10 Pounds in 10 Days: The Secret Celebrity Program for Losing Weight Fast

When I go to customer reviews on any product, I look to see... did the product work as expected? Especially weight loss, the bottom line is did the person lose weight with the product and how much?Here is my opinion of Jackie's book.First there were too many error's and typo's that a good editor should have picked up on! You do NOT need cottage cheese for phase one. In Phase two, the grocery list has 5 avocado's but they are not needed and I can't find where watercress is used either. Fortunately, when I made my grocery lists, I went by the actual menu not her lists so I got everything that was truly needed in one trip!Second, she plugs her other items way to much. I get it, your selling a product and trying to make money but I felt she over did it and do not plan on buying any of the items she promotes in her book.Third, one of her items she is selling is the craving control bars. Her book came out a few weeks ago yet the bars will not be ready for the first shipment until the beginning of May. I'm sorry but if you are selling a product in a book, don't you think it would have made sense to have them both available at the same time? She should have waited to sell the book once the bars were ready - Maybe she would have had time to correct all the errors in the book!I do like the fact she explained the exercises in detail so that people would do them correctly.However, I think she could have done without going into such detail about why she chose each food item. I skipped over that part.Frustrated that when I go on her Facebook page to ask an important question pertaining to the errors so I know if I'm eating properly, she does a crappy job in responding. I got more responses from people visiting her page than I did from her and who knows if my questions were answered correctly!Now for my stats:I am a 5' 7", 42 yr old, married, and a mom of 3 active, athletic teenagers. I have been on a weight loss journey since March 09. Started at 269 lbs. and it took 15 months to lose close to 90 lbs just by working out at the gym and counting calories (1,200-1,300 per day). My goal is to get to 150 and for the last 8 months or so I had been at a stand still, so when I saw Jackie's book I thought this would be the perfect kick start to end my plateau that I need to get out of.I THOUGHT I was following the menu to a T but on day 7 realized I was eating too much chicken at dinner. I was eating the 6 oz that was in the book, however, it's supposed to be 3 oz!! Grrr.I also felt that her workouts were less of a workout than what I was used to so in Phase 2 I'm doing my normal workout then adding hers to my daily routine.In the end, I was disappointed in my results and had I eaten the correct amount of chicken, I may have had better results.I started out day one at 171.4 and at the end of the 10 days I was at 165.0 for a total loss of 6.4 lbs.Here is my daily break downDay 1 171.4Day 2 170.0Day 3 169.6Day 4 168.2Day 5 168.6Day 6 167.8Day 7 166.8Day 8 166.6Day 9 167.6Day 10 165.4Day 11 165.0After completing the first phase, I took yesterday off (Easter) and today I am on day 1 of Phase two. Not giving up, I'm going to continue through the entire 30 days to see what the results are at the end.This time however, I am only weighing in on day 5 and 10 as it was to discouraging and frustrating for me to weigh in every day and not see the results I had anticipated.So between the errors in the book, not replying to my questions and the fact I did not lose the 10 lbs as I thought I would, only gave the book 3.5 stars. Very disappointed overall, but if you are at a plateau or want to get started on a healthy weight loss journey, it's worth getting. Just be cautious of all the errors.

I started this program 10 days ago and I lost 9 lbs in 10 days. I am pumped! To be fair, I started this diet after the holidays and after a weekend of stuffing my face, so I do think that my initial "weigh in" was higher than normal, however, 10 lbs in 10 days is great and I can see people who do not normally work out and eat healthy having a ton of success on this plan. I workout regularly, eat healthy, and am in fairly decent shape, but I gained weight over the holidays and wanted to get back in my skinny jeans.Though Jackie allows "no substitutions," there were a few changes I made to the plan. 1. I probably used way too much salt in my dinner (she doesn't give measurements for that) 2. I worked out and combined three days of her plan with three days of workouts I was already doing- boot camp style stuff. 3. I ate more broccoli at dinner than the recommended amount (b/c I was working out). 4. I drank plain club soda with dinner and sipped on black coffee throughout the day. 5. I did not use tomatoes on my lunch sandwich b/c they are not in season. 6. I didn't eat celery with my afternoon snack- only the almond butter. Perhaps I would have been more successful had I not changed it up.Having to follow the plan exactly was annoying at times because I love food, but I think that often times diets are not successful b/c they have too many options which almost urges people to overeat. This is idiot proof. I enjoy healthy eating, so once I wrapped my brain around the sprout sandwich, I was fine. I was able to prep my lunch the night before and it was super easy to eat on the go. This is portion control-not starvation. I was not really hungry on this plan except for the first few days as I was adjusting to the calorie difference. The dinner was yummy and didn't leave me feeling super stuffed at the end. I felt GREAT while going through phase 1. I was sleeping better and had tons of energy throughout the day.While the plan worked great for me, the book was clearly edited by someone who either has no clue what they are doing, or who doesn't care about their work. It's very frustrating how horribly edited it is. Grocery lists are way off and there are several typos throughout the book. I do think that Jackie could have better elaborated on a few things regarding food selection. For example, 6 oz of chicken for dinner... is that before or after cooking it? New potatoes... I would have appreciated the fact that they are also called baby potatoes. Whey protein... it would be nice to have some guidelines about buying this if we opt not to buy her brand.Ignore all the typos and take the time to read through before you start. It's a great plan and I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a kickstart to dropping a few lbs.

Ok

Jackie's plan is based on sound nutritional and fitness premises. However, there seem to be a lot of errors. There are items on her shopping list that are not on the menu, but most importantly her calorie counts are off. In phase one I calculated the daily calories to be 1500, not 950 as she claims. Part of this is due to her over simplification; there is no way to get portions right when all the information given is, for example: "3 small new potatoes" . According to online calorie charts these could be 120 calories each! 6oz of chicken for dinner is 284 calories by itself and is a huge portion. It should probably be a 3oz portion. Typo?In the workout portion of her plan, she repeats her instructions verbatim several times, but is very sparse with explanations.In general this is an easy to follow, simplistic plan'. The book should have been proof read a few more times!

Honestly, if you can work out like the exercises in this book, you won't NEED a book like this. Waste of time for anyone but the fittest and most committed gym addicts.

still working through this book. good ideas.

great book very easy to use and food is easy to make, would reccomend this book. you will lose weight on this diet i promise
