It's a weight loss program based on eating a balanced diet, energization exercises, meditation, and NLP (neuro linguistic programming). It focuses on how to control your cravings and the importance of building muscle. The food choices are based on whole foods that contain high levels of beneficial phytonurients, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It's also been called the popeye diet because your supposed to try and eat some spinach every day. You should read the book, it's on the website.

    I do not know.

    Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

    Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

    U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

    It's a weight loss program based on eating nutritious foods, exercise, and meditation. Why wouldn't that work?

    Reading the material one can see that it's a very balanced diet where the premise is consistent and maintainable weight loss based on a calorie deficit achieved through a combination of diet and exercise. The author uses the metaphor of magnetism to explain that the foods you eat attract either health or disease based on the compounds and components within the food. In addition to nutrition the author also covers meditation, visualization, energization exercises (strength conditioning using isometrics), and craving control through special breathing exercises. The author makes the case that low calorie diets are problematic in that they cause most people to lose a large amount of muscle mass which then ruins their metabolism causing them to gain weight back once they have returned to their normal eating habits. He also makes the case against low carb diets by explaining that they are very hard to stay on, however he leverages low carb science in the program by advocating mostly protein meals in the evenings as well as aerobic exercise in the mornings to create the condition where the body burns fat for fuel due to glycogen depletion.

    It's more of a lifestyle than a diet. It advocates meditation, affirmations, special isometrics called energization exercises, and mind control techniques for self discipline. If you only do 50% of what's in the book, you'll see a big change in your body and your outlook on life. You can read the book for free, but the package has additional material plus the meal plans.

    You can read the book on the website. It's all about eating good healthy food, counting your calories, controlling your cravings, and exercise. My Mom swears by it.

    This is actually one of the most sensible diets on the web. Here's the program in a nutshell:
    Eat nutritious foods
    Drink lots of water
    Exercise
    Breathe deeply throughout the day to help control cravings
    Meditate for peace of mind
    If that doesn't work, what will?

    Whatever it is...it sounds ridiculous. Eat sensibly and excercise. Forget the dumb fad diets.
