UltraSimple Diet

After completing the diet, does the weight stay off or is this more of just a detox where the weight comes back right after you’ve stopped following the menu plan?

this does indeed work, I did it for a week and lost 6 pounds, it’s usually very difficult for me to lose any weight since i never really have much to lose. i did take the olive oil and lemon juice in the morning, i mixed it in a shot glass and just drink it all at once, it’s actually not that bad, just tastes like salad dressing. i bought the ingredients for the shake; but mostly i just used the flaxseeds, chocolate rice protein and banana, i didn’t put a lot of things into it and it tasted good. this is a very good and healthful detox.

bought the book today. I’m going to try the pre-diet week starting tomorrow. I hope this works because all the fruits, veggies, and health food store additives are going to be pricey.

Well, I am over 45 as well as my husband and we both had potbellies, we did this diet and he lost 10 lbs I lost 8 the first week and went down 4 more lbs weeks later. we were bad eaters and didn’t follow it to the letter (no excercise) but we still lost easy for those who find it hard to eat right. we fell off the wagon but we are getting back on this one. less than a year later i still only gained 5lbs of the actual 11. Everyone asked how did you lose the weight it stayed off for almost 9 months without the diet. Going back on tomorrow.

Checked the book out of the library. I think I need to do this. Allergies, food sensitivity and chemical sensitivity are ruining my life. I need to detox.

I’ve been doing this detox a few times a year since 2008 and I love it!! I lose about 7 – 10 pounds in a week. It’s a great way to kick-start a diet or lose those few extra pounds for a special event. I modified the diet a little bit however because I didn’t have ultra shake or ultra broth.

For breakfast I have a glass of freshly squeezed juice (carrots, apple, organge, beet, celery juiced in a juicer), a glass of hot water with lemon and a cup of green tea. This will make you go to the bathroom right away! For lunch I had brown rice with steamed un-salted veggies and for dinner I had the same thing except added tofu. I had my berries for 2 nights and an occasional cup of organic vegetable broth.

The first couple of days are the hardest as you will experience headaches and fatigue because the shock your body goes through. But I promise it gets better. You’ll be amazed at how much flavour veggies have without adding extra salt, fattening dressings etc. By the end of the week I felt energetic, rejuvenated and skinny! I’m not going to lie–it’s very tough and by the end of the week you’ll want to throw your plate at the wall because you’ll get so sick of eating the same thing. But it is worth it. After the detox, continue eating healthy and you’ll keep off the weight you lost. It can be more than just a quick fix! Fantastic!

This diet is extremely complicated. If your a beginner to dieting like me its hard keeping up. Especially if you are working crazy hours and dont have time to go get all these weird things. What the Hell is borage oil????

So, has anyone had any success on this diet?

There are few of you that need to detox your attitudes! Be nice!

the only reason u need an herbal lax is cuz its horrible to not poop while cleansing, u need to get the toxins out so they dont get re-absorbed.

Be nice to each other!

LB, you can purchase either caffeinated or decaffeinated green tea. Either one is allowed since the benefits of green tea outweigh any caffeine.
Danielle, the plan is actually not complicated. I did it for a month and after suffering for 25 years with severe allergies and taking Zyrtec daily, my allergies are now gone. Simply because I discovered what foods I am allergic to (mainly gluten) and removed them from my diet.
I also learned a lot from doing the program about my body and food in general. Increased awareness is a very powerful thing.
Best of luck to everyone! You CAN do it!
