What has been televised is just part of a whole lifestlye change that Ben promotes!. I have been a yoyo dieter for years and did have listen to what Ben promotes and its all commonsense and back to basics!. I lost 15kg in 12 weeks just by cutting un processed food & added chemicals & sugar and eating plenty to keep my body going. The eating is in no way an Atkins diet in a different dress!, as some people new far more carbs than protein and its all about finding what is right for your digestive system.You can check out most of what Ben promotes in his u tube presentation, look up Ben Warren or Bepure!, you have got nothing to loose and everything to gain!
To those who dont believe. For years I have struggled with my weight. I have never been able to do the things that i love. I have done every 'diet' just to try and shed a few kg's and end up coming out heavier than before. I exercise alot, but the weight never seemed to come off. Then along came Ben. 12 weeks later and im in the best shape of my life. I have more energy, my cholestorol has dramatically improved and my health stats have never been better. This is not a 'fad' diet as some of you have said. I have been on this program now for 4 months and am just loving it. To those of you who are curious about how it works or dont believe that it works, come down and see for yourself. Dont just assume you know what the outcomes will be just because you say you know someone who has done something similar. I challenge you to try it for yourself. Everybody on the program has benefited from the program. Dont assume you know the results when you havent tried it. These comments are not meant to offend anybody, I am just saying that its has done good for all the participants involved in the program and also for flaxmere. Its about time we stand out for something that is good.
Although good short term results, I'm not convinced this is a long term health benefit by having so much saturated fat and meat, it sounds very much like the Atkins diet to me. A recent study has demonstrated that when looking at the diets in some ethinic group's who develop type 2 diabetes at lower BMI's found that those who had the highest consumption of fat and meat were at the highest risk of getting diabetes compared to those who ate more fruit and vegetables. Anytime someone loses weight you see improvement in cholesterol, anytime you reduce weight and carbohydrates you improve blood sugars. The key with any diet is eating less total calories per day and being compliant. I think all they have done here is find a diet these people are more likely to be compliant with it and while short term there have been some great results I think the most important results will be those of much further down the track and hopefully they will go back and look at these peoples health in 5 years time. Taking into account that 95% of people who loose weight regain it by 5 years. The atkins diet always showed great short term results but not great long term results and long term health eating and healthy lifestyle usually always wins.
