There was a thread about this on the Ya Ya board.
I'll copy and paste the review and post the link. I'm not sure the link will work for you.
Here's the link- http://firmbelivers.yuku.com/topic/28345
Here's what the review said:
I signed up - and two weeks in to it I cancelled. The food plan is O.K. but the amount of groceries (in VERY tiny amounts of perishable foods) that you need (with the list generated for you) is absolutely INSANE! I mean literally crazy - 1/8 lb of this, 1/2 of this (what's works, the other half never gets used, etc.) I even tried setting the menu to eat the same meals most days of the week and it was still crazy (and boring).
The recipes I did try were good but for a single working woman cooking for one it was just not doable (not even close - I spent $200 on the "required foods" in the first week and most of that spoiled because you only use very small amounts of it and the rest just went to waste). I had to cancel as I could not justify even giving it a better test run.
The concept is good, the website is good (the forums/message boards SUCK though - they claim all this "community" - there is none. I TRIED to get conversations started and it didn't work) but the price is too high (both in the program and what it costs you to buy the groceries).
I have seem MANY better calorie/carb cycling programs - CTFLC is a very good one and my all-time favorite NHE (Natural Hormonal Enhancement) that don't break the bank in terms of groceries and are MUCH easier to follow. This one is VERY labor intensive. I don't recommend it for that reason - not because the concept isn't good, it is - but the execution is only feasible for the person who has CONSIDERABLE time to devote to shopping and cooking. If you do sign up - DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE PLAN THAT PROMISES FASTER RESULTS - it's stupid and not worth the extra money.
Oh, and the "still eat your favorite foods" part they talk about - is very exaggerated.
