Today is Day Nine of my nutritional intervention by Ilana Katz. This plan was mentioned in this post, which told everyone what I weighed.
And boy, did the emails pour in from you guys! What is this plan? You are not doing this safely! That is not safe weight loss! How can I get this plan!?
Last week, I was hungry. I started on the Plan on Sunday. By Thursday, I was down 8.8 pounds. Yes, that is correct. The Expert was down 7.8 pounds. Yes, that is also correct. Amazing results, strong trajectory, and I had lots of energy.Then I spent the weekend falling off a little (because we were WC… “without children”). So we had a few days off-plan, but I am happy to report….
I am still down 7 pounds. In a little over a week. So.
Many of you have asked about this Plan (there is a Gluten Free version too). I wanted to just give it away, but I realized that I can’t because it’s not “mine” to give away. It’s Ilana’s years of hard work and meal-planning to perfection. But I wanted to see if she would give it away to you guys for a discount. So I asked her. And she agreed that all my Swim Bike Moms and Dads deserve this plan…
So here it is: THE THREE WEEK METABOLIC BOOST and the GLUTEN FREE THREE WEEK METABOLIC BOOST.
Ilana is offering it to SBM friends for $12 (Gluten Free is $15). This is the exact SAME menu that I am eating. The same one that has taken 7 pounds off of me in 9 days.
A few things I want to mention:
1) I am releasing this plan through Swim Bike Mom because it works. Period. I would not release something to you if I did not believe in it. I am approached several times a day to “pimp” products. vitamin waters, triathlon DVDs, vitamins, protein powder, coaching services. I only promote what I believe in. You see how I rarely do “giveaways” and sponsored posts… I won’t do that stuff for just kickbacks. It’s not worth telling you guys “I love coconut water,” just to make $25. I value my SBMs and friends waaaaay too much. So, I would NOT release this if I did not believe in it.
2) Ilana is willing to release her valuable info for such a great price – I could not refuse. It’s a huge value. Three weeks of fool-proof meals for $12? We spend that at the pub for a beer and onion rings. Seriously.
3) This plan requires NO thinking. And virtually no cooking – so it’s perfect for a busy mom or dad. You just buy the groceries in the plan and you eat them. You do not cook anything except some protein for the week (grill chicken, fish and boil eggs), which you can do all at once on Sunday and Ziploc in the fridge until needed; and
4) The proof is in my BUTT PUDDING. Butt pudding? Butt pudding? What? Well, my butt has less… jiggles on it. Less pudding. Already. Butt pudding. Less of it. It’s nice. And finally…
5) I mean business.
This is a simple, three week meal plan with grocery lists. You will eat small meals. Follow the plan exactly, and you will see results. ***THERE IS A GLUTEN FREE OPTION TOO!*** Ilana also has gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options for specific needs – contact her directly: www.onforlife.com.
And by saying, “I mean business,” I want you guys to get on board with me… so many of you don’t know where to start with nutrition (ah-hem, I certainly didn’t), and this is an amazing start. You see results quickly, but not by starving… rather, by revving up your metabolism. You’ll see.
No gimmicks. Just whole foods, eaten smartly and in ways to fuel your body and prepare it for clean, fat-burning eating. This is not a binge–it’s a way of eating, a plan for starting, and hopefully, a change (for me) for life.
[Proof is in my butt pudding, remember?]
You can go here for the Three Week Metabolic Boost (and the Gluten Free Version) eBook by Ilana Katz. It’s a simple, $12 download ($15 for Gluten Free) through the SBM Store.
Thanks, and I’d LOVE to know who is participating so we can join hands, sing kumbayah and celebrate our victories.

Thanks!! I have been meaning to order your book and just hadn’t sat down to do it…so I just got the book and Ilana’s eBook. Can’t wait to take a look!! Here’s to less butt puddin’!
I know Ilana, and she knows what she is doing. Meeting with her is on my list of “off-season” things to do, so you are inspiring me. I’ll have to talk to her individually since I need gluten-free, but I am going to call her. Maybe those last 15 pounds will finally come off.
Purchased. Excited. You are awesome!
