    Haven't heard of that one. How's the gas mileage?

    It's like all other diets, they don't work.

    I was going to try the tesla diet, but I couldn't afford it

    Seriously, though...

    It looks extremely restrictive for no good reason (at least in the first week). It doesn't have much positive going for it in my opinion, if the above link is an accurate representation of the diet.

    I just read the 7 day meal plan. I’d rather eat a bowl of wet hair every day than try to follow this woo

    :lol: Me too.

    This is the decades old Dolly Parton Diet. It keeps getting "branded" with new names, back in the 1970's very low fat diets were in fashion.

    This is a FAD diet. You will lose some weight (because it's low calorie) and even more water weight (which is temporary). In other words, don't bother. This is not something you will want to do for any length of time.

    What is the sense of living when you're on this diet?

    "On the first day, you should only eat fruits and nothing else. However, these fruits should not contain any form of potassium, starch or carbohydrates. This implies that you should completely avoid Bananas from your diet as your body is subject to detoxification on the first day." Emphasis added.

    Umm, that's a neat trick! :confounded:

    Wet hair can be quite delicious....

    This sounds like something that if the inventor read this thread, the next time they wrote a diet, it would somehow include wet hair.

    I did this years ago. I seem to remember eating nothing but tomatoes for about a week... It was really stupid.

    The GM workout is just lots of walking every where you go since you will get farther walking than driving a GM.

    Sounds like the equivalent of a Pinto. It'll probably just blow up in your face. :neutral:
