Hello, fellow Tennessean! I'm in Wilson County, just outside of Nashville. Where're you located?
Iamworthit, the Ultimate You program is a four-phase "body makeover" based on the idea that the things we eat affect our hormonal balance, therefore affecting our ability to lose weight. It's really a lifestyle change incorporating four 4-week phases of increasingly difficult resistance training and HIIT - high-intensity interval training, as well as changing your eating habits over to an organic plant-based, high-protein diet. They also encourage using specific supplements such as a multi-vitamin with a metabolic boost in it, omega 3, green drinks, resveratrol and others. You don't HAVE to buy any of those; I didn't the first time I tried the program. I made it through the first phase and lost 6 lbs. I've started the program again today doing a day of HIIT and following one of the weekly menu plans in the book. You only buy what you need at the grocery store! It's more expensive buying organic, but it's a main part of the hormonal aspect of the diet - pesticides and corporate farming have changed our food, which changes how our bodies react to the food. You're even encouraged to get rid of plastics that you might use to cook or store food in because plastics leach estrogen into our foods, and estrogen is the hormone that makes our bodies hold onto fat!
It's pretty intensive but, if you're interested, I would encourage you to pick up the book and see what you think...
It kicks my butt, but that's what I need! Fast fixes aren't going to do me any good at this point!
Let me know if I can help with anything.