Technology challenged here. Bought and “downloaded” this plan on an iPhone. Now have no idea how to find it. Somehow closed and is it possible I completely lost it? Any advice (other than avoid iPhones and other things I don’t understand)??
Just downloaded my copy!! Thank you sooo much!! Like many others on here, I totally identify with you and am inspired by you… I have been doing sprint and olympic distance triathlons for the last several years, some 5 and 10k’s and even a couple of half marathons… I want to do a half ironman and ultimately an ironman?? (whooaa…better slow down, one big step at a time!! ha!) But I feel like I can’t do it at “this weight”..sure I “could” but it would be painful and hard and kill my body to get across that finish line… I think it would be much easier and I would enjoy the training process more if I were a little more aerodynamic!! (and I’m not talking about my bike!) So in this off-season, weight loss and getting ready to begin my training plan for my first half-ironman (Racine Wisconsin in July 2013) is my goal!!
I’m IN! Just ordered the book. Butt puddin’ BE GONE!
I have a question that I’m not sure you could answer here. Are there a lot of “expensive” ingredients in the plan? I know quinoa is (at least where I’m at) and I so want to get the plan but if it’s going to be a lot of things I can’t even afford then I guess I’m gonna have to pass, even though I don’t want to.
Thanks for sharing this SBM & Ilana 🙂 I just bought mine- maybe these last 10 pounds I am trying to drop off for speed and less injury will do the trick! Woot!
I just purchased the 3 week plan and your Tri eBook (anxiously waiting the actual books in December). I am so excited to give your books as gifts. I see it as the gift of believing in yourself. I am off to Myrtle Beach this weekend for a run but will start the eating plan when I return.
Count me in. Oh God.
Thank you! I got it and hope to do it right away!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! But one question, do you need to eat the meals in the order they are presented? Some of them are harder for me since I work in the OR and can’t take breaks every couple of hours. 🙁
So what do you do after the first 3 weeks?
Thats great! Thanks! Your so quick to respond. 🙂
Alright, Im in! Lets do this!!
Can I use the code to order the vegetarian version?
Would you say there are sufficient calories for a nursing mom? I would love to lose some more of this baby weight, but I seem to notice a dip in my supply when I do anything too drastic. Otherwise, sounds like a great meal plan to try!
Do you know if she has a plan for (or works with) vegan diets? I’m newly vegan but feel MUUUUUUCH better eating vegan, and am hoping to finally get myself to my first triathlon (just pre-ordered your book too!)
There’s not a specific code… it wil be available in the Store shortly… 🙂 Probably by Saturday…
I spoke with Ilana, and she said to email or call her directly. She says you would want to add 300-500 calories, and she has a way to do it… contact her here: http://www.onforlife.com/contact-us/
Hi Tara – Ilana is putting out a vegetarian version shortly – you would probably know what to substitute to make it vegan, as there’s very little dairy on her plan anyway, with the exception of some yogurt – so you could get the veg version and just omit the yogurt and or sub for soy yogurt. 🙂
Thanks!!
I’m in start on Monday!
Hi! I just bought the vegetarian version of the plan and have a couple questions. What are the plans rules about beverages? Caffeinated (coffee, black tea, green tea, etc.) and caffeine free (herbal tea, seltzer water, etc.). How about milk substitutes such as almond milk & soy milk? Ultimately I want to know if I can still drink my coffee with almond milk & stevia? I also would like to understand why tofu (processed?) is recommended over beans (not so much processed)?. Perhaps my questions require a direct consult with Ilana, but thought I’d try here. Thx!
Week one day one! So far, so good. Hoping to lose what I gained back in the last 6 months.
bought the plan. Looks solid and something I can be successful with. Thank you for sharing. I have a few questions and thought I’d start here but would be happy to go to Ilana as well. Milk substitutes? Can I use Almond milk? The muscle Milk and Milk 1 drinks-oh dear Lord, I become the gas monster if I drink these, any substitute ideas? And last but not least, dare I say the word alcohol -none for 3 weeks, I know I’m weak. But I have so many events the next 3 weeks, and what if I cave and have something. How dire is it to be alcohol free and what is acceptable? One of your adoring followers.
