can you lose weight by doing only 30 Day Shred for 5-6 times a week and eating at a deficit? or do i need to add more cardio to lose pounds ?

    When I did it, I ate my calories (1200) but didn't eat the extra that the 30DS burned off and I lost weight.

    I wouldn't eat a deficit from your allowance though.

    I agree with PP about doing Cardio as well.

    I would still do additional cardio. I did the 30DS every morning and still went to the gym 3-4 days a week to run. I never logged my 30DS. I wore my HRM the first time I did it and my calorie burn was only 180. I mainly did it for the strength training.

    I only lost two pounds when I did the shred, however I lost a ton of inches. Make sure you measure!

    I ate at 1200 and ate back my calories and I did 30DS and I lost very well with it! If I felt up to it and had time I did other cardio (just like running or walking for 20 minutes) but only sometimes.

    I do 30DS 3x/week and on the other days I do other JM videos and I run. I eat back ALL my exercise calories, and I lost 17 lbs in 2.5 months (I am currently maintaining my weight, no longer trying actively to lose).

    I have been doing 30ds ONLY that, sometimes taking the dog for a walk around my village. I also have been eating healthy and around 1400cal per day. I haven't lost weight, but I have lost inches and am building muscle and endurance! I recommend the 30ds!

    30 Day Shred will help tone and tighten-you will lose inches and yes some weight but I would also add cardio.

    Most people lose more inches than lbs with 30DS. I've lost 5.5lbs and at least 5 inches with it. I've got to measure again on Saturday, which is my last day. I ate back exercise calories, per my HRM, do it 5 days a week and do cardio one other day.

    QUESTIONs, where can I get the 30 DS, Is it one workout or a kit with several? Is there a special eating plan that goes with it other then cuting calories?

    It is just a DVD in the exercise section of most stores. Or Amazon. Great stuff! well worth the few bucks.


    You really lose the best the first time you use it. Then you can do the harder moves the next round. It is a tool that can be used all the time. Great toning. And if you add weights you can even get a great lifting workout with out bulking.
