Robert Ferguson Food Lovers Fat Loss System Review

Introduction

It almost seems like you’ve found the holy grail of fat loss when you start reading about this program. The weight loss program seems to have the ability to induce strict weight loss in your body while at the same time giving you the choice to eat all of the foods that you love. Anyone that has looked at these types of programs before will feel intense suspicion instead of a sense of wonder, but both feelings are going to be very strong in nature. The rest of this article will comment on the program, allowing you to decide for yourself whether this program is worth your time.

How it Works

One thing that you need to realize when it comes to this particular system is that it is not telling you that you can eat all of your favourite foods in any amount and that is how to lose weight fast. No program in their right mind would tell you that because it is obviously untrue. Instead of that obviously untrue premise, the argument made by this program is that if you exercise strict portion control over the foods that you eat and then combine that diet with an exercise program, you should be able to experience the weight loss that you’ve been looking for this entire time.

Evaluating the Claim

Anybody with any amount of knowledge regarding the fitness industry can tell you that the above is obviously true. This is because it is not the actual foods themselves that are the issue. It is the amount of calories that you take in. If the calories that you take in equal or are less than the amount you burn off, you’ll lose weight. The actual foods are not important, but the caloric intake is. This is not particularly innovative thinking. There have been many other programs in the past that have tried the same gimmick, but most of them have failed because of a lack of discipline on the part of people that were eating their favourite foods. Unless this system has the ability to change those discipline levels, it could end up falling to the same fate as a number of the systems that came before it.

Other Points

This program keeps its cards very close to its chest when it comes to explaining the particulars of the program that they have. They will give you instructions to follow, but at no point will they really tackle the business of explaining to you why those instructions will work or why those instructions are necessary. The end result of that is that during the first 21 days of the diet, you can often feel as though you were the victim of false advertising. You will get to eat some of your favourite foods, but the portions will be so small that at some point you might get the feeling that you can’t really enjoy them this way. Things do get better after 21 days, but not by much.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Robert Ferguson’s Food Lovers Fat Loss System is not a new way of doing fat loss. The fact of the matter is that it is actually something that has been done so many times before that it has become tired in the eyes of many of the fat loss reviewers that are around today. However, it is a system that is worth trying for people that have not tried this type of system before because there is no telling what might work for someone that has been through other programs before. Weight loss is often about going through programs until you find the one that works for you, so keep that in mind when taking a look at this program.

To be honest I bought this program over a year ago and I never actually did the plan step by step but I read the information and applied small parts of it to my daily life and started work out with his cardio funk fusion and fat burning kickboxing dvds (12mins who doesn't have time for a 12min workout and there actually fun) I only do them 2 or 3 times a week sometimes more or less but just that and eating more like his plan discribes I lost 10 lbs in 3months. Writing down everything you eat and drink ()not counting calories) just simply saying I ate 3pieces of pizza and chips and blahblahblah today and keeping track of ur weight really helped me hold myself accountable for what I was eating/drink watching cals isn't bad but don't let it control ur life.

I agree with Ramona. I am a nurse practitioner with 13 years of nephrology and endocrinology experience. I just started Robert Ferguson's Food Lovers Fat Loss System and it is medically sound. Controlling your glucose levels is the key. Why do you think there are so many Type 2 diabetics? I applaud Mr. Ferguson for introducing the system in a way where you feel as if you have control while taking small steps everyday to change unhealthy habits. Too many people want a quick fix. Well Newsflash people, it comes down to eating healthy, portion control and exercising. The system teaches you how to eat and offers suggestions. The system utilizes a little reverse psychology of telling me what I can have vs telling me what I cannot have. Thank you Mr. Ferguson for creating a system that empowers people and I'm looking forward to my new lifestyle. If more dieticians could teach this system, we would have more compliant patients and less insulin dependent ones.

I find it difficult to see how my metabolism will increase when I eat every 2-3 hours. I am about 80 lbs overweight now and I already eat 3 meals a day plus a snack in betbween meals and a couple snacks before bed time. So how will my metabolism increase with this program?? If anything, I believe in substituting unhealthy foods and snacks with entirely healthy ones, like cutting out excess sugar, salt, fats especially when they contain little to no nutritional value. Portion control is a number one issue with being overweight. Overeating is an addiction like alcoholism or substance abuse. I've been on some kind of diet almost all my life and believe from 50 years of experience that I will struggle with weight control til I'm in my grave. If you want a real education of food and how it affects your weight as well as your health, read Dr Joel Furhman's "Live to Eat". This tells it all and makes you wonder why we aren't being educated properly about nutrition.

