Q: Will following your eating plan cost me a lot of money in groceries (money I dont have)??

A: I can guarantee you that it will cost you less! Especially if you have been eating out at restuarants, which can really add up. Basically, fresh meats, fruits and vegetables are much less expensive than the pre-prepared and processed foods that most people eat. And since the variety of foods that are available within your individual eating program are so many, you can customize to fit your budget.



Q: What is the difference between this diet and the Atkins Diet. I have been doing the Atkins diet for a month and still have not lost any weight. I have lost some inches but the weight is not coming off. Can the 6 Week Body Makeover help me?

A: The Atkin's diet is a "one size fits all" kind of diet that includes eating lots of protein, seriously restricts carbohydrates and allows for lots of fats. In addition, the "Atkins" program is an eating plan only, it does not include a comprehensive program of fat-burning and body sculpting exercise components. While the Atkins diet has worked for many people, what is important is finding a program that works for YOU, something that you can incorporate into your life so that you can reshape your body and keep it that way.

The 6 Week Body Makeover is a customized program that combines eating, fat-burning exercise, and focused body sculpting. The eating portion of the program is based on eating the right foods for your specific body type, in the right combinations, so that you turn your body into a fat-burning machine. You will see results that transcend just losing inches; yes, you will lose pounds and inches from all over but you will reshape your body as well. In short, the 6 Week Body Makeover program will not only help you lose weight, it will help you makeover your entire body to look just the way you want it to look..



Q: I've been on diets my whole life. Have I wrecked my metabolism?

A: Absolutely not!
However it is true that many conventional diets seem to lack a basic understanding of metabolism and its importance in weight loss. I've seen people at my clinic who are eating only a single meal a day, almost starving themselves, and not only are they not losing weight, some of them are still gaining weight! Because the lack of food has caused their metabolism to shut down. What all these diets fail to realize is that you have to eat more food to stoke your body's internal fire, so it can burn the fat you want to lose.

The good news is that if you eat the right foods for your body type, your metabolism will speed back up quickly. So quickly, you'll begin to see results in the first week or two. That's why the 6 Week Body Makeover uses Body Blueprinting -- to identify the exact foods that will have the desired effect on your metabolism. After that it's automatic -- you eat only the foods that produce a consistent reaction in your body to speeds up your metabolism. That's what makes the program virtually foolproof.

If after trying the 6 Week Body Makeover you think you have a real problem with your metabolism, it's a good idea to have your thyroid and other hormone levels checked by your physician. But if you have a general concern, don't worry. Your metabolism is very resilient and will speed up quickly when you eat the right food.



Q: I read that obesity is hereditary. Am I doomed to be fat forever?

A: The tendency toward obesity is hereditary, not obesity itself.
In my private practice I have many clients who were obese and had a family history of obesity. Many of them felt as you do -- that their genes would make permanent weight-loss impossible.

But it is possible for people with a hereditary tendency towards obesity to lose weight and keep it off. I know because I've seen it happen. I've had clients who thought they could never be thin -- until the pounds began to come off. Best of all they've kept the weight off.

One of the many ways in which the program is customized is with special eating and exercise programs for people who have a history of obesity in their past and/or their family. We have many happy customers who have lost their "hereditary" weight by following the 6 Week Body Makeover program, and so can you. You are not doomed!



Q: I've been counting calories and working out for years, why am I still overweight?

A: Calories and Exercise are only part of the story.
Your body is essentially a biochemical factory and it will react to different foods differently than someone else's body. You probably know someone who can eat all they want and never gain a pound. Their body obviously doesn't work the same as yours -- or mine, for that matter. It's only natural that the foods that will increase your metabolism will be different than the ones they'll eat to achieve the same result. No diet based solely on counting calories can take into account the different effects food can have on different people.

Meanwhile, exercise programs are great for achieving many different results for your body, from weight-loss to increased fitness to strength to body-building. But you have to do the right exercise to achieve the right result. If you want to lose weight, a body-builder's muscle-growing workout is the last thing you want.

That's why the 6 Week Body Makeover is fully customized to your body type you're your specific weight-loss goals. So you are only eating the foods that will cause your body to lose weight, and only doing the exercises that will give you the fastest results for the problem areas of your body.



Q: I'm too overweight to exercise. Can I still lose weight?

A: Yes you can.
Inability to exercise -- whether from being to overweight, from injury, or just an impossible-to-overcome aversion to working out -- may seem to make losing weight impossible, but it's just not true. Many people have come to me reporting that they were completely unable to exercise. I've been able to help these people lose weight despite their discouraging situation.

The most important thing to remember is that many people are able to reach their weight-loss goals just by following the eating portion of the 6 Week Body Makeover. In fact, approximately 70% of the weight loss from following the program comes from the eating plan. So if you can't exercise for any reason -- if you're too heavy, or recovering from an injury, etc. -- you can start eating and losing weight. You can begin exercising later.

But what a lot of people don't realize is that the basic cardio exercise used on the 6 Week Body Makeover is walking. That's right -- walking! Many people who tell me they can't exercise don't even think of walking as exercise. But walking is a great exercise that can keep your body in its optimal fat-burning zone with very little of the negative side-effects of high-impact exercises like running, which (aside from causing your body to burn sugar, not fat) can be very hard on your knees, legs, ankles, hips, and back.
