Great Lindy! Hang in there!

Yep, I originally completed it in 2010 and had huge success with it and kept it all off for almost 2 years. Some life changes recently added back on, but currently I am motivated enough to get it all down again to my great low that I am actually sticking to the diet

Good to see some other blogs on this adventure!!

Dear Marlyse,
I just want to thank you very much for a very comprehensive website and for providing a great inspiration to your readers. I was on the Bead Diet 2 yrs ago and had lost 20-25 lbs. I didn’t regain all of the lbs back except 5 lbs. But, I plan to lose some more lbs specially I am determined to attend my 25th high school reunion in July 2012.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. May God bless you always.
Teresa

Sorry to hear about this.

It seems that you did not follow the recommendation of 5 days off diet and if ‘overdone’ then 1-2 days back on milk – if you keep on doing this, you ought to be good and not gain back.

Obviously you ARE eating more calories than your body is needing, so either you need to move/exercise the amount of “over-”calories or you need to eat less and more controlled or you need to add those 1-2 days of milk back into your life. It’s the only way. If you eat too much your body will learn again to be fat.

To gain 16 lbs back in 5 months … the math is simple :

1 pound = 3,500 calories.
5 months = 5 x 30 days = 150 days
16 pounds = 16 x 3,500 = 56,000 too many calories in 150 days
56,000 / 150 = 374 calories too much per day

The bad news is that this means : don’t eat that additional piece of cake each day or that double-cream latte at Starbucks. The good news is that these 374 calories are not THAT much to get under control.

But you will need to get the amount of food/beverage intake versus activity under control. It’s the only way.

Was in the diet, lost 60lbs.
Had transition for 2-3 months.
5 months later I gained back 16lbs…I am very sad…..how could I have a regular life after the bead diet? I was told my body was not going to remember I was fat. During the 5 months I didnt binge or had a bad diet…I just WASNT on the bead diet and slowly started to get all the weight back…why this battle? how could I conquer it??

Got it. Nice on your loss! If you are on the beads diet and join the email list group, there are a TON of recipes and good ideas, here, on my site, I’ve just put those which I personally liked best.

This time around I did not join the email list group as I feel comfortable enough to do it this time on my own, so I do not have any insight on latest recipes.

Thanks. The plan I am on currently uses the beads as well (sadkhin complex), I attend the center and have already lost 16lbs. Unfortunately, they do not have an abundance of recipes and there are no forums for persons to post new ideas like your Tips page. Overall I am satisfied but I wish I had more recipes

If you get some awesome finds from the emails, could you please consider posting. I have already received great insight from reading your old posts Thanks!

Thank you!

With the BeadsDiet you do not pay for the emails, you pay for the beads and support – and they really take care, I had my support person follow up on me even 3 months after I was officially done back in 2009.

What is really nice is that there is a user group email list for people on the diet and that has been major support for many, many users.

Paying for the beads and all is also a good motivation to stick to the program, next to the benefit that they really help.
