Almased/Dr. Markert Diet

I have used this product for 12 years (in Europe it's been know that long!), needless to say it really works otherwise I wouldn't do it over and over again. Mind you, this might not really be for everyone since the shake is not chocolate/vanilla/whatever flavored and since most get scared off by the fact that they don't get to eat solid food. The first day you'll have to stay close to a bathroom for about 4-5 hrs, but it benefits your body as a lot of nasty gunk stuck in your intestines will be flushed out (Sat/Sun would be good or any day off). The first time you try this the first 2 days might be tougher because you're so used to sticking stuff in your mouth, but now you don't get to - this is not actual hunger, this is your mind playing the "what you can't get is what you want most" game. This diet is great, because is gives you lasting success in little time, but is different from other "quick-fix" diets as it doesn't eat away on your muscles even though you're dieting. I don't work out other than walking my dog for 45 min. every night, if you follow the plan without cheating (with the exception of the first 2-3 days you this should never leave you hungry) you will loose 13-14 lbs in 2 weeks even without exercise, though exercise benefits your overall well-being at any time. Since this diet will get your metabolism back on track, you won't have to worry about gaining it all back (except for 3-4 lbs of water weight), unless of course you decide to go on a chips & dips, chocolate, ice cream and candy diet afterwards. Speaking of which, all those carb gravings will be diminished after being on the diet for a few days. So, all in all, if you decide to at least try it, stick it through the first 2-3 days of mind-games you will see the pounds going down the drain and be able to keep them off. Good luck!

Alma goes on the Turbo Diet

I read Alma goes on the Turbo Diet & The Turbo-Protien Diet. They were a very fast read and similar. Alma goes on the Turbo Diet was very simple in its approach while The Turbo-Protien Diet was more technical.I have tried many, many diets. I started this program last Sunday at 153pds. I am 5'7". I feel most comfortable at 130pds. As of today, I am at 145.5 (7.5pds lighter). I have a lot of energy.HOWEVER, this is NOT a diet for anyone that has never drank protein shakes. Before the diet, I had 1 a day and a protein bar. The mixture from this diet tastes much worse than a regular protein shake. I am now very comfortable with the taste. The first day was the worse--determining amounts of powder to water. I am really happy and will be on it for 7 more days. I work out 30-40 minutes a day normally and still have the energy to do so.Good luck.
