    LOL you all are great and full of Info....I was just basically trying to see if it was a good idea to try it and just test it out to see if I could get any results... I been at a plateau for about 5-7 weeks at 215-220 and basically I am testing this to see if it can clean up my eating a little bit better! I'm not looking for dramatic weight loss from this ...maybe just 5-7 pounds and a cleaner stomach lol

    Following a diet named after a bankrupt auto manufacturer that was bailed out by the American people is never a good idea.

    Simple math lesson. My TDEE is 2700 calories per day. That's 18900 calories a week. In order to lose 10 pounds in a week I'd need a deficit of roughly 35000 calories. Even if I ate nothing at all for an entire week, I'd still only barely make it halfway to that deficit. Does that sound realistic or believable?

    It sounds like The Cabbage soup Diet. My aunt lost a lot of weight on that a few years ago but gained the weight back quickly when she stopped it. The weight loss did not last. hopefully with good eating it will stay off for you.

    Simple fact is this: if you set up an energy deficit - in other words if you burn off more calories than you eat - you will lose weight.

    That's it. That's the basis behind any diet plan in the whole world - zone, south beach, atkins, paleo, mediterranean, martian - you name it. It doesn't matter what little whiffs of other nutrition these diets provide, the only way you lose weight on them is by creating an energy deficit.

    This should be on the MFP homepage.

    You lost water. Not fat. It will bounce back.
