Anyone ever hear of the Apex Diet?

Lil Donna · 02-24-2010, 05:57 PM

There is a woman in our group following the Apex Plan and all I really know about it is that it is portion controlled and there are no pills.

This woman seems to lose about 3-4 pounds a week.

I'm just really really curious what she is eating.

Just came upon your post here on page 2 so I'm bumping for you in the hope someone knows something about it .. a regular 3-4 lbs a week is well, not anything I've experienced, lol! Could it be a medifast type thing?

It seems to be tailored to the individual.

Weight loss that fast makes me nervous. I know, just makes me think 'Kimkins' and that is so NOT healthy. I hope whatever it is its a healthy way to eat. I may have to google that

Apex brand is used in my gym. They tend to use a "block" program similar to the Zone in conjunction with their products. Don't know if that is what she is doing or not but thought I would chime in.

I googled it, and it says to put in your current weight and your target weight and it will make a diet/exercise progam for you. Also says they have the 'bodybug' but I have no idea what that is. Seems like exercise and pills, probably not for me lol lol

I believe that is the little device they use on Biggest Loser. Basically, you wear it all day, and it tells you how many calories you burned.

The old calories in, calories out theory.

lol oh, I don't care how many calories I eat. One of the best things about low carb, you can eat!!!

Yes she said she got it from her gym years ago and is following the same plan from back then. She said it is low calorie, low fat... not that I could do that but I just want to see what her food consists of. She says she doesn't take pills and eats four meals a day and is not hungry.
I;m just really curious on her food intake.

Ok, maybe I'm being obnoxious but, I'm gonna guess "not much"! lol!!! I agree with harleychic, it reminds me of VLC -- the original use for the term -- being "very low calorie" a la Kimkins and basically very unhealthy and unsustainable for the longterm ...