I just saw the infomercial for this diet and was interested in reading buyers comments. I'm a nurse and nutrition has always interested me. I've read a lot of material about a lot of diets but, I also understand how the body works. The most important thing to know is that you have to control your insulin levels and keep them as even as possible throughout the day. Insulin controls how your bady stores fat. Get yourself a copy of "The Revolutionary New Glycemic Index Diet" This book will cost you about $15.00 [a lot less then the program] and it will explain exactly WHY it works, how it works and you really can eat almost anything. The glycemic index will tell you what foods effect your insulin levels and many of the foods that you think will throw your insulin levels for a loop actually won't. My husband in diabetic and we both love this way of eating. It sounds like Fergusons program is based on the glycemic index. If you can read, you can do this way of eating without spending over a hundred dollars.

I started this program on March 1, 2011. Within 6 months I lost 50 lbs. It's been 10 months and I'm within 5 lbs of my goal. When I make it I will have lost 70lbs and gone from a size 18 to a size 8. I'm 43 years old, 5'11" tall and have always had trouble with my weight. This is the first time I've learned how to eat healthy and stay lean. This program changed my life and it was simple and fun. I *never* thought I would say that about a diet, but this sure worked for me.

I undeniably disagree with this review and with clearblue. Clearblue stated "I ordered the diet and it is so intricate that you would have to be a dedicated scientist to keep up with it" I deny this claim 100 percent. Their claim is just utter ignorance because obviously he/she did not read through the program. Robert takes you step by step through the program and even a high schooler can folow it. The program even goes as far as to supply a restaurant guide that shows foods what foods you can eat from there. The program is about the combination of the food you eat to keep your blood sugar stable. protein, fast carb, slow carb. eating multiple times a day. I did the program and lost 90 pounds of fat and 7 inches off my waist from exersise, and lowered my pressure and stablized my sugar levels. Overall I love the program but its created to be a lifestyle. It teaches you key things to be healthier while enjoying the pleasures of food.

This is a scam, FALSE ADVERTISING. I ordered the diet and it is so intricate that you would have to be a dedicated scientist to keep up with it. You also have to love to cook because NUMBER ONE! YOU CANNOT EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT! YOU HAVE TO PREPARE THE FOODS ACCORDING TO THEIR GUIDELINES AND NOT VEER FROM IT! YOU end up with so many books it is like going to college to get a degree in nutrition. THEN THERE IS THE MATTER OF THE LITTLE DIET PIILLS THEY SAY YOU CAN GET FOR JUST ONE DOLLAR EXTRA WHEN YOU ORDER THEIR PLAN! There is no UP FRONT admission that they are goin to continue to charge you for these pills and put you on an autoship program. NUMBER TWO! The pills DO NOT WORK! They are simply overpriced vitamins. The people giving the rave reviews on here are obviously connected with the people who produce this diet program among many other diet programs in their advertising corporation to put high profile people on TV to endorce their products! DON'T GET HIJACKED LIKE I DID!

No offense to anyone, but I believe he wasn't harsh enough. I don't care if it does cause weight loss if it's not healthy. I want bloodwork results...to know that all sugar, cholesterol...levels are all good. My stepdad did a program once where he lost a lot of weight but he had other health issues. Surely there isn't a food out there that stops all the bad stuff in those foods from harming your body. When someone is done with the program, eating all kinds of unhealthy foods and multiple people provide bloodwork results, I don't buy it.

It works. The equation is simple: no sugar or low sugar if it's white, make it brown (wheat bread, brown rice, wheat pasta) if it's fat, make it lean fitness in every day Kindergarten stuff. Easy. 20 lbs gone. I'm a believer.

I totally agree with the posting of "Monique" on July 23,2011. This program is outstanding. I began this program December 2009 at a starting weight of 177 lbs/43% body fat and currently am at 125 lbs/24 % body fat. I was really searching for a scientifically-research ed plan to help motivate me to lose about 45-50 lbs I needed to lose before having my tummy tuck done. Don't get me wrong, I definitely was also concerned about my health too being that heart disease and diabetes run in my family. Needless to say, I've lost about 52 lbs, had my much desired tummy tuck, am as health as a horse, and went from a size 14 to a size 2/4. I am 38 years old, a grandma of soon-to-be four. I must say... I truly got it going on! I advocate the program to anyone who is serious about losing fat (not just weight) because you really are not deprived of any of your favorite foods. I love it!

