One of my favorite infomercials is the "6 Week Body Makeover". This motivating program is a great motivator for many of us who have just a few pounds to lose or even for those who have a long way to go to reach their diet goals.
The 6 Week Body Makeover is built on the theory that each person has a unique shape that defines his or her body in its natural state as it was meant to be. The 6 Week Body Makeover theory also asserts that each individual person also has a unique metabolism that is specific to his or her body type.
The program centers on a basic idea of individuality. The 6 Week Body Makeover helps you create a diet that is customized to your body shape and your metabolism. Developing and implementing an individualized diet and exercise plan that is catered to your specific body type and your unique metabolism will help you burn more weight than a normal diet alone.
This only stands to reason and this is also what makes me so excited about the 6 Week Body Makeover. It seems as if the people behind the individualized program seem to have found an interesting new and innovative concept. What is so appealing about the makeover program is that it focuses on the individual.
There are a few steps you need to take to begin your very own program. First it is extremely important to find the correct program for you in order for you to lose weight as quickly as possible. The 6 Week Body Makeover instructs you to fill out a questionnaire that helps pinpoint your specific metabolism type.
The next step consists of matching your shape and general body size to the sample drawings. Once you match the picture that best represents your shape and size, you determine your specific problem areas, as if you didn't already know. This is a relatively fast and painless process.
Your metabolism type as determined by the questionnaire is combined with your problem areas as defined by the shape and size sample. From there, the 6 Week Body Makeover program is developed. The plan includes meals designed to help you feel energized and healthy and a simple body-sculpting workout program that targets your problem areas.
This exciting 6 Week Body Makeover concept still carries the same basic concept behind successful weight loss in general. Really, the focus is on proper diet and nutrition as well as regular exercise. We may not really need a program to figure this out, but a program like the 6 Week Body Makeover may push some of us in the right direction.
While doing a search on the topic of body makeovers, I found a book by Michael Thurmond called: 6 Day Body Makeover: Drop One Whole Dress or Pant Size in Just 6 Days--and Keep It Off. I Haven't read it yet, but the review by A. Schaefer is enlightening and inspiring -- check it out!
