3 day apple diet!!!

brainzap

I had an ED and did all these low calorie BS diets for months....all that happens is you feel miserable (but a tiny bit happy about your 'weight loss', which is mostly water), then would end them with huge binges. You can't control your hormones, if you starve you WILL binge. FFS. And after the diet you will have less muscle & more fat than before.

Apples are really just vehicles for peanut butter.

My sister did this on advice of a holistic naturopath. And yes, it's all apples all the time. Any kind of raw apple.

Here's the thing, she did it on professional advice. I don't necessarily buy into the naturopath stuff but each to their own. AND, it's not apples for everyone apparently. Some people are supposed to eat, say, strawberries for 3 days. I guess there's a reason for it, I'm not sure what it is.

It did help her lose weight, because, well, when all you can eat is an apple, you find you're not as hungry as you think. But she gained it all back, obviously. Which was fine, because she wasn't eating apples to lose weight, it was for a different issue.

It also helped the original issue she went in for.

You and I have very different definitions of the words "good" and "healthy".

I could also take dietary advice from a professional auto mechanic, it doesn't make it good advice.

Eating apples all the time surely will get boring, no?

There are no studies to prove or disprove that this profession works or does not work. While i don't discount the usefulness of traditional medicine, I also have a shelf full of holistic remedies and they work.


ps.. the diet itself is comprised of healthy foods, some of which sound good.. but does look to be a vlcd (which is it's purpose i think) which is not necessarily a good idea for most people.

If you look at the food plans, it's actually very balanced (minus the artificial sweeteners and lowfat stuff).

Just because I'm curious and funny that way, I entered this diet into MFP's recipe builder. Using the brands that I like, for all 3 days, the calories are 2,508.

Carbs are 445 g

Fat is 62 g

Protein is 163 g

Calcium is 237 g

Fiber is 160 g

If divided by 3 days, that's around 898.33 calories per day. Of course you're going to lose weight.

I've heard that apples have a lot of excess sugar in them. You might want to be careful! You might not be able to spot reduce as good when eating so much extra sugar!!!

I changed some items and forgot to edit the information here. The new calorie count is only about 836 a day. My bad!

How often do you do the 3 day cycle?

You might lose more if you ate nothing but lettuce and celery and stopped drinking any water, while running a marathon. And had an enema. But why even consider such things? The question really isn't worth an answer.
