Wow. Body For Life doesn't even say you can lose 30 lbs in six weeks. maybe in 12. If you lose it that fast does it stay oof. I am really proud of myself for taking it slow and easy this time!
Miss Chris
Definitely sounds too good to be true. Infomercials like that piss me off. They know how desperate we are to lose weight and will try to sell us anything.
I'm with you Jennelle, I hate infomercials that seem to prey on desperate overweight people. I don't believe it would work for a second.
Infomercials prey on whatever we are looking for. If we want a quick, painless way to make money, there is some sort of program infomercial out there.
Personally, I find them kind of funny, and sometimes fun to watch, but that is because I can look at them as strictly fictional and there being no actual truth to them.
Well, I once lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks... I don't know how. In 7th grade I began my venture down the long road into eating disorder **** and managed to drop 5 pounds a week for 6 weeks. I was a fat kid and not doing anything too drastic at that point, either (3 small meals a day, riding my bike 6 times around the neighborhood every evening). After that the loss slowed to 2 1/2 pounds a week despite the eating disorder taking hold and my activity increasing while my food consumption decreased...
That said... from what I know now, I'd say yeah, it's too good do be true. 12-15 in that amount of time is probably more realistic.
I was a little unclear on what you meant by the infomercial though... when I first went to that link, I clicked on the story about self-monitoring being the key to success with any diet. I couldn't agree more!
