by James Kim The Michael Thurman makeover is about eating more healthy foods and eating less fat. Remember, the key to losing weight on this program is to never miss a meal. If you skip a meal, you won’t lose weight because that’s now how this program works. Go shopping for the whole week and buy everything that you need all at once. That way you won’t have to go back and forth to the grocery store. Make sure that you plan out your meals ahead of time and bring your grocery list with you.
