    From what I've been told 1000 times is that "fad diets" do not work in the long term! Might be ideal for losing quick pounds but it will come back at you and why would you want that? Slow and steady wins the race!
  • You will gain it all back. Believeeeee me!

    I did a 8 day green smoothie feast drinking only green smoothies. once i stopped within 3 days I had gained all my weight back and I was eating normal portions.

    Done it. It works. The weight comes back after a month or so, I was even eating healthy and working out after. It doesn't matter. It comes back. :(

    I tried it once, years ago, but never again! I was puking by the fourth day, Cabbage soup can get a bit boring!.

    The way I see this diet as well as other fad diets is this: it's a short-term "quick fix" diet to lose weight quickly. It is not a solution to a healthy, long term eating plan, which is encouraged on MFP, not on the silly diet you are embarking on.
    A balanced, healthy diet combined with exercise is still the most effective and safe long-term way to lose weight.
    If you insist on following this diet Never follow the diet for more than seven days.
