shifting calories?...jessica simpson?

has anyone else heard of or tried that diet? and another thing... jessica simpson lost 20 lbs in two months. i dont even remember her having that kind of fat on her body!! so do you think its possible for us mortal people to do it?

Its possible but it probably involved a lot of one on one exercise with a personal trainer and cutting a lot of calories. So it would be very hard for her or for anyone to keep it off. Especially if you are already slim.

I am on that diet right now...the 5 factor diet.  I really like it, but there are A LOT of complaints on the website.  I don't know how she managed to loose 20 pounds in two months, because the program is based on just eating around 1400-1500 cals/day (for someone like me, who is 5'3 and 140) and working out only 5 days a week for ONLY 25 minutes.  I like it because I am athletic and strong but my failing has always been my nutrition.  I now realise that nutrition is key and not working out like mad.  I have been injuring my body this way.  Also, I am totally toning up everywhere and this program really works your abs.  It is not for everyone, but I am very satisfied, as long as I follow the program and not derail.

she went on the 5 factor diet.. google it and see.. its not a real "fad" diet because it does teach you how to eat healthy without cutting any of the food groups :)

I have to wonder if she rapidly gained a bit of weight first.   But with a personal trainer and nutritionalist, you can push beyond the 1-2lb per week safe weight loss guideline.
