Have you heard of Tony Ferguson
HI,
I was currently in Boots looking at ways to lose weight as i am very unhappy with my weight since i was 18 (16 years ago). I can across a diet called Tony Ferguson. I wanted to know if anyone else has ever heard of the programme, if so can you give me a bit of information to whether it works, costs and any other relevent information i may need. Thanks. |

Thanks. -- fatfighter34 A quick look indicates it's a commercial operation where the essential idea appears to be replacing two meals a day with bars, shakes or soup which you obtain from them. The remaining meal/food is low glycemic. There is also a membership fee, etc. to join, though maybe you can do the diet without the membership. It may not be the worst thing and it might work for some. But why would you want to replace two meals a day with bars or shakes which are essentially highly processed products when a proven plan like Atkins allows you to eat real food for 3 normal meals? I have no problem with an occasional bar or shake as a snack or meal replacement, but I would not make it the center of my diet. I would bet that you're going to feel hungry most of the time too, because I doubt one of those shakes is going to satiate you like an omelet, a chef's salad, or chicken would. The soup they sell comes as a mix and you add water. I bet it's full of all kinds of interesting processed junk too. I don't know about you, but I prefer my food to be real. |

"Protein shakes" are not a substitute for REAL food. I'd avoid Tony like the plague.
