Is the 6 Week Body Makeover a Scam?

By Rico Kidd

The 6 Week Body Makeover by Michael Thurmond is an eating program that states that the user will be able to lose up to 30 pounds in six weeks. Like any prudent consumer, I performed research on this product before I purchased it.

One un-happy person that has done the program can make thousand other people not buy the program. All they have to do is post their negative opinion on a consumer review website and people will flock to the site, read the post, and ultimately be discouraged that the program doesn't work. Note that in any program, you will always find people that can point out the imperfections. Some people are just born to complain.

I would like to give a fair review of the of the body makeover program as I am currently on this eating plan and have enough knowledge to give an un-biased review. I can say that my review is un-biased because I'm not trying to sell you anything. You will not see any affiliate links to a product within this article (this diet does not have an affiliate program). There is absolutely no benefit for me, except to share a rebuttal towards all of the negative complaints towards this program.

The important question is, "will you lose weight on this program?" The short answer is, yes. However, this eating program is not like other diets. Once you start the program, you will be on it, for life. This program is about making over your body for a life-time, not just for a short-term weight loss project. If you want to lose a few quick pounds and go back to your flabby self, I suggest you try another fad diet. If you want to lose weight and learn how to keep it off, then do this program.

I have read a lot of complaints and the majority of them state that they in fact lost weight on the program. I am confused why they would complain when the program did its intended purpose. One of the major complaints was that the diet was too restrictive and that people left the diet because it was "too much, too fast". Yes, the diet is restrictive in the fact that you aren't allowed to eat sweets and junk-food. This program is intended for people who are willing and wanting to lose weight. You should try another diet if you want to diet slowly and lose a little weight over a long period of time.

Many people complain that the diet is too "restrictive" and that you will lose too much weight too soon. Other people complain that it's "all too sudden" and that they need to "wean off" of junk food. I've learned that if you want something bad enough (in this case losing weight), you will fight and strive toward your goals. So, how bad do you want to lose weight? Are you willing to give up eating that bucket of fried chicken for a flatter stomach?

Other people complain that all they lost was water weight and that they gained all the weight back once they left the program. What they don't tell you is that they started eating unhealthy again and went back to their old eating habits. People are not victims when it comes to weight loss and weight gain. You ultimately make the decision of whether or not you will lose weight or gain weight. No one is forcing that donut into your mouth.
