Hi Everyone...
I am going on the Ultra way of eating tomorrow...will try it for four weeks. I tried it several times but could not stick to it..because of my own lack of discipline. I made a commitment this time to at least try it now with everything I have.
If I can have a Buddy on here so we can encourage each other...that would be great!
God Bless,
Rachel

Yes, I plan to the Detox part of the program. However, I hit kind of a bump in the road now. I just picked up a virus or something...feel aweful. I will have to wait I guess a few days before jumpig into the program. aagh

I am on week 7 and have lost 18 pounds. Weight loss has slowed a bit but I am feeling so much better. I haven't taken my reflux medication since I began which still amazes me. My husband and I did this together--he was the main reason we did this program because he had several medical conditions and was extremely overweight. He has lost 41 pounds!!! His bp is down 20 points and his blood work improved significantly. His doctor was very happy and you should see the smile on my husband's face :) He still has a significant amount of weight to lose and I hope to lose another 20 pounds too but for the first time we both feel like we can do this which says a lot about this program. Once you get used to the routine I think you will find it easy to follow. I have had absolutely no cravings which has never been the case with past diets I have tried. Please know that you CAN do this!!! Take it one day at a time.....one meal at a time......and before you know it four weeks will have passed and you will feel so much healthier. God bless and Best wishes on your journey!!!!

I'll be your motivation buddy. I've been on the program for 1-1/2 yrs and am slowly slipping off it. I've lost 40+ lbs but have ten more to go. I'm going to detox again and started Hyman's exercise plan so I'm hoping to jump start everything again.

I would really appreciate having a Buddy...Thank You! I seemed to have picked up the Flu, since last posting. Feel aweful, cannot keep anything down at this point.
I will be back on in a day or two when I am feeling better. I already went to the store to purchase things needed for the program. aagh...Just want to get better so I can start it!
Have a good weekend!

Page 169 of the UltraMetabolism book (the orange book). I'm doing the Advanced Interval Training Program. I'm confused though. I'm not sure if you're supposed to do both the Beginner and Advanced or just the Advanced. I assume just the Advanced but it took me less than 30 minutes yesterday which is nice but I hope I get the results I want.
thanks. I'll have to check

thanks. I'll have to check it out.
So, since you obviously have a lot of experience with the program, did you have the unbelievable transformation in the first seven days or was it a little slower than that? Did you have any early problems that you can recall? I have been struggling with digestive issues. I cured the bloated, kind of nauseated feeling with digestive enzymes but now I'm kind of gassy...the kind that makes you not fit for human company! I guess its the fiber but its getting worse not better as the days go on. Also, I'm not full of energy yet. Kind of the opposite. Any wisdom that you can share will be appreciated.

I, too, had the nausea the first couple of day and lots of gas. Are you eliminating every day? I found that if I was not, the nausea visited me. I believe I remember reading that nausea is part of the detoxing process, too. Also, I had to introduce the flaxseeds gradually as they really did my stomach in. After almost two months now I can tolorate 2 tble no problem. Lastly I did not start the supplements immediately due to some financial issues--I just added magnesium which went well and started calcium citrate a couple of days ago and bam along came the stomach distress again. I read somewhere to take the supplements with a glass of warm water rather than ice cold (which was what I was doing) and that seems to have really settled things down for me. Perhaps it is also because my system is getting adjusted. I guess that is my message.....give yourself time for your body to adjust to the changes that are occurring.. I think my body went into total shock from eating so healthy....it didnt know what to do, lol. Good luck on your journey and continued success!!!! Blessings, Laurie

I'll be honest...I cried the first two months of this diet. It was so hard. I am an emotional eater and I had to give up so many of my favorite comfort foods. I also found out through this diet that I am allergic to a ton of stuff...Gluten, dairy, flax seed, borage oil, something manufacturers put in vitamins, preservatives, artificial sweetners and on and on. But, if I follow the diet and do not eat the things I know bother me, I no longer have acid reflux, nausea, allergies (stuffed nose and wheezing) gas, bloating, insomnia, body/joint pain, brain fog and the list goes on. I apparently have a very fragile system and need to be extremely careful. It's a major bummer but I feel like a different person if I stick to the diet. I also do daily yoga, detox baths, oil massages and I've found that exercise helps my energy level. I have to say though that people who've know me a long time always comment on how good I look. I've lost 50 lbs and they also comment on my skin, etc. so I think somethings working. I am losing hair though so I'm trying to figure that out. Anyway, good luck. It does get better. Just be religious about recording what you eat and then take notes on any unsual symptoms later that day.
Sounds like you are doing

Sounds like you are doing great!!!!! I, too, am finding out that I am sensitive to lots of foods that I had no idea about. My husband seems to be able to introduce new foods with no issues at all but I am still on the restricted diet because like you when I add new things symptoms return. How long have you been on the program. I think I remember reading that if you can stick to the restricted diet for three months you may be able to reintroduce previously poorly tolerated foods in limited amounts with no reaction. That is my hope :) Wishing you continued success!!!!! ~Laurie
