I was just wondering if any others out there have had problems with people, ie friends, coworkers and such that will try everything in the world to steer you off track?
I got a buddy on the program, did great, we both in turn got one of his coworkers on the program and he is just being bombarded by others about the risks of MF, the detriment to his health that may occur and all other nonsense.
I frequent a site that I post a great deal on and I waited until the 40# mark before I mentioned MF and what it was doing for my life. Man, did I open a can of worms, everything from "more than 1# loss per week is not healthy" to "do you understand how much muscle mass you are losing?" I posted that one of my very best friends is a Doctor here in East Texas, we are together a couple of times a week and he thinks it is great, providing I make a lifestyle change with my eating habits, all is well and he is very happy with the success I am enjoying. There are a couple of clowns that have insinuated that he may not be that great of a Doctor if he is endorsing such a program.
I let it in one ear and out the other but the folks I have turned onto MF and speak to about it's benefits are more influenced by other's opinions. Deep down, I sometimes feel that these naysayers do not want to acknowledge an easy to follow, easy to stick to program because it simply gives them no excuse to be overweight.
The best one I have had so far is a friend's mom, that wants her son(my friend) to lose weight, he is about 260# right now. I have not seen her in a couple of months and I ran into her, down 47#, from a 46" to a 38" waist and from an XXL to a LARGE shirt. You can imagine her excitement, just ecstatic over my appearance and "What did you do?? What did you do?? and " You need to tell my son, sooner than later". All this and when I mention MF, it was if you popped her balloon, game over and her reply was "Are you sure that is a safe way to lose weight?"
I tell everyone this, "Yes, it is very simple and safe and it really revolves around not putting as much food into your mouth as you have in the past." I add that it does take willpower and determination to reach your goals and you will have to give up a lot of the things that you love to eat, mainly due to the fact they are empty calories or just plain bad for you. The MF program works if you can follow instructions and want to lose weight and you need to order it sooner than later because you will be upset with yourself that you did not do it sooner, it is that easy.
Sorry for the rant, it has been bugging me here lately.