CAUTION!!!!

Tuesday, 16 August 2011

They will send you monthly shipments of "vitamins" and charge it in two different payments each month. Each shipment is over $50/month. And it's hard to get them to stop! When I called to order, I specifically stated that I DID NOT WANT any follow-up shipments; if it worked, I would call them and reorder. Not only did they continue to ship anyway, I was also charged for one of the other options I declined and was being charged (under a different account name) an additional $25/month for coupons/gift certificates or some such items that I specifically declined in the ordering process, never received, but was continued to be billed. Why, you ask, did I not stop this immediately? I had shoulder surgery and was less attentive than I would have ordinarily been with paying attention to the items on my statement, and more attune to getting well. Did this matter to them? Absolutely NOT! I've never used the product since my surgery became my focus. I cannot attest to whether it works or not. But they do have a marketing trickery. Shame on me for ordering any product from a TV ad and giving them my credit card info!!!!! Lesson learned!!!!

Just finished 6-day detox

Sunday, 14 August 2011

I was really excited when I ordered this program and I am not disappointed. It is teaching me many healthy facts about nutrition and food combining (fast carb, slow carb, protein). At first I didn't know if I could do the 6-day as I believed I would be starving. It was actually very easy, I was not hungry and there were only maybe 3 times my mouth watered at pizza commercials. LOL. I started feeling lighter and more energetic. I did not have headaches, hunger pangs, none of that. I was actually quite surprised. I am 5'3 and started at 164 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 158.6. Lost 5.4 pounds. I was afraid that I would need to be near a bathroom but that was not the case, although I am really happy about the apparent expulsion of old built up bulk in my colon (had to be honest here). Today I will continue on with the 21-day and go on from there. I know the main reason I have gained weight is that I am constantly putting myself in the starvation mode. I'd eat only a few times a day and when I did it was mostly the wrong carbs (fast carbs). Now I will have to get used to eating more. The smoothies on the detox are so good and filling. Wasn't hugry at all.

Thank you all

Wednesday, 27 July 2011

Thank you for the truthful comments about this plan. I can only believe that those of you who "like" it were being honest so it goes without saying that the others who did not like it were also being honest in their reviews. I found them refreshing enough so that it allowed me to make an informed decision. I plan on buying this program today. Will be 60 this year and am at the 190 mark. Would like to drop at least 50 pounds, but mostly just looking to feel better, more energetic, and hoping to have less pain in my knees. Of course there are the more common "vanity" issues as well. My age maybe 60, but my mind is still 30! Much success to all who are on this plan. I hope to have good news to report myself in a month or so. Oh... I plan on putting hubby on it to, (though he does not know that yet! :o).. That is the fun part of being married over 40 years.... you can do what you want and no one is surprised!

