The P.I.N.K Method?? Does it work or a scam?

I think I saw some of the results demonstrated on The Doctors, but I can't help but be a little skeptic on it. Just because it was demonstrated on a TV show does not mean that it would work for everyone. I don't know, it just hangs heavy over my head, the way that it could affect a lot of people, including people who might have medical conditions that this could affect...

I don't know much about it, but I had an employee come into my office today (I am in wellness) to take her measurements to see her progress with this method. She has lost 27 pounds in about 3 months. Seems to be working for her.... I am on the internet to research this now.

My cousin is doing the PINK method and doing very well on it. I dont really know the details of the plan but she loves it. She has posted a few pics of her meals on FB and they look delish. She says her daughter even likes what she is cooking. She says the exercise is kicking her butt lol.

I feel compelled to respond. It's not "quackery" at all. It makes total sense - eat right and exercise! Isn't this what EVERYBODY says?

I have been on the Pink Method since it debuted in November. It DOES work, it's NOT fast, and it is totally healthy and do-able, especially with the beginner modifications provided for every exericse. The workouts are hard at first because let's face it, the great majority starting on ANY healthy lifestyle are NOT fit and healthy! Let's admit we're couch potatoes and move on. Of course you're going to need to get in shape and shock your body out of its peaceful and unhealthy slumber! I absolutely cannot imagine anyone NOT liking this program, unless you love being fat, lazy and unhealthy. PINK works diligently to get processed, fattening, sugary, chemical-laden foods out of our and our family's diets and encourages us every step of the way to eat whole, real foods. I have never seen a program as complete and concise as this one. The creator has taken all of the guesswork out of getting fit and healthy. The meal blueprints are a guideline to be followed exactly or make your own substitutions if you don't care for the suggested menus. For some women, following the suggested menu exactly is the only route to success; for others, it is possible to make smart substitutions and still succeed in the program. Everybody is different, which is the true beauty of the Pink Method. It is designed to lead each of us to our healthy, fit best selves. If you're not willing to put forth the effort, you will NOT get the results. Isn't this true for anything in life? You will get out of it exactly what you put into it. A half-baked effort will yield half-baked results. Of course there are tons of factors figured into each individuals weight loss - age, genetics, prior weight loss experiences, physical fitness level.... These factors will, in part, influence each persons rate of weight loss, but it also depends on how much effort you put forth. You're not ever going to get healthy, fit and toned by sitting on the couch, watching tv all day every day. A bit of output will be required. If you really think about it, what is an hour-long workout out of your day? Most people spend much more time than that either sitting at a computer (for pleasure) or watching tv.

I do not understand what is "quackery" about eating healthy and moving. If you are looking for a lifestyle in which you eat high fat, high carbs and high calories, this is definitely not it. If you are looking to shed the unwanted pounds, look and feel better about yourself and your appearance, this is the best (and only) way to go, in my opinion. I've tried TONS of weight loss programs, fad diets and gimmicks, but honestly if I am required to buy their specific foods (processed, stocked with chemicals and unhealthy, I might add!), and find my own way to a healthy workout system I can enjoy and stick with, I won't stick with it nor will it be sustainable for life. In other words, the majority of the programs require that you eat THEIR food (of course, they make more money that way!), don't give you any help in finding exercises that will work for you. My favorite aspect of PINK is all of the "body shockers" that are built into the program. Plateau busters, progressive phases within the program, and maintenance when you've reached your goal weight.

If you haven't tried it, don't knock it. If you have tried it and for some odd reason didn't like it, I wish you the greatest luck in finding a program better suited to success.

That's not an exercise and eating plan, it's yet another fruity religion based on buzz words.

It can both work AND be a scam.

I just can't mind my own business.
Any diet should in clude protein fat and carbsor you can't follow it forever. Take it from a yo-yoer, as long as it takes to loose it is how long it takes to gain it back.
My favorite thing about MFP is it focuses on the goal 5 weeks from nownot 7 days from now. A grown-up should aim for 1-2lbs a week. I put my "in 5 weeks you wil weigh on my calendar and i have hit all the goals.
But pink is a great color,and I encourage anyone who is trying to get healthy.

Don't usually post on this board but I have to chime in and defend the pink! Yeah it's a little gimmicky, but I did it for five months straight and it got me into the best shape of my life. The workouts are real, and hardcore! I am a little sad it didn't catch on more, actually, I guess people think its a fad. I will do these DVDs for the rest of my life, after doing them, level 3 of 30DS seemed easy.

I used it and loved it. And it does allow for fat - some low fat dressings or extra virgin olive oil. Honestly it was the best workouts of my life, with the best nutrition I've ever given my body. I'd rather do this, then go back to sitting on my lazy butt eating junk food all the time. That probably damaged me more than this ever could. I'm also tired of hearing it's restrictive in what everyone seems to think is the worst sense. Yes, it is very specific. But it's the only "diet" I've ever heard of that allows one to consume unlimited veggies in between meals to help you not get hangry or want to create a snacrifice. lol.

CHANGED my LIFE! Again like any program you get out what you put in. You have to make the decision to change, and keep making that decision every day or you will fail, just like I did....many many times! I went from barely being able to do the moves in the first phase to being able to do the full 80 minutes at the end of the program.....and LOVING IT!!! Every day I had to choose to get out of bed to do it and not fall back on bad habits. Sticking with the meal plans is a MUST, and although I am NOT as strict as I was on the program I still integrate most of what I learned. I lost over 40 lbs and went from a size 16 to a 6 during the program. It was INTENSE but I kept at it because I knew I would be kicking myself if I didn't. I started the program because a friend had MAJOR success, and many have followed because of mine. Choosing to change beyond the 3 month program is key, maintaining by exercising and making better choices for eating is what will keep the weight off. After PINK I started Chalean Extreme and LOVE THAT too! If you love strength training it is the one for you!
