i did it for a week and lost 8 pounds. then i went off of it i gained back 10! it doesn't work and its bad for your health. researchers don't even know the long term effects of it, which probably aren't good!

I agree, I wouldn't recommend it!

That diet is so healthy for you that it's horrible. Basically all you're eating is carby meats, and you can't even eat fruit!!!! This diet does work, but after you go off of it all the weight you lost magically re-appears. I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't know of anyone who has actually kept w/ that way of life, but I'm almost positive that it doesn't work! I really wouldn't do it b/c if you have a huge binge you will gain more weight that if you were just on a regular restricted calorie diet!
