Eat Your Heart Out Diet

EmilyHughes801

Has anyone heard of this diet? Or tried it? It lasts 7 days. Fruit only on day one, day two veggies, day three veggies and fruit, and so on. Since I'm on spring break this will be the only chance I'd be able to try this diet because once school starts again I'll be forced to eat food from my culinary class. Really would like feedback. I tried this diet for 4 days once (not strictly), but I lost 3-5 pounds.

I would beware of doing something that you can't continue to do for a lifetime. Eating healthier to lose weight should be a lifestyle.

Haven't heard of it, but from your description it doesn't sound at all balanced. You might lose weight due to the calorie restrictions of just eating fruit and veggies but where's the protein? Healthy fats? Almost guaranteed that as soon as you start eating food from your culinary class, you'll put the weight right back on.

Try to eat a lot of different foods (carbs/protein/fat) and eat at a calorie deficit. That's the way to lose weight and keep it off!

A pound of body fat equals around 3500 calories, which is the deficit you need to create to lose one pound. In one week, you can realistically lose 1% of your body weight. Any other change on the scale will be water weight, which will come back when you eat normally again.

The foods you will be eating supposedly has negative calories and will "flush your system of impurities". Strict and arbitrary rules (ie day 2, no starchy vegetables, BUT potato with butter), it's been around for ages, under different names, among others the cabbage soup diet, the GM diet, the wonder soup diet. Sounds like someone had a lot of fun making this up. Just say no

This is something that old people figure out. Eating healthy is easier than any diet that restricts you, or puts definite starts and ends. Eat in a way that fuels you, that you can do until you die. Simply put. Don't go for gimmicks or quick 5 lbs. I guarantee you will be losing and gaining those 5 lbs over and over until you realize that you just have to mentally get you head together.
