  • The Ketogenic Switch

7/28/19

I signed up after watching the sales pitch of Debra, saying that most of the food on her lists would be everyday food I have in my cubard. (Not true) And what a great Facebook group for support through challenge, (Not true) also on the add it showed a book full of recipes and meal plans. (Which you don't get a book) Also said you will get a tracker to put ur progress down on etc. But reality is you have to down load the info and print it off so using your own paper, ink, also the tracker is just a glorified spread sheet that's not android phone friendly you need a lap top or computer. The Face book group works when Facebook is not playing up or the group, I had issues posting comments, and after seeing the strict unrealistic food list with a number of foods I don't like, it left me with very little choice to eat over 30 days. So for me to take part I'd be limiting myself to a very boring diet of salad and meat or veggies and meat no snacks no drinks other that green tea or water how can anyone stick to that, and if you fail to stick to it you fall out of ketosis and fail. Also I worked it out and basicly by restricting the diet your eating under 1000 kcal perday so of course you will loose weight. But you will suffer constipation and or diarrhea for the duration. If you can stick to everything listed you may be less likely to have bad diarrhea but as humans we have tastes and not all the same, so my point is it's unrealistic. So I decided I did not fancy doing it as it was not clear it was keto style upon signing up and I'd not started the challenge which was 1st August, I was told I would not be allowed a refund unless I took part and prove it didn't work. Trying to force me to do something, so I could get a refund. I'm not saying someone would not loose weight on this of course you will If YOU CAN EAT the very limited food list and STICK to it. But you will pile it back on after the challenge as its unrealistic to change habits of a life time in just 30 days, so what's the point. The food list sent out upon purchase had to be changed apparently according to the face book group. As the food list had things missing or not right on it or something. I've still not had the revised version.
Im loosing weight and keeping it off by fasting and eating low Carb meals that I enjoy that's not so restricted. So I don't need to restrict myself stupid to loose weight just to put it back on. I just don't agree that the sales pitch given is what you get upon purchase its false advertising. I'm not alone in feeling this the fb group has many ladies stating the same once they realise what they have signed up for. They they are told by Debra's admin support group assistants that they are just overwhelmed and to "give it a go", as they will not get a "refund". So if you like being told you have no rights and that basicly your stupid cause you had been told all this on sign up and that it's perfectly clear before you paid what this challenge is, (but it's not clear) then go ahead find out for ur self.
