Best Dieting Tool I Have Ever Used!

I thought I had tried EVERYTHING before I read this book and started using the shakes. I have lost 9 pounds in 6 days. It really is amazing and you don't feel starved. I even performed an experiment of sorts. 4 days into the diet I ate a huge meal. Instead of leaping up on the scale 3 pounds and halting my progress entirely, the next day the scale was only up .75 pounds and I was able to continue losing .75 to 1 pound per day after this. This diet really works. Although, at certain points, it is obvious that the translation of the text from German could use a bit of work, the basic premise of the book holds true. You will lose weight!!! I am just sorry I didn't have this sooner.

Turbo Protein Diet

I previously lost weight on the Atkins Diet and gained 14 pounds of the 26 that I lost back ,in about 18 months. After a while I just could not keep it off, no matter what. I read about this book and decided to see if it worked. I followed the instructions exactly and lost 14 pounds in 10 days. The first day was hard, the second was even harder, but after that I sailed along and burned fat steadily. I literally watched my various fat pads disappear each day ! I love the way I feel. Now, I highly recommend this book to anyone.

This REALLY works!

I agree with the ones who say "Don't bash it till you've tried it." This diet really does work and I'm living proof of that. I lost 20 pounds in two weeks and went from a size 14 to a 10. I can't wait to do it again in a couple weeks. This has truly been the miracle I've been looking for. I didn't believe that it would work like that, but it did. I am getting more attention from men now and I am much happier. It has freed me from the bonds of fatness and low self-esteem. I would recommend this to anyone. The book could have a few more minor details, but I found it to be quite clear. Just do what it says.

Don't knock it until you try it

I really tired of reading the reviews of the people who have never tried this diet and were bashing it. You who are so worried about whether it tastes good or not do not have the intestinal fortitude to begin with to attempt to lose weight on any diet. I have tried this diet and have lost 20 pounds successfully in 2 weeks with only a gain of 1 lb. Sure it was difficult for the first two days, but after the third day it was smooth sailing. The powder tastes like soy milk and if you are really serious about losing weight, you can deal with it and drink it. It is not a life-long diet so two weeks is not alot to ask to give it a try - that is if you aren't too busy bashing it due to the lack of courage to try it. Many of my friends waited to see how it worked for me and now are trying it because they can't believe the speed of the results. For those of you who are looking for an honest, first hand account - IT WORKS WONDERS - and of course you need to eat healthy at the end of the diet. You are not hungry and do not crave food so there will be no urge to run out to McDonalds and gorge yourself. Many people have asked me if I had the urge to cheat just once and my response was NO. Once you realize that every day you wake up there will be a noticeable difference in your weight, you are more motivated to stick to it more than ever. Those who really want to lose weight and have the inner strength - try it - and then share your reviews with others. Those who don't, keep following the Atkin's diet until your cholesterol goes through the ceiling and then, after you've gained more weight than you started at, try this - it works.

Easy weight-loss tool!

Dr. Dieter Markert, a German anesthetist and pain specialist, has studied the course of human nourishment throughout history. His studies, many of which were published in medical journals in Germany, led him to create a revolutionary diet that is based on a Nobel prize winning discovery about proteins in combination with enzymes. Unlike conventional diets, The Turbo Protein Diet does not simply eliminate water and burn off muscle tissue from the body, according to Dr. Markert. It actually burns fat. The thyroid gland function is stimulated, causing an increase in certain hormones that speed up the calorie-burning metabolism to such a high rate that no more fat can be stored. The diet's phenomenal success is based on using the body's own physiological process to achieve a healthy reduction in weight, whereby also cleansing the body. A weight loss of 6 to 9 pounds per week is achievable and Dr. Markert recommends staying on the diet for only two weeks at a time. His patients are successful at losing weight and increasing their metabolic rate and keeping the weight off. I've had great results, thanks to the book!
