Verdict : curves Diet

A diet plan review of this program suggests that while it is an effective way to kick start your weight loss, it is not sustainable. Indeed, the suggestion that once you come off the diet you can eat 2,500-3,000 calories a day, because your metabolism will adapt to the increase in food, is likely to see most women put all the weight straight back on.
