The Ketogenic Switch

I joined because it sounded healthy and I was promised loads of energy. Ketosis is a three week process that can involve extreme side effects. There was not enough careful guidance through this process. Scattered information, support seemed to be at random by a sisterhood and a constant sense you are not doing it right. But how do you know when the rules are vague and you are told you won't get it if we tell you what to do. I was blocked because I got so frustrated with the program. I am very grumpy when I have been constipated for a week. No warning came for this or my muscles all contracting and oh the Charlie horses! Heart beating out of my chest. Now my body is so screwed up! Constant thirst. No amount of broth and salt cures it! No one has made contact with me. A few customers were suffering from organ failures and heart attacks! Consumer beware!

Having tried every other imaginable eating plan (WW, SW etc) this by far is the best. Deborah has given me back control of my menopausal weight gain and hot flushes and I never go hungry. The weight is just falling off. If you give your self time to get into this, adjust and follow to the book you will see amazing results. A few of my friends have been following this with me too, all with brilliant results. Certainly not a scam for us. The health benefits and general well-being are well worth it! Thank you so much Deborah, you have given myself (and my friends) our lives back and we all feel amazing

When I came across Debra's programme I had bee looking for a programme that would help me to stop eating sugar, eat healthily and lose weight and this programme ticks all those boxes.
I love the way there is lots of information given in books, workbooks, and videos to explain why each of the stages is helping to reduce inflammation in the body and therefore helping to lose weight.
Yes there is lots of info but it's broken down into bite size chunks and they encourage you to work through it on a weekly basis.
I also think the fact that Debra helps you to address Mindset is key to success.
Yes it is similar to Keto in that you get your body into ketosis so that you're burning fat and not feeling hungry but it has been adapted to incorporate many healthy foods.
I would definitely recommend this plan if you are ready for fundamental lifestyle change, are happy with receiving lots of information to work through and don't mind cutting out sugar and bad carbs.

It is several months later and I have gained all the weight back plus more!
I never got to finish the program because the minions blocked me because I was complaining about being in a lot of pain.
Now the 15 pounds I lost plus 20 more are back. It just piled on quickly and I have never gained weight that fast in my life! I still can't walk properly after getting horrible cramps in my legs. If I could sue this woman I would. But last I observed she had been traveling in Italy eating pizza with all the money she is raking in while the next batch of volunteers make money for her.

I expected something far more substantial for my money. I was upsold when buying the diet itself for 47 dollars. Not sure how they can justify 19 dollars for 21 recipes. I have written to complain. Disgusted.

This is a whole food approach to food, low carb, ketogenic but not as you'd know it. You don't have to count carbs, and vegetable and fruit are absolutely required - but the amounts are planned out for us, and you do need to stick to the plan and learn new way of eating while in active weight loss. It will take some getting used to, and you do need to invest in reading and listening, but once you do and you get in the groove it turns the world around:-) All the support is there, online and through chats and lives to help you balance mind body and spirit.

Same as the other bad reviews. No care no response nothing personal
Just I
Am the best. Follow me. She has an automated message on messenger and never answers you... but the minions do by us saying I want to speak
To a human. Doesn't say it's keto doesn't say it's
In US $. Won't refund and they talk to us
Like we're stupid
And over sensitive. Won't address what your talking about. STAY AWAY Plenty of OTHERS wish I'd read these
Bad reviews first

I have been losing weight by cutting out all sugar and eating non-processed(non-packaged) food. When I saw the video I was interested in speeding up my weight loss so I signed up. It wasn't until I had downloaded everything and started to read it (lots of reading here) that I realized it was the KETO diet. I really did not want to go on another diet since the way I have been eating is working, sometimes slower than I like. So I asked for a refund right away. Because it was in the first 5 days of ordering, I got a refund right away. No problem!
That's why I'm giving it 4 stars!

I joined up with TKS over a year ago now as I was a yoyo dieter. It isn't your usual Keto Diet as it is geared around a lifestyle and long-term change. If you are after a quick fix weight loss program to then go back to your old ways, then this isn't for you. But if you truly want to change your habits to become healthy and the size you were meant to be then I definitely recommend it. I started with the 30 day program and had great success so joined the lifetime program. Awesome health benefits.

I cant believe how much gratitude i have for this program.

I have tried everything to loose weight... and failed.

But 12 months on and i have maintained a 20kg loss.

I feel calmer, my skin glows and niggley aches and pains are gone.
My sleep and energy levels have never been better.

The plan is simple to follow and not restrictive at all.
They have a lady (Bel) who provides weekly new recipe ideas.
The TKS team are loving, kind and supportive.

This isnt just a diet... its a lifestyle that is flexible, adaptable and healing.

Signed up hoping for a simple package. After many attempts to upsell me, I signed up to the bare minimum. Changed my mind, requested refund, only to be told that they no longer use paypal and so cannot refund me. This seems ridiculous. Am dealing with Paypal and really finding this entire thing a royal pain in the arse. Talk about make things difficult. Its a refund. Put the money in my bank account by transfer if I am one of a few that this has happened to... according to them it's just unlucky that I cancelled on the cusp of their relationship with paypal falling apart. Also the upsell aspect and the very poor recipe book and the difficult to navigate the website, and the can't be in the facebook group because you didn't buy the upsell programs was just rubbish. I ended up joing the Diet Doctor program which has thousands of recipes, a wonderful app, a free to join facebook group and Im losing weight. I know low carb works as I lost 34kg in 20 weeks over ten years ago on my own... without a group, but I have been unwell and just felt I needed support to get through this.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS THIS IS A SCAM! $840 stolen! Please PAY ATTENTION! This is one of the most DISTRESSING experiences I have ever had.
I've been charged three times totalling $840.00.
I cancelled my membership and made it clear that I do not want to be charged for another year. (This was done well before the next year of membership was due) I sent 8 emailing explaining that I cancelled but charged 3 times. They acknowledged that it was a mistake and that someone didn't cancel the auto renewal. But absolutely no care factor for the distress cause and still the money they stole hasn't been put back on to my credit card. I don't believe this was a mistake because the same thing happened to friend. She too is fighting to get money back and also charged not once but three times. BEWARE there is an auto renewal so they will just keep taking money. This is very sneaky, can't imagine the amount of people they have ripped off who don't even realise. I'm still waiting for my $840 and I feel sick to the stomach.

I have been following the Ketogenic Switch programme since January 2017, and as of August 2017 have lost 23 kg in weight - without exercise.
This programme is based around eating a wholefood, ketogenic diet - excluding foods like grains, potato, breads, processed foods etc and mainly gaining energy from healthy fats like coconut oil, flaxseed oil, high quality whole milk/cream, coconut milk, nuts and seeds etc. The plan does include some fruits, along with lots of leafy green vegetables and other vegetables etc.
Along with the eating plan, Deborah Murtagh, the founder, also provides a strong focus on the Mind Switch aspect - which means working on your reasons for wanting to lose weight and addressing other issues in life that might be holding you back, and keeping that weight on.
I think this is a particularly good fit for people who are interested in keto but prefer to eat wholefoods rather than loads of bacon and processed meats etc which are widely used in many other keto diets.
There is a large and very active private Facebook group providing a lot of information and support, especially for new members, and it really makes a difference. My before and during photos were taken in December 2016 and August 2017.
