Six Week Body Makeover Recipes

The 6 Week Body Makeover was created by Michael Thurmond, who has been studying nutrition and fitness over the past 25 years. This program differs from other programs because it's not a diet, but a process that analyzes how your body reacts to food to help you lose weight while exercising less. The 6 Week Body Makeover plan uses a questionnaire to customize a meal plan for you, giving you a specific body type: A, B, C, D, or E. Therefore, recipes will differ for each person, but examples are available of what you can expect with the program.

  1. Chicken Marengo

    • This dinner recipe is suited for all body types, and is a chicken-and-rice stovetop recipe. You will need chicken breasts, whole canned tomatoes, white wine, an onion, and brown rice, as well as seasonings such as garlic powder, dried marjoram, thyme, and ground pepper. Combine the spices and rub them into the chicken breasts on each side. Drain the liquid from the canned tomatoes into a 10-inch skillet. Add the white wine and bring the liquid to a boil. Cut the onion into wedges, and add the onions and rice to the boiling mixture. Arrange the chicken on top of the rice, and place the tomatoes on top of the chicken. Cover the pan tightly, allowing it to simmer until all liquid is absorbed, which should take about five minutes. You will have a delicious meal without the salt, but not lacking in taste.

    Shrimp and Scallop Scampi Pasta

    • This recipe is also suitable for A, B, C, D, and E body types for dinner, and is a seafood pasta recipe. This recipe calls for both shrimp and scallops, but can be made with just one or the other. For this recipe, you will need rice pasta, shrimp, scallops, chicken broth, butter extract, shallots, garlic, tomatoes, lemon juice, white wine, crushed red pepper, and fresh parsley. Before you begin, soak the rice in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften it. Heat the chicken broth and butter extract in a skillet over medium heat, and then add the shallots, garlic, and red pepper. Saute until the shallots are golden brown, then add the shrimp and scallops, sautéeing over medium-high heat for about two minutes. Finally, add the white wine, lemon juice, tomatoes, parsley, and pasta. Sauté the mixture for three minutes until the pasta is heated thoroughly and becomes tender.

    Diet Cola Chicken

    • This is a shredded chicken recipe that tastes like barbecue chicken and can be served over rice, or eaten separately. This recipe is suited for all body types. To make Diet Cola Chicken, you will need chicken, an onion, a bell pepper, steamed mushrooms, minced garlic, diet cola, and homemade, plan-friendly ketchup. Brown the chicken breasts, then place them in a large pot and add all other ingredients, bringing the mixture to a boil. Lower heat and allow it to simmer until the chicken becomes tender and shreds easily, about 1½ hours. To make the ketchup, combine tomato paste, low-calorie sweetener, water, white vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Combine all ingredients in a small pot and simmer for about 10 minutes. Pour over the chicken to serve.
