Michael Thurman Diet

My Michael Thurman Body Makeover Has Arrived!

So I FINALLY received my Michael Thurman Six Week Body Makeover kit on 6/2/2009. I will post pictures of the entire kit and kaboodle later. Let's just say the amount of stuff that you receive in the box is quite overwhelming. The first step of the six week body makeover is to determine what body type you are. You determine your body type by taking the makeover blue-print. The blue print is a set of 48 statement questionnaire. You fill in all of the bubbles that are applicable to you. Some of the statements are, "when I gain weight I gain it all over my entire body" and "I currently only eat once or twice a day." The focus of the questions are to determine, where you want to lose weight, eating habits, muscle mass, amount of physical activity and body satisfaction. Once all the applicable questions are filled out you will calculate your body type by tallying the total number of circles by column. Based on your totals, your body type can either be an a, b, c or d.

In my case, I'm a body type C. A body type C is defined as a body that builds and maintains lean muscle easily. Muscle burns calories and it is determined that a body type C metabolism is not that sluggish compared to other types of bodies. This means that body type C bodies do not have to be as careful with simple carbohydrates like fruits and starchy vegetables. The booklet indicates that my body will do well with slightly sweeter fruits such as apples, bananas and honeydew. Other weight loss foods that should be included in my diet are starchy carbs such as oatmeal, rice and other grains. As for proteins, the diet states that I should stay away from red meat so I won't "bulk up" and instead eat proteins such as chicken, fish and seafood. An example diet on the body makeover diet is chicken and shrimp shish kabobs over saffron rice with roasted vegetables...doesn't sound too bad :)

I'm not sure about losing 30 lbs in 6 weeks (I don't need to lose that much weight)...my ideal would be to lose around 10 lbs of fat and gain 10 lbs of muscle. The next post will be about finishing my body blue print.

Oh, by the way, if you don't have the book and want to get started with the Michael Thurman six week body makeover, you can go to the 6 week body makeover website at mybodymakeover.com (copy and paste into the address bar) and do the blue print online.