I am on day 8 of the program and I feel great. I disagree 100% as well with the review on this page. The program is complete with explanations to everything you are asked to do. I have never tried diet or weight/fat loss programs. The way I found this program is because my 8 yr old daughter was watching the infomercial one Sunday morning and when I woke up she said, "Mom come see this. You can eat the food you like and lose weight." I watched the infomercial for about 20 minutes then called and ordered it. I do agree that the infomercials are somewhat vague but that's pretty common since they wouldn't be making sales if they spelled everything out on the TV. You do not count calories, and to date, I haven't read or heard anything w/this program saying you can't drink coffee. Again, keep in mind I'm on day 8 of the program. By day 3 I knew my metabolism was resetting quickly because I was experiencing the hunger between meals and snacks just as Ferguson states. I have no incorporated the exercise DVDs into my routine and I feel great! I am 26 yrs old and weight 145 when I got pregnant w/my 2nd daughter. By her birth I weighed 190lbs and it dropped to 175 a couple months after her birth but then I was so disappointed and depressed about not being back to my normal body size that I just ate and ate and never exercised and never did any physical activity and I work in a job where I sit all day. So my weight has been a steady 190 for the last 2 years or so. I decided that I wanted to do this program for a few reasons. The main being that my health is suffering because of my weight. Back pain, weakness, infertility (to name a few) I also have a vacation coming up in November 2011 where I'm going out of the country for the 1st time and going to a tropical country and want to feel good in a bathing suit. By day 3 of the program, I had already lost 1" off my waistline. I haven't stepped back on the scale to see if I've lost any weight yet. Ferguson recommends not doing that until day 21 because weight fluctuates while it's going through the changes in the program. This program teaches you how to eat. Educates you on what is really healthy and unhealthy. I especially appreciate this program because not only does he have daily inspirational messages on CD, but it has a calender that helps you track everyday what you are eating and drinking. You also write down how you're feeling that day and how many glasses of water you've drank, if you did exercise and there are tips for new snacks on the same pgs as a reminder. There is also a book where you take your initial mesurements so you see what your fat % is and compare that with the health range so you can SEE the results even if its not weight loss (for example me losing 1" off my waist in 3 days) and it teaches you to love yourself, the way you are. I can't say enough that I really like the fact that it focuses also on the emotional part and how that DOES factor into your success. It's focus is not on WEIGHT loss, rather FAT loss and helps put the focus on being healthy and everything else will follow. I recommend this program because it is not a strict diet that has you cutting out foods you like and forcing you to eat nasty food just for the sake of supposed weight loss. I'm not saying that you can eat McDs every meal and chocolate at every snack. It was said by someone else that you just pick healthier alternatives. Simple example of this is that I used to think eating granola bars were great snacks- and they are. but the ones i was purchasing had high fructose sugar and other sweeteners in them. i just made a simple switch to kashi granola bars and they are just as good, if not better than the quaker ones i was buying. chips: instead of doritos, i eat sun chips, instead of lays i eat boulder kettle chips. i could literally go on and on, but I won't. I just want to say too that I'm not being paid for this review. I'm just a regular mom and wife and want people to know that the program DOES work. Before I purchased the program, i was trying to find some reviews that actually matter and couldn't really find any so that's why i'm posting this. i am the type of person that is process driven. so having instructions to follow and the cookbooks and real life examples to follow are perfect for me. for example, there is a book included that talks about good snacks to eat. it lists BRAND names so I took that to the store today and purchased some snacks on the list. it's great. i love the cookbooks because i've been so tired of cooking the same things over and over again and so now i have something to go off of and the family likes the new recipes too. and they are EASY recipes, nothing that makes you search and spend ridiculous amounts of money for these random recipes you'll only use once. my husband needs to lose weight as well and he's not really one to be on a 'diet.' he works nights and sleeps during the day and he has this idea that if he skips breakfast and lunch and only eats a huge dinner that he'll lose weight. when he's hungry he's been just forcing himself to sleep instead of eating and he's been trying to figure out why he's not losing weight since he's not been eating. he's kind of stubborn so he's not fully on the program but he sees me doing it and is intrigued by it. so what i've done is just started giving him snacks and he actually wakes up because he's starting to feel hungry every 3 hrs to get a snack since his metabolism is resetting just from taking that small step. in fact, thats the 1st thing that Ferguson has you start doing in the program. he sees me exercising now and started poking fun at me but he sees the energy that i have and my stress level has gone down as well so now he will start doing the exercise with me once a week. he's starting slow, but the point of telling this is so people can see that small steps make a BIG difference and it's not anything crazy that you have to do. anyway, i know i've written a lot, and i could keep going, but i hope i've shed some light on the program. and it's not expensive either. i'm paying $20 a month for 6 months (aka $120) and you can return it after 8 weeks if you don't want to keep it, but i'm sure you won't want to anyway. i wanted to comment on the person that said they are liars and placed an order w/out his consent. i'm sorry that happened to you. it was probably some misunderstanding because before i gave them my credit card info, i asked all the questions i had and got satisfying answers and THEN i gave them my card #. and they didn't run the card before going through exactly what i was getting and how much i was paying and they asked permission to run the card at the end of that. they offered my a vitamin supplement for the first bottle free then like 30 a month or something if i didn't cancel. i just called last week and got right to a representative and canceled it. it was probably the easiest call i've ever made to a customer service line and they didn't bother and hassle me to keep it- you know that hard sales thing? they didnt do that- anyway, i'm very eager to see my results in the coming weeks. my target is to lose 60 lbs eventually...i'll keep updating as i see results.

