Six Day Body Makeover
Can you see results in less than a week?
BACKGROUND
Just think, six days from now you could be one size smaller. And, the best part is that you can keep off the weight. That's the proposed benefit of the 6-Day Body Makeover. The key to this unique diet is personalization. Developed by Michael Thurmond, 6-Day Body Makeover adapts to meet the needs of your metabolism. You could lose up to one pound each day.
Having been featured on the hit TV program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the country has had a front-row seat to meet the man behind 6-Day Body Makeover.
6-Day Body Makeover is the express-lane version of Michael's 6-Week Body Makeover. You'll be working to ramp up your metabolism and cut calories quickly, so you'll be eating quite a lot more food than usual. And by more than usual, Michael will have you eating about six meals daily.
To begin the 6-Day Body Makeover, you'll learn your individual body type, how your body manages what you're eating, and how your metabolism breaks it all down, with the assistance of Thurmond's Body Type Blueprinting System. Your meals for the 6-Day plan will come from the Blueprint. Also, be prepared to follow your own Body Sculpting Routine, exercise that shouldn't take more than 18 minutes each day.
PRO
- Attainable exercise goals
- Rational eating plan
CON
- People should not be fixated on a quick-fix routine
DIET and NUTRITION
Self-motivation is key to the 6-Day formula. So come prepared and hungry. You'll consume low-cal meals with daily caloric intake not exceeding 1,200 calories, but you'll make up for it with a lot of protein. Your diet will consist of meat, egg whites, fish, fresh veggies and some fruit. With protein servings about four ounces and plenty of leafy greens, persistence will lead you to your smaller size after just six days.
EXERCISE
Daily exercise routine that lasts about 18 minutes.
CONCLUSION
Customization is the key to this plan. Michael Thurmond realizes that one size doesn't fit all. That, with a light daily workout routine and well-balanced nutrition, makes this plan very doable. Just don't get hung up on short-term results.

Wow! only 18 minutes of exercise? I can swing that.
Any details on the Six Week diet, since that is what you have to move into when the six days is over?
It is NOT 18 min. of exercise. I have the book and it is 45-60 min of cardio for 5 out of the six days. I work out all the time and even I found this tiring.
I have this system and it does work I couldn't believe how fast the first week went by I lost 7lbs in 4 days, in 4days people
The 6 week makeover is really good! It does all the thinking for you once you do the 'blueprints'. I liked that it gave different foods you could eat on your individualized plan, instead of you must eat such and such. For working people, it can be difficult to eat the amount of food the number of times you are supposed to- that is what slowed me down. I am a slim person by nature, but with age got some bulges in places that weren't appealing, this took care of that. Even my mother commented- and you know how moms are!!
I agree with Kris. On the 6 day & 12 day diet, there's lots & lots of food prep time & cooking. On the 6 day diet, you have to do 40-60 minutes of walking everyday. On the 12 day diet, you have to do hours of muscle toning almost every day along with 40-60 minutes of walking.
The book doesn't say, do you weigh the food before or after you cook it? I'll let you know how it works for a person 52 yrs of age. Exercise is the hard part of course, I work a full & also a part time job because of 2 illnesses in my family. Have to pay the bills...
I have been on this program since December 2006 and it is great! Yes there is food to prepare, but if you are not preparing your food, you are either buying processed or eating out - which is the cause of your weight problem to begin with! I've lost 50 pounds so far on this program; the exercise portion is 2 days of 18 minute toning and you eventually bring in cardio, which could just be walking for 150 minutes a week. I think before anyone judges, you should know your facts. This program is a life changing program that is customized for YOU and your habits; it is meant to teach you to eat right for YOU and excercise right for YOU. Negativity will get your nowhere in any diet and by the sounds of some people's comments, perhaps you are looking for excuses not to lose weight...Good luck to everyone!
I have this diet and have struggled with it for three months. Lots and lots of cooking and food preparing. It doesn't allow processed meats, certain veggies and carbs, and there's a lot of weighing of foods. And all of this is BEFORE you get to the exercise part of the diet.
