Body Reset Diet??

I bought the book and have been on the plan for 12 days. I have lost 8 pounds and feel good. The shakes are not that bad at all, although I won't lie, I had problems getting the "green" one down. The book has some really good nutritional information and that alone to me was worth reading. I am not starving and have more energy than before the diet. I have no sugar cravings, and am allowed to still drink my coffee which I am VERY thankful for! The shakes are really simple to make, which I do the night before so I have them ready for work. I have three more days left on the plan before I can enjoy a "free meal" and I am looking forward to that. His rule to get in 10,000 steps is fairly easy to do as I take a walk during my lunch break at work. Hope it works for you!!!

The smoothie sounds tasty, but I don't know anything else about the diet. I'd rather just eat foods I like and count calories. Sometimes that includes smoothies, and sometimes not.

A friend of mine just bought the book and I was looking through it with her. I have NEVER done any "diets" and I do what works best for ME. Funny thing is....I have been having smoothies for breakfast (partly a time issue, other part is I LOVE my smoothie) for months and the other information in the book is good, nutritious information. He is an advocate of clean, unprocessed foods, incorporating fruits, vegetables, lean protein, etc into each meal! I don't feel I could do 3 smoothies a day (and I'm not on a weight loss journey) but if it works for someone then go for it...there is no "packaged" items to buy....no "supplement" to purchase...just sound nutritional information.

Good luck!

I think people are misunderstanding the book and it's partially because they haven't read it. The point of the "reset" is to get your body back on track; not to starve yourself for 3 months living only on "smoothies". And you don't starve let me clarify. I'm getting the daily recommendation of fruits/veggies/proteins/and healthy fats with these smoothie recipes. The smoothies combine all of these components helping keep you full and give you all of your daily dietary needs.

For 5 days you stick to 3 smoothies and 2 snacks, 5 days you replace a smoothie with a solid meal, and for 5 days you swap 2 smoothies with 2 solid meals.

I'm tracking everything on here and today I'm getting in 1,200 calories of raw and clean foods for phase 1. My next phase I will be taking in about 1,400 calories and finishing the last phase at 1,500 calories. I'm also going to be walking 120 miles over the next 15 days. The purpose of the "reset" isn't to diet, it's to jumpstart your journey and cleanse your system and your palate with nutritious foods. The writer argues that those that see a significant jump start in their weight loss, tend to finish their goals faster and stronger.

I'm a fan and am enjoying it so far. It's easy to stick to. Inexpensive for grocery halls because there isn't a laundry list of ingredients you need to purchase.

How did all of this end up for you? Are you able to use it long term? My question about the whole thing is when you are done with phase 3, can you go back to eating 3 full meals a day of actual food without gaining it all right back?

I'm on day 9 and I lost 12lbs so far. I feel great and I have alot more energy than ever!

I did this last July. I lost 14 lbs. I gained 4lbs back but was able to keep the 10lbs off for the long term.

I used it as a kick start to getting back on track. Then went back to MFP to track calories.

I am on my last day of Day Five, and I have lost 5.4 pounds so far! I have not been hungry at all, and I have had a lot of energy. I can not wait to see what Day 15 brings. I am interested in hearing a review from anyone who has completed the 15 days.

2013 THREAD

I see LIS everywhere I go So given that the OP has 4 posts in a year, Ill assume she is still looking for another fad diet to "try".. go shakes!

i dont understand why you cant just eat solid food thats 'healthy and clean' . Why are you making shakes and fad dieting..

It's "blending" to make the shakes, with frozen fruit, yogurt, spinach, etc. It's more of a 5 day kick start. I don't know how I'd do this with a family. The first 5 days would be tough. My husband is traveling next week and we don't have kids, so it shouldn't be too hard for me. Then the next 5 days you have a meal for dinner. The thing that should get me through this is there are two snacks per day at 150 cals, with at least 5 grams of protein and 5 grams to fiber and no more than 10 grams of sugar. So like celery with hummus or an apple with peanut butter.

@sixtyinchesoffury see if your library has the book and we could team up!

Bumping this thread into 2014

This made me LOL.

Seriously, though, you can lose weight with nothing but a calorie deficit. I mean, it's great to replace junk food with more healthy foods, but weight loss is calories in/calories out. And I'm instantly wary of any diet plan that includes the phrases "reset," "jump start," or "kick start."

So today is day1, smoothie breakfast (apple, banana, greek yogurt, cinnamon & almonds) pretty good.

Snack at work - 1 pear and 3 slices of turkey.

Lunch- smoothie

afternoon snack - hummus & carrots

BalletBar class

Dinner smoothie