I've been on this plan for nearly 2 yrs

Monday, 18 July 2011

I love this program. Let's be realistic. You can criticize and pick apart any program but change is necessary. What we've been doing doesn't work so we have to CHANGE. I started this progam in Aug of 2009. I read it and did my best to follow it. I was not always perfect in the begining but it got easier and easier. It's easy to follow and feed your entire family this way. My husband never needed to be on a diet and was a big eater. He ate every meal that I fixed and loved it so I didn't have to cook separate meals. I had trouble eating early in the morning, at first, and then it became a necessity. Every time I would start to feel a little hungry after 2-3 hrs, I got excited because that meant that my body was burning the food that I put in. The food is easy and good and healthy. You can even have comfort food on this diet. Believe me broccoli and tuna are not my idea of comfort food. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes are. I eat those on this plan. Just not the amount and as often as I used to before. When I started this program I weighed 215 lbs. I have been obese most of my life, even in high school. I know what eating struggles are. This program really works. I feel great and I have energy and I look thinner and heatlhier. Please do look for miracles, look for lifelong changes. Don't diet, educate yourself and your body to change and know that you have to change. It's not realistic to think that you can eat the same foods in the same way that you have been and still lose weight. Don't let negative reviews and comments stop you from really trying this. If you stick with it, you will look and feel great. This is not a sprint to the weight loss finish line but an easy, leisurely stroll to a lifelong change. You won't regret it. By the way, I have lost 58 lbs, 43 inches and have gone from a 41% body fat to a 21% body fat. I look and feel better at 48 than I did at 25. Isn't that what we all want. No miracles, no rapid weight loss, no stress, no starving and no more New Years day diet resolutions. I will never DIET again because I don't have to. I feed my mind, body and soul with good food and health and well being. Please try this!

Hopefully I can answer some questions here. I am no expert, but I LOVE the program. Not only am I seeing great results, I can see myself living on this for the rest of my life. I plan on helping my obese father begin the program soon. Coffee - if you are not doing the detox part of the diet, this is ok to keep drinking. I, too, get caffeine withdrawal headaches so I didn't do this. In the 21 day makeover, Robert talks about drinking coffee - perfectly alright. As far as getting complete info. - you do! It's great. At first I thought (just upon opening the program and reading) that there wasn't enough. But with the DVD and the daily CD messages (these are awesome!)I am very informed yet not overwhelmed. I love how he just introduces a step at a time. This makes for an easy lifestyle change. The best program I have found. No calorie counting, no weighing, measuring, etc. Just being smart (and learning how to be smarter). And no, I do not work for the company!

THIS PROGRAM WORKS! I am an anthropologist and life coach and I am on the program. If you follow the program, it is biologically impossible not to lose the weight and be healthier for it. By that I mean, it contains all the necessary components to create a healthy lifestyle for you. Yes, you can eat anything you want BUT you will find yourself making healthier and healthier choices. For those afraid that you do not have the will power - don't worry, it is not hard and you will not be hungry - so, no will power problems unless you have decided to eat fried chicken or fast food hamburgers at every meal. YES, you can have coffee. I have lost weight on the Food Lovers Fat Loss program but even better than that, I have developed an individualized lifelong healthy eating plan - even if I did not lose a pound, anything that can get me to that point is worth the bucks. No, I am not an exercise freak - 12 minutes a day, sorry, that's it. This is a good buy if you are looking to lose weight AND get healthy. If you are looking to lose weight just so you can go back to digging your grave with your teeth, save the dollars, this program will not be for you. Use that money to buy a doughnut.

I have been on the program for 2 1/2 months and have lost 12 lbs. I have never been able to stick to any kind of diet before. It's so easy that I believe I will reach my goal of losing 60 pounds total. I have not followed it to the letter and did not do the detox, and still the weight is slowly coming down. I love the DVD kick boxing workout, which I am doing 3 to 4 times a week. I can go out to eat and not gain weight, just by keeping in mind what a fast carb is, slow carbs and protein. You never go more than 3 hours without eating. I have had problems before this diet with low blood sugar and getting shaky and light headed. I don't have that problem anymore. I do not have any cravings. I tried the Atkins diet several years ago and lost some weight, but I had cravings and you must give up foods you love for the rest of your life. With Food Lovers, you do not have to give up foods you love, just the way you eat them. All I can say is it is working for me so far, and I am 63 years old!

I started this diet on Mon. 4/4/11. I weighed in at 228 lbs. I know you are not supposed to weigh yourself, but Tues. morning 4/5 I could'nt help myself. I stepped on the scale and discovered I lost 2 lbs. This is now Thurs. and again I cheated and weighed in at 222. In three days I have lost 6 lbs. I have put the scale away now for the required 21 days! I am a true believer!!!

