I went on the TF diet for a month when I weighed in at 79kg (166cm tall BMI 29), got down to 69kg then ended up so badly constipated that was at the hospital.
Gained 3kg in 4 days due to being so blocked up!
I did everything right, ate heaps of vegies, the fibre in the shakes etc, but it obviously wasnt right for MY body.
Tried it again about 6 months later, lasted 2 weeks before ending up back at the hospital.....not pleasent and the people at the chemist were not helpful at all and couldnt accept that maybe it isnt right for everyone.
Gained all but 2 kgs back.
Went to the doctors andshe put me on a course of Duramine. With the help of that, regular gym sessions and calorie counting I lost 12kg (77kg down to 65kg BMI 25).
Now with just watching what I eat and some exercise (netball once a week and walking the dog) I have maintained that weight for the last 4 months.
The TF diet can be somewhat unrealistic due to lack of carbs and caffeine but it seems to work for a lot of people.
My advice is input vs output, less calories in and more calories burnt up.
There is a great computer program called Calorie King that is ridiculously simple to use and very eye opening.
Good luck to all trying to loose weight!
