A lot!
It seems that people are always looking for 'tweaks' to jazz up the program or, more commonly, acceptable alternatives (read cheats) that they can employ to make the program better fit their 'lifestyle' as they put it.
So look, here's my feedback to you all.
You might not like all that you hear but nonetheless it's true with no B.S involved, meaning that you'll get better results faster.
Time for some straight-talk.
Sound good to you?
1. Just Follow the Diet... To the Letter!
Very few people write me to say that they got disappointing results from the diet, but those that do are always, ALWAYS those who try to get cute with the diet and change it in some way.
Leave it alone.
It works.
Just follow it for 30 days, keep all the banned foods from your diet for the entire time and Bob's your uncle, results guaranteed!
Mess with it, change it and convince yourself that 'a little change here and there won't hurt' and you're no longer following the protocol. If you're no longer following the protocol you're no longer guaranteed results.
You need to ask yourself this simple question.
'Do I want results or do I want to do things my way?'
No offence intended to anyone here but if you're downloading a dietary system off the web, you're probably not happy with one or more aspects of your health, fitness or physique, all of which you've had 100% control over developing up to this point... and failed. Or at least, haven't achieved what you want to achieve in these areas.
So your way's not working.
Yet I know for a fact that my way does. EVERY TIME!
Look, the elimination diet is just 30 days long, it'll give you great results IF YOU DON'T MESS WITH IT.
So don't mess with it ok?
Read the manual. Follow the manual. Take nothing away. Add nothing. Change nothing. Results guaranteed.
Couldn't be simpler : )
Get Active
The elimination diet is powerful in and of itself even without exercise. On average, the 38,000 people that have been through the program so far have lost between 15 and 20lbs in the 30 days.
Many have lost more.
MUCH more.
But those who go on to break double-digits in fat loss have nearly always added exercise to their programs and so should you if you want to make the most of your time on the program.
The best program is one that includes resistance training in a 'circuit training' style or supersets. The one i recommend most is from my good buddy Craig Ballantyne at Turbulence Training. The program is a great accompaniment to the Elimination Diet and will speed up your fat loss better than practically everything else I've come across.
That said, you don't HAVE TO have a professionally designed program. Just getting more active on a daily basis will help. Committing to a bodyweight or freeweight routine 3 times a week will really tip the balance in favor of fatloss and changing your body shape fast.
Whatever you do though, do SOMETHING!
Don't just sit on your butt HOPING that you'll change your body shape. That's what you've been doing up til now and it hasn't worked so why would it suddenly start working now?
Guarantee your results by being proACTIVE and committing to making it happen and it will. Sit on your butt and nothing happens. Your choice.
Stop Blaming Willpower. You Don't Need It!
There may be times during the elimination diet when you find yourself in social situations where following the diet will be hard. Your willpower will be tested.
Deal with it.
I know that sounds uncaring but it really isn't.
I mean, plan ahead and actually deal with it.
Bring suitable foods or snacks of your own, phone ahead to find out what the menu is in advance so that you can plan or simply don't go. Just don't whine and complain that there's nothing you can do about it. There is. No-one can MAKE you eat and drink the foods that are banned on the diet.
You choose to.
Admit it and you're immediately empowered.
Deny it and you put all the problems related to your health, fitness and physique 'out there' by saying that you don't play a part in creating the body you wear.
Plan and create your menu in advance or choose not to go. You don't have to slip up. You choose to...
...or not!
Don't Quit
Stay with the diet.
It's only 30 days.
The results are guaranteed.
It's free.
All the information and resources required to make the changes you claim you want are right here, right now and free.
What more do you want?
You need to make a true decision and commitment to finishing the 30 days and on no account even entertain the idea that you won't finish it. The word decision mean 'to cut off from all other possibilities'. Have you?
Don't look for a get out of jail free card.
There isn't one.
If you don't commit to the program then you won't get the results you want. In effect, you're back in jail. Trapped in the body you no longer want.
The only breakout comes from finishing what you start.
So finish!
It Ain't So Hard!
Look, the truth is that whilst the elimination diet may be challenging to some at first, it's not really that hard. You're being asked to kick out the foods that have built the body you're wearing. The body you no longer want.
You say you want better so make it happen.
And it's 30 days.
Just 30 days.
And they're going to pass anyway, regardless of whether you do the program right or not, right?
Just like the last 30 and the 30 before that and the 30 before that.
Time passes, that's inevitable.
You can't do anything about it.
But what you can choose, what you have 100% control over, is what you spend that time on.
So spend it well and commit.
Your results are waiting!
Get to it : )

Very similar to the advert for Shredded Wheat (not allowed in ED by the way).
ED nothing added or taken away, just good healthy diet instructions that work.
avoid them and be guaranteed to be dissapointed