Food lovers fat loss system

Monday, 04 April 2011

Thanks for this review and I also enjoyed the comments - most of the folks who liked the program had not been on it for very long - what frustrated me with the infomercial and their website is they give you no information. Portion control is always the key and it seems that there are some restrictions in food according to the comments. It also matters what kind of genetics you have - if you are clinically obese, you likely are in the "lucky" 5% who can get very obese just by eating the "normal American diet". The gycemic "control" stuff has yet to be proven effective or "healthier" in clinical studies. And there is some kind of an exercise program involved. For the long term, I like a holistic program, including not only information about portion control but also information about how to combat "head hunger", "cravings" - the emotional stuff, plus support from those who have had success and more. The only thing which ever worked for me has been Weight Watchers and it took me four tries, however, on the fourth try I lost 112 lbs and have kept it off for over a year now. Whatever people do, it takes daily vigilance. Whether you count the actual points or not, you can not stop or take vacations. I do exercise daily and have done that since 1994. As this reviewer stated, the idea of strict portion control limiting amounts and types of food can work for many people but on Weight Watchers, I also have the "weekly allowance" which allow me to stray from this regime from time to time - something you cannot do if you do not count points...I like that flexibility especially since WW offers several ways of journaling which are computer based and very quick and easy to do.

Less expensive comparitive product

Thursday, 24 March 2011

From what I have been able to gather from the food lovers system is that it is basically, a glycemic index diet. Ideally, how everyone should be eating and in particular, very good for diabetics. The essentials, eat often in smaller portions, keep proteins to 4 oz portions, high fiber foods for slow cards (whole grains and veggies), avoid processed food and simple sugars. Rick Gallop has some inexpensive books that give you the actual science behind it all - which this plan seems to be lacking.

no coffee??? health food store products??? Food Lovers says its a complete program, but looking at these "shopping lists", it sounds in complete, and much more expensive than what the Food Lovers people would have you believe. And no coffee?? just during detox? or through out the program?

I disagree with the article. I was skeptical when my wife purchased the program and put the entire family on the plan. The first three days were incredible--I actually got tired of eating and had to force myself to eat those last snacks of the day. This snack planning also forced me to bed earlier because I did not want to have an additional snack. On day five, I am seeing the changes that Robert says will happen...being hungry before my frequent snacks and meals and looking more at what's in the food I eat. I really find it helpful listening to his coaching on the daily CD messages. As of Day 5, I am down 6 lbs (my wife is down by 3 lbs). We have tried other programs, but they always left me wanting to gnaw off my foot from hunger before the next meal/snack came around. This does not happen with Robert's plan. I am very pleased with the program and will recommend (or even purchase) it to my extended family once I conclude the 21 days and see the results I am hoping for. NOTE: this is not a paid testimonial...send me an email if you think it's not real. G.

I just finished the 6 day detox program and lost about 5 lbs. I am an addictive coffee drinker with lots of flavored creamer. I did have a headache the first couple of days but it started to subside on the 2nd day. The instructions in the detox don't say anything about over the counter pain killers; but I figured that was the point of "detox" was to get your system free of any type of toxins. You can tough out the withdrawal if you take it one day at a time. DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW MANY DAYS YOU HAVE LEFT!! Just do one day in your mind. Actually I felt pretty good on this detox - never got hungry. As a matter of fact, I had a hard time getting in the evening snack - I was too full. I don't agree with this author either. I have found that Robert Ferguson in his videos and audios is VERY EXPLICIT as to how this program works in your body. I'm starting the 21 days today and am looking forward to completing it. As far as the portions that the author refers to, when you are eating every 2-3 hours during your day; you don't need a 16 oz steak at lunch/supper, you can definitely do with 4-6 ounces along with the other foods that are healthy for you. This program teaches you how to eat in a healthy manner. The weight loss is a great benefit of it. I am glad that I spent the money on it. If you've tried all the others, I would recommend that you try this and DO EXACTLY WHAT ROBERT TELLS YOU TO DO. HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT AND DOING WHAT HE SAYS IS WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS. Happy Healthy Eating. Colleen

