 it's not easy but it seems to be working July 3, 2008
I highly recommend getting the book with the DVD because it really helps to see how the exercises are supposed to be done. I first got the book without the DVD and it was taking me over an hour to do the 45 minute workout. Now I see that it can actually be done in 45 minutes.
I'm only on day 4 of the plan and so far so good - I've already lost 3 pounds. I find that I am spending a lot of time preparing meals but I rarely cook so it may not be bad for someone who cooks most of their meals. The exercise requirement is tough but I'm looking at it as my personal 2 week boot camp.
that's all. good luck.
 Unrealistic July 3, 2008
The book was fine, but I found the diet unrealistic. There were too many things to buy and cook. If I had a personal chef, it would have been great! I found it a total waste of my money.
 I am not fit. June 13, 2008
I have had to begin at the preparation stage of this program because I am not in the best physical shape. I am not over weight, I just have not done any sport activity in some time.
But, upon beginning the preparation stage, after only one week I have noticed a bit of improvement in my strength. I am therefore quite hopeful that upon continuing Mr Kirsch's program I can only improve.
Since I am living where weights are measured in kilos, I have elected to begin with the one kilo weights. I found 1.5 kilo weights to be too heavy. (I am also a musician and did not want to take any chances on damaging my arms or fingers). The weight I selected is working quite well.
BEST Diet Plan by Far March 10, 2008
If you are really determined, disciplined, focused and motivated you will be able to loose 3 - 5 kgs in 2 weeks. I have been through a lot of diets and this one is by far the most effective and healthy. Although its for 2 weeks I did it for 4 weeks and lost 5kgs. No kidding! And remarkably it stays that way. Of course you can go on eating like a pig after but that's the beauty of this diet, you wouldn't want to. Combining with heart pounding sometimes torture routine and good food plan, its the way to go for ultimate weight lost. You will feel totally changed. You will feel your stamina improve, yoru complexion better and your muscles starting to develop. Most importantly your body mass will drop. Excellent way to loose weight on a long term basis.
Great plan & workout - I'm a believer! January 30, 2008
I've been on the low carb lifestyle diet for years now (lost about 70 pounds total and kept it off for 8 years now!) and was eager to learn about this low carb program which combined diet and exercise. I've been doing various exercise programs at my town and work gyms but was looking for something I could do at home when I couldn't get to the gym. I'm happy to say that this exercise program is great! I don't follow the exercise or diet program strictly: I do eat egg yolks and don't use whey protein shakes (they're tasty but the whey protein (and dairy) makes my skin break out). Also, I don't exercise as much and as often as recommended in the book, but I am pretty strict about restricting my carbs and exercising using both the DVD and cardio on most days. While my weight hasn't really changed after 3 weeks, I have noticed my measurements have gotten smaller and I am getting more toned even though I "seriously cheated" on my diet several times. This is the first time that I've used a stability ball and a medicine ball and I love working out with them! I'm not able to do the "boy" pushups yet, but am hopeful! I think the DVD exercises are great. The only suggestion would be to have the warm-ups as a separate menu choice. (Right now they're part of the cardio-whole body workout.) He doesn't go too fast or too slow in the DVD - seems just right after getting familiar with the exercises. And I feel WONDERFUL when I'm done - ready to start the day with lots of energy! I'd recommend this diet and exercise program to anyone. I really am a believer in the low carb lifestyle/cardio and strength training exercises! I have lots of energy and I don't drink diet sodas, alcohol, caffeine, tea or juices - only water. I'm not planning on introducing many carbs into my diet over time - maybe some healthy carb vegetables and lower carb fruits so I'm going to stay pretty strict, but may do his later phase cheat meal once a week. One thing I like to cook with is ground chicken (he likes ground turkey) (making a beanless chili with low carb vegetables and canned tomatoes) and I like tofu (which David doesn't like much) and I also came up with using canned pumpkin with cinnamon too, sometimes mixing it with firm tofu. Another treat I've added is that I also sometimes mix cocoa powder with cold water for a chocolate treat. He recommends almonds, which I LOVE, but they're a trigger food for me and are hard to stop eating, so I try to eat them only on rare occasions. Dairy is also a trigger food for me, so I probably won't introduce it either except for an occasional cheat meal. I like the concept of a cheat meal once per week in the later phase; it helps to prevent boredom and should help prevent binging/going off the diet completely. I really like the way he used the ABCDEF term for the initial phase- avoiding alcohol, bread, caffeine, dairy, extra fats and fruit - easy to remember and keep in mind. So while I really, really like his diet plan, I have modified it slightly to fit my lifestyle/body better. This is NOT an easy diet/exercise program, but it is very effective! I'm a LOW CARB and exercise fanatic! In short: I highly recommend this book, his program and the DVD!!! Thank you so much, David!
