Well, it's been 2 weeks for me on this program and I haven't lost a pound. And I've even been working out for an hour 5 days/week which includes at least 20 minutes cardio followed by 40 minutes of strength training. I had been on a plateau for 5 weeks prior to starting this, so I thought this might be a good way to break through that. Nope.
The program has you eating 3 meals a day plus two snacks inbetween. The gist of it is keeping your meal portions small, with less fat and more protein than carbs. The daily calorie count ranges between 1100 - 1400. Most of the meals consist of a piece of grilled chicken and two sides of veggies. Sometimes they replace the chicken with fish or beef - but always two sides of veggies. And the sauces that they provide to add flavor to the main protein dish are really a treat. One thing I like is that you start off each day with hot chocolate for breakfast. I guess the logic is to get in your sugars and sweets in the morning so that you can burn them off during the day. But I look forward to breakfast coz of the hot chocolate alone. :-) I find that I rarely crave carbs of sweets on this program.
Overall, the food is really good, but it's too expensive a program to have paid $585 for 3 weeks worth of food to have not lost a pound. I was hoping to break through my plateau with this program and to finally learn how to eat healthy. I learned the latter, but I would be more convinced if I'd have actually seen some weight loss. Back to boca burgers for me.