I GAINED OVER 100 POUNDS OVER A FOUR YEAR TIME SPAN AFTER BEING INJURED IN A FREAK ACCIDENT WHICH ROBED ME OF MY ABILITY TO WALK. I CAN'T DO THE EXERCISES I USE TO DO EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE SINCE I WAS 15 SO I TRIED THE FOOD LOVERS WITH NO SUCCESS. THEN I TRIED THE LOW CARB DIET WHICH TOOK THE WEIGHT OFF IN ONLY 9 MONTHS. I AM NEVER HUNGRY AND EAT ALL DAY LONG. I MAKE SURE WHEN I DO EAT CARBS THEY ARE HIGH FIBER CARBS. ALSO, I TAKE MEGA DOSES OF MULTI VITAMINS DAILY. ON SATURDAYS I EAT ANYTHING I WANT SUCH AS ICE CREAM AND PIAZZA. I FAST ON SUNDAYS HAVING ONLY A SLICE OF HIGH FIBER BREAD WITH MY VITAMINS IN THE MORNING. THEN I MEDITATE AND PRAY FROM NOON UNTIL 6 PM. I AM STILL UNABLE TO WALK BUT I AM AT MY NORMAL WEIGHT. I AM ONLY 5 FT 3 IN TALL AND WEIGH 118 LBS WHICH IS MY PERFECT WEIGHT AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR ME. THAT IS THE KEY, FINDING WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. WE ALL ARE DIFFERENT AND OUR BODIES HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS. FINDING OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU IS THE ONLY DIET THAT WILL EVER WORK. DON'T THINK EVERY DIET WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE. BUT EATING HEALTHY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO YOUR HEALTH. YOU MUST GIVE YOUR BODY WHAT IT NEEDS WHICH IS PROTEIN, FATS, FIBER AND VITAMINS. ONCE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GIVE YOUR BODY WHAT IT NEEDS YOU WILL BE ON YOUR WAY TO BOTH GOOD HEALTH AND WEIGHT LOSS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!

It appears that I am just another "chubby" wanting to know if this system works or not. I, like some of the others, have spent hundreds of dollars looking for a quick fix...nothing works. This time I am out for something to help my lose weight, but also change my eating habits (along with my family). I'm interested in hearing comments from some of you that have tried this system on how it works for the whole family???? So, bring it on! (and thanks in advance)

I have a different issue here, I called to possibly purchase the product. After, questions were answered; I decided not to buy the product at that time. I was then told that unfortunately, the order was already processed and I would have to call customer service within 24 hours to cancel it. The next day, I called and again was told unfortunately, nothing could be done, b/c the product was already shipped. And to top all that off, I spoke with

food lovers fat loss system

Thursday, 03 February 2011

Searching for real info is useless. It seems that they've spent most of their marketing budget on stocking search engine responses with bogus "testimonials" so you think you're reading objective comments. I'll pass on this system and simply exercise more and eat less; that's really the only answer, and we both know it.

Starting tomorrow..

Tuesday, 01 February 2011

I start the 6 day detox tomorrow and hope that the suffering through these first 6 days will show enough results to keep me motivated to do the diet. Can anyone share their results from the detox? I actually was able to buy everything for the detox at Wal-Mart except for the liquid chlorophyll and that was easily found at GNC. it all smells awful, but as compared to being fat... nothing could be as bad! My skinny person is has been stuck inside too many years now and wants to come back out and enjoy life again!

caffeine question

Tuesday, 04 January 2011

I am considering a start with the 6 day detox program and am hesitating over fear of caffeine withdrawal headaches. Has anyone had this same concern and trudged thru it. And I didn't find any instructions about medicines-ibuprofen, aspirin...Please share experiences or understandings of these issues.

I don't think this author checked out t

To me, the author of this review just took a poo poo to the whole thing, just as he said it was just like all the others, so it set a precident in his mind. Anyway, I have studied many diets and body physiology. Although it is true calaories are a key factor, you can roughly go with 3500 cal per pound. So you can do simple math on adding or loosing, but there is a lot more about how you body works than simple energy conservation. One, is when you do eat food you cause reactions in your body, one producing inciline, which will promote fat storage, so not only can you control weight gain by calorie limits, you can also help yourself, by not binging yourself such that you product huge amounts. Dr. Berry Sears has shown that a balance of protein, carbs, and fat are ideal. If you eat all carbs at once you cause a different result. And many times when your body says it is hungry, hungry for what? We go eat a bag of chips to full fill the hunger, but maybe your body is wanting protein. Which you did nothing for, and then you body feels like it is still missing something. Just note, that at any given meal you body can only process 5 oz of protein, so there is no reason to eat a 16 new york strip, it is all about the sensation. Working around that is what you have to do. Discipline is the name of the game... Just eat smart, I think this program trys to take the complex systems of body physiology and makes it simple with some sacrifices, because who is going to carry a scale and a calculator with them all time to really define the proper balance, but close is a pretty good start compared to nothing at all. Simple, eat smart... Monitor calories too... Exercise on top of that, will get you a long way. Any of those is better than none of those. All 3 ideal.

