I skimmed the book and it claims to have different plans for "Protein-Fat Burning Metabolism", Carbohydrate Burning Metabolism" and the rare type that can utilize both efficiently. From the blood profile method of determining which type your are, I qualify as the Dual Metabolism, but the questionaire for people who don't have blood numbers handy, but me in the carb group. Looking at the different eating plans, I couldn't tell a lot of difference in them. Even the protein group has oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, another fruit for morning snack, and no real protein until lunch.
The plan requires you to drink one ounce of water for every pound you weigh because the water in your system provides insulation, to keep the metabolism burning fat, and without the water, your body holds on to fat for this insulation.:question: :question:
I'm very happy that my sister is losing, but I think the main reason is that she is following a plan which stresses fibrous veggies and 6 small meal a day to keep you full, but mostly that exercise is stressed, and she has joined a women's workout somewhat like Curves.
