    Geeez all she was doing was sharing what was working for her and saying check it out if you want. It kind of makes people leery of posting what is working for them if they feel they have to explain everything about the diet, she said you could check it out. any way just my 2 cents

    Most of these fad diets are unsuccessful (and unhealthy) because they promote too much of a calorie deficit, which initially allows you to drop weight quickly. When you also consider that people starting a new diet typically start drinking more water, this accounts for another portion of the large initial weight loss, because when you drink more water your body holds less water. And when you account for the fact that many of the people that are looking for quick and easy solutions don’t exercise, they also lose muscle under such a calorie deficit, which accounts for more of the initial weight loss. This makes the diet appear to be successful at first glance, however, over time the weight loss tapers off, the dieter becomes discouraged and then quits. At this point all of the water weight that was lost comes back as the dieter resumes their previous bad behaviors, they are now in a calorie surplus and since they now have less lean body mass, they gain more fat back quicker. Time passes, they decide to diet again, and the cycle repeats.

    This is why diet and exercise MUST be a lifestyle change, not a temporary “quick and easy” solution to a lifetime of bad habits. It takes hard work and dedications; two things that are lost in modern day society.

    To the OP. good luck, I hope it works out for you.
