6 Week Body Makeover Meal Plan
Hi all, I just started the 6 Week Body Makeover and have completed the first step of the program, which is to blue print my body and determine what type of body type I have. I am a body type C, which is defined as a “Meso-Endo”. To review, C bodies are the type of bodies that have more lean muscle mass than the other bodies types. Because of the extra lean mass, they are able to burn calories faster and have higher metabolisms. However, C bodies have problem areas and need to take care of these areas so that they can burn additional calories and stay slim. Sometimes C people have too much muscle in one area and not enough in another section of their body. For me, I have too much muscle in my arms and legs, but my mid-section is quite flabby. As a C, I’m allowed to eat more simple and complex carbohydrates as my body can burn these calories faster than other body types. I’m supposed to stay away from red meats and eat mainly chicken and fish. The reason I’m supposed to stay away from red meat is because red meat will make me bulk up and my goal is to have lean muscle mass…not to gain additional weight.
I just started following the meal plan and it’s quite easy to follow. There are custom eating plan menu cards for each body type. These cards come with body makeover package. I’m going to try the Fast Track Menu Card meal plans and use this until I get bored of the foods. Also, once you get bored of the foods on the Fast Track Menu, you can use the Michael Thurmond Infinite Menu Planner. The Michael Thurmond 6 Week Body Makeover Meal Plan is a booklet with that has multiple tabs based on different types of food groups. For example, as a “C”, for breakfast I’m supposed to have 4 o. protein from category A, 1 cup of carbs from category A, and 1/2 cup of fruit from category A.
This week I’m going to try and eat the “Easy” section of the Fast Track Menu. The menu for this week consists of the following:
Easy Breakfast – 4 Egg Whites, 1 Cup of Oatmeal & 1/2 cup Apple
Easy Snack – 4 oz. Chicken Breast or Turkey Breast & 1/2 cup potato
Easy Lunch – 4 oz. Chicken Breast, 1 cup Rice & 1-2 cups of mixed veggies
Easy Snack – 3 oz. Chicken Breast & 1/2 cup roasted mixed yams & red potato
Easy Dinner – 4 oz. chicken breast, 1 cup potato & 1-2 cups of veggies
PM snack is optional – no snack for me!
Whoa…this seems like a ton of food. You might think that you’re overeating, but if you actually look at the portions, all meals seem more like snacks to me than a full meal. However, this is why the diet works. The diet is tricking your metabolism into thinking that your body has enough food to eat and that it is okay to trigger your metabolism into high gear. Your mind thinks that you’re not going into “starvation mode” and will react accordingly. Plus all the food that you’re eating is healthy so the calories that you do take in will be burned quickly and not stored as fat.
I will give this menu plan a try and will update you on my progress. Also I will post about body sculpting and how much actual exercise you need to do to lose weight on the 6 week body makeover.
6 Week Body Makeover
Welcome to the 6 Week Body Makeover blog. I started this blog as a way to review the product as well as keep myself accountable for losing weight. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I have chosen this diet out of all the other popular weight loss products on the market.
All of my life I have had a problem with my weight and have never felt satisfied with my current body weight. When I was in high school I weighed nearly 200 lbs. I’m 5’8″ and being 200 lbs was considered obese. I went to the doctor for a physical and was notified that I had high blood pressure. High blood pressure at 16 years old is a scary situation.
After high school, the weight started to drop off and during my second year of college I weighted around 150 lbs. I was too skinny at this weight and did not have any lean muscle mass as I did not work out and only ate one meal a day (ramen noodles).
My weight fluctuates till this day and I currently weigh around 175 lbs. My ideal weight would be around 155 lbs, BUT I would like to have lean muscle mass and muscle weight. I chose the body makeover diet as a means to learn how to eat healthy without having to compromise eating portions.
The current diet I’m on is about learning how to eat correctly based on your body type. According to the diet, losing weight is not about starving yourself, taking pills or drinking expensive shakes, it’s about eating foods that help increase your metabolism and burn calories throughout the day.
The idea of having a meal plan that would cooperate with my metabolism and help burn calories was quite appealing to me. I’m the type of person that needs a lot of structure when it comes to eating. If I do not have structure, I tend to eat whatever is in front of me and most of the time my food choices are not healthy. I love eating fried chicken and macaroni and cheese which is probably one of the worst meals that someone can eat while trying to lose weight.
I’m excited to start my own personalized meal plan and drop the weight and I would love to share my weight loss goals and give tidbits of information about the 6 Week Body Makeover.
