Maybe you should have read the whole article.
This diet proves that strenuous exercise is not necessary to lose weight. Many exercises are exercises for fitness but not necessarily for losing weight. With many exercises you can build up muscle which in turn will increase weight. For people who don't want, or can't do strenuous workout programs then a diet with little or no exercise is probably a good thing for them.

The whole idea of the Body trim diet is to burn fat, not to build up muscle at the diet stage. That part of it comes later if you want to do it. All I am interested in at the moment is burning fat so I can get down to a reasonable weight and that will go hand in hand with being healthier in itself. I am not defending the Body trim diet, all diets work, I have been on a few diets in my lifetime and all of them worked. For me the problem has been keeping the weight off once I lost it. I chose the Body trim diet because, what it claims, is true. You can eat more and lose weight.
I was sick of being on diets where I had to watch the calories or count points. This diet suits me but may not suit everybody.

Of course it is in the interests of Gym instructors to have their clients lose weight if that is the goal of their clients, but not everyone who does gym workouts are there to lose weight.

Okay, here's an update on the progress of my diet. Its now 8 weeks tomorrow that I first started the BodyTrim diet and at weigh in today my total loss for the 8 weeks is 12.6 Kilos.which averages just a tad over 1.5kilos per week.I still have to lose a few more kilos to reach my goal weight but it is now in sight and I know its achievable.
The good news of the day is that it is my "free" day today where I can eat whatever I want so Yipeee

Stand away from the chocolate John

Well done mate soon you'll be able to fly again

Good on ya John. Keep up the good work. Free day makes this diet easy to stick to.
Towards the end of the diet, for me anyway, I found that I didn't really want to pig out on free day and just had a few pieces of fruit or a white bread sandwich. It's funny what you really miss when you can't have it.

Resurrecting this thread I have a question. I looked at the Bodytrim site and it tells me zip about how it works and to find out I have to spend money. That is OK but what I want to know before I spend money is this. Will it work for someone who is in a vehicle 8 hours a day and therefore has no access to cooking or food preparation facilities and limited time for breaks. Also a strict timetable must be kept so I can't be too flexible with breaks. Or is it something that works best in a static situation like home or an office? Thanks.

Sorry for not replying to your post before this but I have only just caught up with the thread. Of course, I cannot say if any diet will work an any particular person but can only say what it did for me.
You will not find the diet program on the website, you have to but the program, Unfortunately, nobody is going to let you have their program for free. Financially not beneficial to the company..

I hope you find a diet that suits you and it works for you. Good luck.

Okay guys and gals. Update on my diet. I have now lost a total of 22Kilos since I started the Body Trim diet. I started at the end of July so that makes it 17 weeks in total that I have been on the diet.

I am now down to a suitable weight at 80 Kilos. I will probably do another week so that it will allow me a little tolerance to play with when I go on a maintenance diet. That is to say, eating sensibly. I want to stay arounbd the 80 Kilo mark.

My trouser size has dropped from 107cm to 87cm so thats quite a bit. I have thrown away all my "big stuff" and have vowed never to put on that sort of weight again. My blood pressure is a lot better and have been able to leave off 2 of my BP tablets. I still walk twice a day which totals about 8 Kilometers all up.

It's been a long haul, 17 weeks and another week to go is 4 and half months of dieting, but overall I am much happier with myself and feel much better.

Thanks to all those on here who have given me encouragement to keep at it. I appreciate your support. Thanks guys and gals.

Thanks for the reply. I worded that post very badly so might have another attempt. I am interested in if the program could be followed by a person who is on the road 8 to 10 hours a day, not if it will lose me weight but whether I could actually use the program and the difficulties I might find in doing that.

Good one John, nice to know you have hit your target weight.
It will be easy to lose those extra few kgs to give you that buffer when you go on to the maintenance diet.
You will be surprised just how much you can eat then and it does not put any weight back.
I found I have put back 2kgs and it stabilised there. My wife when she went on to the maintenance diet, still lost a few more kgs, but that has stabilised now and she is happy with the her weight which is 52kgs, having lost a toal of 11kgs, looks good too.

This is where I find the difficulty in regards to me. I do not eat junk food, I do not snack between meals, I eat basic food and very little else. I have never eaten Mcdonalds or KFC or any of those things ever and the only time I have ever been in one is to use their toilet!!! I eat one substantial meal in the evening, breakfast and two "snacks", a sandwich and a piece of fruit each time spread out over the time I am away from home. I drink a couple of litres of water a day and that is it. My biggest failing that I can see is not eating frequently enough and I do realise that this is an issue. it is not like I am eating tons of junk food like a lot of others may be doing and thus see a radical change of diet by not eating it. Your comments would be welcome.

You've done well Munruben, good luck keeping it off!!
I just wanted to add something, which seems to be backed up by stuff on the Net: drink green tea! It seems to help weight loss.
I have given up coffee, maybe have one about once a month now, but drink a lot of green tea. Usually just tea bags, 2 or 3 a day (no milk, no sugar), but also pots of Genmaicha, which is really tasty with roasted rice mixed in the tea leaves.
I have been stressed lately (divorce), my diet has changed for the better, and even exercise more, but I reckon drinking green tea has been the difference. I've lost about 10-12kgs, now feeling comfortable- full of energy- on 71-72kg. Have to buy new clothes and put extra holes in my belt!!

Cheers

PM sent.

John well done the advantages are huge

When flying you now have less cloths therefore less weight luggage to carry............but more room for wood.

LOYL can now put her arms around you and the grandies have more space on our lap

She will appreciate less time ironing as size of cloths are smaller she ends up with more wardrobe space.

Neighbours also have more light but less shade when they are on the line.

Great Job you have done really well. Awesome effort
