Tony Ferguson V's Optifast

[Pandora]

main meal, which can be any meal, is a palm sized (average for women is 120g, mine were close to 150 though) portion of lean protein beef/chicken/fish/lamb/pork etc or tofu.
There are lots of recipes online as well, the vegies you can have as a bit restricted, and no rice, pasta, grains, legumes etc. TBH I was eating a lot of stirfrys and salads - there is a list of commercially available foods that are TF approved on the forum as well.

Rayray, based on what you have just said what you eat for tea i think i can do this...this is bascially what we eat anyway. It almost sounds to good to be true, can't wait to start when i get back from NSW next weekend.

Thanks for all of your advice it has been greatly appreciated.

best of luck Westy i'm finding it great i've turned into a foodie i love concocting new meal ideas from the allowed list and i've lost close to 7 kg as well

I love TF!! Its kept me healthy and happy for 3years! Not only does it have really yummy milkshakes but i love their soups, when i feel extra hungry i just add a handful of frozen winter veges (brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, beans) and that gives it a better texture!

Anyway thought i might add my 2cents :P

Cheers Boo

Hi,

I went on the Tony ferguson diet for two weeks to lose some weight after having my first baby. I did lose a couple of kilos however i'm a very active person and got really dizzy and sick from having no carbohyrdates. I have since changed to Herbalife's shapeworks programs and have lost a further six kilos and have increased my energy levels alot. It works similar to the TF, you have two shakes a day as a meal replacement and then your main meal can be whatever you like (in moderation) there is also vitamins, minerals and energy supplement tablets that you can also have to aid in your weight loss and general well being. I have since started selling the products, one of the girls that i have on it is doing really well, she has lost 14 cms off her waist & 5cms off her hips in the first two weeks.
Hope this helps you. Good luck with acheiving your weight loss goals!

Hi Kym,

Thanks very much for your reply. I actually tried Herbalife about 5 years ago, it did work it worked really well but the pain i went through whilst on this program was simply to much to bear ( i don't want to go into tmi on here ) but lets just say im not going to go through that again!!!

Well done on your weight loss, thats fantastic!!!

You know people on normal low carb diets like Atkins or protein power have just as good results without having to restrict their calories and food so much. Personally I would try one of them first before a meal replacement program.

How are you going on this diet?

I've managed to lose about 12kg since the beginning of the year on my own, I've had some knee injury which plays up every now and then which forces me to rest more than I like to!!

I'm waiting for my first shipment to arrive this week - even though my diet is excellent, its going to be a bit of change for me, but I'm only going to use it for a month, like I said for a bit of a change and keeps me in check for the times that I feel that I can't workout as much as I would like because of my knee!
