P.I.N.K Method

skpresley20

Hey guys, I was just watching the Dr. Phil show, and found out about the P.I.N.K Method. Here's a link to the website if you guys don't know what it is;

http://www.pinkmethod.com/

Apparently it is VERY effective, and made especially for women. (so no men allowed I guess? Because it wasn't built for you lol) Women have lose 30+ lbs in 20 weeks, and they have said they saw results immediately (they were on the show, I didn't get this off the P.I.N.K site).

So I was just wondering if anyone has planned on doing it, or has done it? What are your thoughts?

hmm... it sounds kind of like a scam (the site is scary and nonspecific). If it works for you, though, that's good.

I think we all know how to lose weight (eat healthily and exercise) and it looks like this method just gives you a healthy eating booklet and a fitness dvd.

I watched that, too. The exercise part looked fine, the diet probably is, too, but I don't for a second believe the typical person is going to lose 50 pounds in three months, and I heard that from them a couple of times.

Anything that is emblazoned with the words "best new diet" and "lose weight fast" is a complete joke to me. Weight loss and healthy eating is a lifestyle change. "Fast" shouldn't be the goal. And oh look, they're selling something...who woulda thunk it?

I don't have time right now to look over that website, but my thoughts are.....if it's not something you can sustain for the rest of your life, it's not going to work. Anything labeled "America's best new diet" = gimmick, as does all of the PINK being screamed all over that website. If it works and people can stick with it, it shouldn't need marketing ploys.

...and with all the FREE information widely available on the internet...

You would think that Dr. Phil would learn after having to pay out $10.5 when he dabbled in weight loss scams the first time (http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-09-26-dr-phil-diet_x.htm).

Don't waste your money on gimmicks. Plenty of great, free info here.

The problem, for me, with the web-site, is I don't know what the "PINK method" is?? I can't "invest" in something when I don't know what it is.

What, about the program, was on Dr. Phil??

I wouldn't buy it. Those ladies seem to be sucking it in on the after photos and the plan is expensive. You're better off buying a cheaper workout dvd at Walmart (or even borrowing some from the library!) and just counting calories/eating healthy.

I lost 100 lbs in about a year and I didn't buy anything special to do it... I just wrote down everything I ate in a notebook and walked 3 to 6 miles a day.

I saw this too!
It will be on Dr. Phil tomorrow and The Doctors on Wednesday

I don't think there are any new miracle plans out there. I don't see paying 70 bucks for a couple of workout videos and a "nutrition guide." What else can a nutrition guide say except eat healthy!!!!???? The soup you have to go on at times doesn't give the recipe on the site but there are plenty of so called fat burning soups out there on line that have been around for years. I wouldn't buy it without knowing a whole lot more about the plan.

Does Dr,. Phil look all that great himself? Not to me.

LadyGhostDuchess

I always suck it in. It has been something I had trained myself to do. But I mean you can tell on those who are not sucking it in they had had a weight loss change. But with my weightloss pictures I try not to suck it in.

Exactly!

Honestly, any diet/exercise plan that guarantees that you will lose ___ weight by doing it, usually doesn't do $#!^. "Just sayin'"

MrsCon40

Anything with PINK in it makes me think of tacky, trite clothes where people pay to advertise across their *kitten*. I will pass.

I'm close to goal with the "eat right and exercise" plan - 100% done with MFP - for the princely sum of ZERO DOLLARS.

I imagine they probably tried, but none of the men they offered it too were gullible enough to fall for it. :laugh:

neanderthin

I bet after all the complicated diatribe they say to also consume 1200 calories. Magic.:devil:

dalgirly

For someone who isn't all that unhealthy to start --- losing that much weight in a short amount of time, isn't all that great.

I wouldn't spend the money (but I'm a cheapo!)

Shanna_Inc86

It has me curious b/c Basheerah Ahmad is in it and she's also in several of Jillian Michaels' dvds

As far as price...um...anything beach body is MORE expensive, yet they deliver results if followed properly; its something different.
Not necessarily for everybody but different
