The diet seems simple, but it's difficult to adhere to if you're used to eating what you want when you want. It's not just limit your intake of red meat. It's very specific as to how many calories you consume and what those calories consist of. My biggest problem was eating all of the food I was supposed to eat. Sometimes it was just too much. 9 servings of protein was rough as were all the vegetables and fruits.

It's easier to do the "portion" diet as opposed to the specific meal diet, but as anyone in the know will tell you, weight loss is 90% diet 10% exercise.

The exercise is a killer. Plyometrics, yoga, and legs & back were the worst for me. I always felt better after doing them, as it was a sense of accomplishment.

I lost 30 pounds on the program, but after finishing it, didn't maintain the lifestyle and have gained half of it back. It kicked my ass and I was tired of working out 7 days a week. I did it with my fiancee so that we could motivate each other, and we had to do the stretching day or the next day was just too painful.

It's a great program if you can stick with it.
