  • Hi, I was sleeved 9/13. I am looking for sleeve connections too
  • I got off my lazy butt and did the negative accentuated workout again Friday. I found the workouts did well. This time, I'm going to also continue my regular fitness activities, and doing my own diet. I like his training methods and after researching them, they do seem to build muscle and strength very effectively.
  • The diet did not work for me. I wrote earlier that Dr. Darden had replied to me on Amazon.com that the diet will not work for anyone on a low carb diet in the last 6 months, however the bodybuilding/muscle building portion will work. I did build strength and muscle and dropped a size. I've been lazy in the last 4-6 weeks…
  • He answered a similar question to yours, he said that if you do it as part of your regular job/lifestyle, it should be OK. He doesn't want you to do this plus a 5 mile hike or aerobics classes that sort of thing.
  • Dr. Darden replied on the Amazon.com review: In reply to an earlier post on Jun 3, 2014 3:46:37 AM PDT Ellington Darden says: People on low-carb diets for extended time periods tend to have metabolisms that are much lower than normal. I've seen some women who do not consume more than 1,000 low-carb calories a day -- and…
  • Today on Amazon.com Dr. Darden replied to a reviewer with this comment: “as I was discussing the requirements, that the program was going to be challenging -- and furthermore, it was not for everyone... And it was not for people who had been on a low-carbohydrate/high-protein diet in the previous 6 months.” Nowhere did I…
  • I haven't exercised since last Friday. :( I've been bad. Can't today either, but I will for sure tomorrow. How is everyone else doing on the negative training?
  • You'll probably be fine. Most experts say not to go below 1000-1200. My own doctor tells me I can go 800-900 (a bariatric surgeon and weight loss expert.) You should gauge how you feel after trying it for several days. If you feel too weak, feeling lightheaded, then maybe that is too low for you. You are not going to…
  • I haven't been getting in all the walks. In re-reading, I think I still need to step up the weight amounts I'm using, I was doing a weight I could do 30-30-30, but I think I need to do weights I can only do 20-20-20 to start.
  • Wow! 10 lbs is awesome! I agree, you may not lose that much next week, the first week on any diet seems to have the greatest loss, but I'm sure if you keep up what you were doing, you'll still keep losing. I've been struggling the last few days, but each day is a new day to succeed, so I'm still trying to follow all the…
  • In reading his comments and an interview he gave to a Florida TV station, he does clarify that to lose 30 lbs in a month, you need to be an overweight man weighing about 250 lbs. For most people, it will be closer to 3-4 lbs a week. You can see the video from a link on his facebook page.…
  • Oh, the water problem is 1) I have a small bladder, I have to get up and go about every 30 minutes now and and 1-2 times at night, and 2) I'm on an inbound call center, getting up every 30 minutes is frowned on. I don't think I can drink more and not have an accident soon!
  • I got the book a couple weeks ago and started the workouts last Friday. The first workout I don't think I challenged myself sufficiently,(the weights were not high enough,) but since the 2nd workout on Tuesday, (I upped all the weights 5-30 lbs depending on the exercise I was doing) I've been feeling what is described in…
  • I was eating less than that amount, so I've been challenged to go back up to 1400, but I've been doing OK so far this week. I can't get in all the water, I'm at about 10-12 glasses, but I'm trying.
  • Those noodles can also be "cooked" by boiling for 1 minute after rinsing. You then drain and pat dry. They pick up the flavor of whatever sauce/seasonings you then put them with.
