Beyond Calories
I purchased this diet in February when my husband and I decided to go on vacation to the beach. At 5′6”, I was tipping the scale at 180. I could not believe how heavy I was! I lost 9 pounds the first cycle (on the accelerated version called “Beyond Calories.”). On Cycle 2, I lost 4 pounds, and now I am half-way thru Cycle 3 and have lost no additional weight so far. I have gone down one dress size, and I feel more energized and sleeping better. I am working out 6 days per week, and recently added some strength traininig. Perhaps I have not lost more weight because I am building muscle… but I am not sure. Overall, the diet is easy (very easy) to follow and I can eat some of my favorite foods (including cheese and different types of deli meats).
I would recommend the diet because it teaches you about food portions, knowing when to stop eating and how often to eat. However, this diet fails to provide long-term weight-loss support and tips on workout routines. The diet is an e-book, and there are no counselors available to help you if you have questions. If I had to rate the diet on a scale of 1 to 5, I would give it a 3. It is a good “base” to start a weight loss program, but I would benefit from more personalized support and more food preparation instructions. Overall though, it is a straight-forward and easy program to follow.
Best wishes to all on your weightloss goals! I will stay on this program for another month to see if the weight keeps dropping.

My wife found WL4I in August and we have gone through almost four cycles where I have lost 28 pounds and my wife has lost almost 20 in the same time. We are on day 8 of our fourth cycle and have enjoyed the success.
This includes two weeks off in the middle of this (two vacations...one we did not diet AT ALL and the other we did stay to the longterm rules of 4 meals, stop eating at the right time, basically and extended version of the 3 days off.)

I am at the end of 3 weeks (I am on day 6 of my second 11 day menu) and I am so far down 10.6lbs. So I am very pleased. Like the last poster said , it does get kinda boring on the same foods but there are days on the menu I look forward to (when I get fruits and mixed nuts)and I also like having 3 days off every 2 weeks to break things up. Hope everyone else is doing good.

This diet is Fab (for me) I would give it 5 stars!!! It is well worth the money… it tells you exactly that you need to know and will truely re-educate the way you think of food! So when you reach your goal you should easily be able to keep the weight off!!!!! (:
I chose this diet after trying all manner of diets from the tv, the papers and the internet. I spent a couple of years doing weigth watchers and my weight just went up and down each week. My mum on the other hand lost weight easily with weight watchers and managed to keep slim afterwards (she finished over 5 years ago).
The thing with this diet is thst it is so easy, providing you have enough imagination to cook different things. There is a wide choice of foods to pick from (I am refering to the Diet Generator) and the generator usually gives a well balanced selection of meals… but if you don’t like the combinations it gives you, you can just go back and resubmit your choice and it jumbles them all up again… its a bit of trial and error!
Anyway, I agree that it is not likely you’ll lose 9-11 lbs each and every fortnight, and weight loss will slow down, as with any diet when you get to those last few lbs! But between the beginning of August and mid December last year, I lost OVER 3 STONE!!! (from 13.10 to 10.7) I had a 3 weeks off over christmas, and after 1 fornight cycle had got back to the weight I was before i took my “time off”. My weight loss has now slowed, but its still working so I am over the moon.

If you are still checking this… sometimes it is a case of just eating chicken on its own, but as I said before, you just need to keep submitting your choices and in a few attempts a you get the right combinations! You can also eat lots of foods which you often cant on many diets (frozen yogurt- any type!, cheese- any type!!!, nuts, sausages, bacon, the list goes on…) and dont be put off by what seems like a really boring list of foods… just use your imagination! And the price hasn’t really doubled… what the review doesn’t say was that they put it offer for a little while… I think theres an offer on now too!

I hope you see this… the diet will work if you follow the menu above but probably only for a month or so as the diet works on a theory that you need to shift the types of foods (and therfore calories) you eat during each cycle.
Anyways, Hope this review helps!!!

I started WL4I back in mid August. I lost a total of 20 pounds. To date I am still down 20 pounds and very happy about it. I took some time off posting and have been on and off the diet since then. I would start an 11-day period and then 5 days later something would come up (you name it) to throw me off schedule. Then I started again...then unexpected company. It's always something. There have been some seemingly permanent changes, though. I have kept the water intake up and have noticed that I make smarter choices now. I stop eating when I’m almost full. I eat some kind of breakfast every morning (which I never did before). I've noticed that if I don't exercise and drink plenty of water every day I feel lethargic.
