I usually do not register anywhere to post a comment but this time i had to. Im a single dad and since my son has moved in with me i gained like 30 pounds! I walk regular and lite jogging. But with his activities and me having to be there i have really gone off track. Its late when his sports are done and we ( or should i say I ) have become lazy. Its easier to hit a dollar menu or put a 15 minute pizza in the oven than it is to take the time to cook a meal.
So i stumbled across this diet and tried it out.
The claim for 18 pounds in 4 days i suppose could be true but even i know its not healthy to lose that much weight so quickly. But i did lose weight and i felt like it was a good way to jump start things and get on track again. I lost 10 pounds in 5 days. ( water weight maybe?* ) but thats what the scale said. But i continued my daily walk routine. 20 minutes high intensity. Where i wasnt losing anything before with old habits i quickly lost ten with that program.
The foods arent bad. Grapefruits, beans, tomatoe and prune juice. Hamburger, chicken, water, eggs,prune juice, apples, Tuna,coffee, tea etc. So where is any of this bad?
Its all cheap food , its good for you and easy to make!
I prepped for 4 days in one hour and my grocery bill was only 30 bucks.I felt better and had energy. After four days you seem to get a sence of how you should eat and incorporate better foods for the days you are not on it. After a week or two i went back on it. I lost 5 more pounds.
So 15 pounds in a month. That is not a stretch by any means of an unrealistic goal, while dieting with cardio.
Granted i was already doing cardio, i was eating wrong and this helped me out, big time. I sent him an email thanking him and i feel better. It is something i will keep doing for a long time. I hate tomatoe juice. I hate prune juice, But hey, it works, So i drink it.
I think some people should not be so negative , especially if they dont have the facts about something. And if you have never tried it, you really do not have the right to call something false. You need to take in less than you burn and you need to do it healthy. These foods are healthy, so whats the problem and why do some say it is unhealthy?**
