400 calorie quick fix ~ 2 week quick slim?

lilmisslanna

Has anyone tried this 2 week quick slim? The book shows 5 successful people who lost in the range of up to 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Just wondering if it's just the book that shows these kind of results or if there are people who have actually tried it.

Im going to start tomorrow and see how far I get : ) ... just curious though.

Thanks

Aware me. And please don't say it's a 400cal/day intake over 2 weeks?

It's 4 - 400 calorie meals a day. It looks pretty good actually. I might try it too.

I still don't quite understand why people get into these "diets" if you are in it for the long haul then healthy eating and exercise is the way to go as it should be a lifestyle change. Time and time again these diets have shown to be a temporary fix and sometimes puts you at risk. Not only that but once you start eating normal again you gain back what you lost. Just my opinion.

No it's 400 calories per meal - 3 meals a day for the first 2 weeks. After that based on your weight and how much you would like lose you eat anywhere from 1200-2000 calories. They sell the book on Amazon.com

I actually have the book .. and it's all about calorie intake and portion control..it actually seems pretty healthy, and the 2 week quick slim, is just to get an inital boost of weight loss. It also states you should exercise 3 times a week... pretty sure this isnt a "quick fix"

Well it sounds good, I guess I just hate these products these days that claim you can lose X amount in X number of days those are the ones that get my back up and I know they target the vulnerable. Your book sounds pretty much what we do here on MFP with a bit of a bonus. Does it have meal suggestions?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the EXACT same thing MFP suggests, without the restrictions on which foods to get your calories from?

400 calories/3 meals a day = 1200 calories....

Good luck.

Yes!!! Very similar .. and I think that is what caught my eye about the book. The bonus with the books, is that it actually gives you recipes.. combos and such that all equal 400 calories... including meal plans. So for me personally that was worth buying the book!
And a BIG THANKS for the good luck ; )

When you have a moment, I'd love to see some of the meal plans? I have no problem finding recipes to cook, but do at times feel stumped on how to get the most bang for my (caloric) buck on creating entire meals..

Sure.. I will post some later on tonight : ) Oh..and this doesnt restrict from any foods, infact there is a section of the books, that gives you ideas of what to eat when you go out to like panda express, subway, taco bell , qdoba, meals for all around 400 calories. : )
