Six Weeks To OMG diet - is anybody trying this? I am!

[Damsella]

I read about this Six weeks to OMG diet in the Daily Fail - and a couple of things caught my eye. One is cold baths - I read about those years ago. They burn a different type of fat, or something.

The other thing was not eating for three hours after you get up, or after you do morning exercise. This I love. I find that if I do eat breakfast then it really gives me an appetite for the rest of the day, and if I don't then I eat smaller meals later.

Also it's not about counting calories etc, but about keeping fairly low carb.

Anyway, I'm reviewing it and writing up my experience (just because I thought it would be fun... ). And also becase I wanted to see where I could get in the Google search results for it. Number one result, as it turns out

Here's my review, which is ongoing.

Anybody else trying it?

ETA: You can comment on my review, if you are logged into the forum. There's a linkup that lets you do that.

Here is the page to download the diet from Amazon.

And here's where you can download the Kindle Reader for your PC, laptop, phone etc.

love your review!

Yes I have read it. It is a lot of paleo concepts so I do some of it anyway. Particularly not eating until lunchtime (intermittent fasting).

Jack Kruse talks a lot about cold thermogenesis.

Not read it, as it's in the Daily Fail. But I wouldn't try it - I am absolutely bloody starving within half an hour of getting up, there's no way I couldn't eat for three hours

And as for cold baths - erm, no thanks.

But then I'm not overweight, so it's not aimed at me

ETA - I read an anthropologists view of the paleo/cave woman diets that are all over the place at the moment somewhere, and I can't find it again She basically ripped the idea to shreds - as there were early peoples eating grains and dairy, and not just meat, like paleo fanatics imply. But that's by the by, as I know these diets have huge fans.

Yes Dilly but today's wheat is very different. It has been modified for agriculture. Wheat does bad things to me so I don't eat it.

Paleo certainly doesn't say just eat meat.


It is about finding out what works for you - maybe in some parts of the world people ate grains and their ancestors will be ok with it. Almost like an elimination diet.

While one person may rip it to shreds, thousands and thousands have changed their lives by going paleo. These people GLOW, the change is amazing.

Yeah I know donna, but I'm just getting a bit fed up with my overweight friends leaping on these diet bandwagons, raving about it, getting a bit irritating and then falling off the diet bandwagon, only to jump onto a different one

I also slightly struggle with the 'wheat is evil' thing - I don't eat loads, but eat some, and I'm not overweight, I don't bloat, I don't have cravings

[donna-j]

Well then you are very lucky, aren't you? I can't touch it.

[DillyDally]

Well, if I'm lucky then I'm thankful. I have a disabled son, another son with different kinds of problems, a marriage that is literally hanging by a thread due to, well who knows what, at least I don't have to add having a problem with wheat to that lot.

I am the same in that if I do have breakfast I seem to be hungry all day. If I wait until later I too eat smaller meals. Not sure I fancy cold baths though.

I don't think Dillydally is saying that paleo diets are bollocks, just that it's a myth that that's how prehistoric people ate? I think that's fair enough especially since most people I know who do paleo seem to consume large amounts of protein powder.