Tuesday, 31 August 2010

I'm on day 9. I find myself hungry every 2-3 hr so I know that my metabolism is speeding up but unlike waht the CDs say I do NOT see a diff. I have done everything and even work out for 1.5 hr 3 times a week. I will not give up and it has opened my eyes to some things but so for not seeing that I have lost anything. Let me know if anyone can help!

I also am type 2 diabetic. I eat between 1200-1400 calories per day which should make me eventually 140 lbs, which I'm not. Instead eating with an eye toward caloric intake has resulted in approx a 10 lb loss since January 1 this year, and I exercise moderately as well. All those juices, while unsweetened, are still too much sugar for a diabetic and my glucose levels would be crazy. I don't snack on high fat/high carb foods, and I stretch my food out for the day so I eat a small amount every 2-3 hours. I'm hypothyroid and post-menopausal. Don't tell me it's about calories in and out becuase I'm proof that's not true. I want to see success stories from women with the same situation as me; then I'll believe it.

I am a 25 y/o female who had a baby in August of 2009. Prior to pregnancy I weighed 127lbs and after pregnancy I weighed 182lbs. I went through a rough state of trying to lose the weight I had gained. I tried everything from diet pills to bad diet suggestions from friends. I mean I tried everything from green tea diets, low carb diets, cabbage diet and numerous pills and supplements. If any of you are like me then you know how much money can be spent trying to lose weight. My bill ranked well into the hundreds. I finally found a program called Elite Weight Loss and I haven

I agree with Jay. I'm on my 9th day of the 21 day program. The daily cds as well as the binder explain every step. In the few days I've been on this program, I've learned so much more than when I was on Jenny Craig. Robert Ferguson's is the easiest weight loss program I have tried so I know it'll be easy to maintain. The 6-Day Detox was tough, but it was worth it.

Trying the program

Monday, 19 April 2010

I started the 6 day detox TODAY. I will gladly keep you posted on my progress. Detox: This portion of the program gives a detailed shopping list. I purchased everything from my local healthfood store. I paid $150.00 (I KNOW you can spend far less at a normal grocery store. Needed items from Grocery: 1. 4 gallons of Distilled water 2. Organic Unswettened Apple Juice 48-72 oz 3.Organic Unsweetened Oranged Juice 32oz 4.Organic Unsweetened Promgranate Juice 32oz 5.Unsweetened Carrot Juice (36 oz OR replace with unsweetened apple juice) I am about 90% positive that the organic unsweetened variety of all of the above are avaliable in at the local grocer for 1/3 less than I at the health food store. I have seen these juices at the end of the produce section. Other items avaliable at local grocer: 6.Decaffeinated Green tea (enough for 9 cups) Fresh Fruit: (organically grown IF POSSIBLE) 7. 9 cups of fresh or frozen strawberries 8. 6 cups of Fresh or Frozen Blueberries 9. 3 small bananas 10... Additonal Fresh Fruit 9 pieces or 9 cups of : Apples, Oranges, Cantaloupe, Berries, grapefruit, pomegranate, watermelon. From the Health food Store: 10. Whey, SOy or Egg Protein Powder-Vanilla Flavored 18 scoops) 11. Psyllium Husks Bulk Powder (NO Capsules) 12 TBSP 12. Aleo Vera Juice 12 TBSP 13. Liquid Chlorophyll 12 TBSP 14. 12-24 Cascara Sagrada Capsules. 15. Trader Joes Soup That's that shopping List for the detox. A full explination of ALL of the Health Food Store Items is given... when to take them and WHY you are taking them ... in adddition you are given a full list of do's and dont's. This part of the program is fully explained and easy to understand.

I disagree about 90% with this article. Yes, if your intake of calories is less than what you burn, you will lose weight. That is rather well know. I strongly disagree with the rest of this article. I started this program and love it. I am very critical of a lot of the BS out there, from politics to education to whatever else. But, besides losing 5lbs per month (on the slow system - you chose the slow or the fast tract weight loss that suits you), this system DOES EDUCATE the user as to how foods work with/in the body. You can eat the SAME AMOUNT of calories in the slow method or the fast method with DIFFERENT results. I doubt that the author actually tried the program. I came across this webpage looking for this program to share with family that I am visiting.
