Basically you eat fruit one day, veggies the next, then fruit and veg, then bananas and yogurt, then turkey/chicken and tomato, then turkey/chicken and vegetable, and finish with a veggie cabbage soup...
I started today with the fruits, I'm eating a lot of melons...
Just wanted to share and see what the results are at the end of the week =]
No negative feedback please, this is not a starvation diet

It's not a starvation diet but it's not smart and not sustainable. My brother keeps pushing it on me at work and I just keep telling him it's really dumb.
He does it and he swears to god it works, but then on the unspoken eight day he goes and ruins anything it might have done. Just eat a normal, balanced diet and you'll do much better.0 -

This. Can you really eat this for the rest of your life? Is it sustainable in real life? Probably not. Just eat healthy food in smaller portions.0 -
Yup. The key to losing weight is making sustainable changes to your lifestyle. I am dieting, but you know what? I still go out to eat with friends. Yesterday we went to Bob Evans and, because I've become more aware of how I eat and how I should eat, I made a good choice without any help from a calorie counter. I stayed under my calorie goal AND had sausage links and a crepe. MMMM. Now that is sustainable and good.0

No reason you shouldn't try this -- one week won't destroy you. I'm interested in your results!
But I'm sure you know that the above posters are right -- this isn't a sustainable way to be healthy. I read through the whole thing and the line that really got me was, "Yes, you can still feel hungry, that's what dieting is sadly!"
I don't agree with this at all! I don't think dieting = hunger, and it doesn't seem super-healthy to think of it that way.0 -
back in the early 80s this was called " the beverly hills diet" it went out of fashion because people were getting sick on it. not to mention that the weight just comes back on as soon as you go back to eating regular foods.0

I think this sounds interesting and curious to see the results. Obviously not sustainable but it's not meant to be it's a 7 day diet.
This sounds great to lose weight quick to jump start weight loss or to look good for an event. I do think several of the pounds will come right back when you eat normal but again perfect to lose weight quick.0 -
My brother calls it the [Some Hospital Name] diet.0

Yea its call a 7 day diet, not i'm going to do this my whole life diet. I realize it's not sustainable, clearly so do the people that created it because once again "7 day" haha
I just think it's fun to try new ways of eating, and after day 1 surprisingly I'm not hungry at all
The first people did live off of fruits and veggies and things found from nature, and clearly they've made it over 2,000 years, maybe it'll be good for some people to learn how to live off of the land and what is natural instead of relying on processed foods.
I mean after all, I'm not on here for a temporary diet, I'm here for the lifestyle change =]0 -
Another version of the famous cabbage diet. It does work but keep in mind you will gain back 1/3 of the weight loss from water weight and have more food in your stomach.
Day 2,3 will make you very tired and also may lose some short term memory because it's very low cal. The short term memory will come back on day 5. If you can make it through day 3, the rest of week is easy.
Also make sure you are near the bathroom since you will have lots of flush.
If you can't handle the soup by the end of the week, blend and drink it.
Check out fruit popsicle on fruit day.0 -

If you are talking about our ancient ancestors, they weren't humans. They weren't homo sapiens. The brain did not begin to evolve into the way it is now until we started eating meat, likely scavanged. Literally, meat was what gave us the ability to develop highly sophisticated brains. Meat is very important to the modern human diet. And yes, the ones before us survived a hundred thousand years but they would have had different anatomies than we have. Maybe it would have been just subtly different, but it would have been different.
Yes, our ancient ancestors ate fruits and veg, but a lot of primates also eat insects. Modern humans have all the traits of an omnivore. We have large livers for processing meats and medium intestines for taking nutrients from plants, maybe not very fibrous plants, but plants all the same. We have forward facing eyes, but our ears are on the sides of our heads.
No modern human survives on just fruits and veg. They include nuts and eggs typically. For protein and fat.
And 2000 years is an absurdly low number. People 2000 years ago wouldn't have been different from us physically. They had the same dietary requirements we do.
How the hell does this diet teach anyone to live off the land? What are you even talking about?0 -
my co-worker is doing this right now, actually. he lost 5 lbs the first day, but he fully expects some of the weight to come back. He's just using it as a jump start to get back into his healthy eating routine, as he's been eating crap for the past few months.0

i hate diets like this because i agree with the comments in this thread around sustainability.
if you are going to all this effort to lose weight, take the effort to adjust your lifestyle so that you can sustain it long-term.0 -
Weight loss does not require a jump start. This is yet another shortcut.0

My coworker did this diet. She lost 14 lbs in a week. It was insane. But, of course, it didn't teach her how to eat properly so she put the weight right back on.0

I did this back in 2002 and lost 7 kgs.... and was able to maintain it for a year. Again I did it and lost 5 kg in 2003 and again almost maintained for 2 years (but then i got pregnant and gained weight) But later in 2010, with a healthy diet and exercise, I lost 25 kgs... maintaining that...0

This isn't realistic. Once this diet is done, then what are you going to do? If you want a make a temporary change, then stick to this. If you want to lose the weight and keep it off; be healthy and fit, then you have to do it the hard way: Proper eating and exercise. Portion Control, moderation, substitution and a good exercise regime.
These "Quick" diets are only short-term, and once you finish this diet, you will most likely gain the weight right back.
Slow and steady wins the race. These quick fixes are never long-term. And can do more damage to your body than good.
Good luck!0 -
I don't see how this teaches you to eat properly for a sustainable amount of time (beyond the 7-day "diet).
But to each their own.
I understand the desire to "jump start" though. I have been off-track for about the past 3 months due to illness, stress, etc., and am "jump starting" my smarter eating habits again by getting most of the junk food out of the house (the stuff I struggle with portion control on) and getting back to how I ate for the past year--grilling some chicken breasts, cooking some brown rice and veggies, and prepping portion sizes for lunches every day. Planning for my meals instead of grabbing junk. I'm also eating a variety of fruits and Greek yogurts and the occasional piece of Halloween candy...but working on staying with my daily calorie allowance and getting back into my workout routines. It may take me months to lose the 10 lbs I gained while eating too much junk, but I'd rather lose slowly and re-learn my healthier habits.
To me, that's a sustainable "diet" or eating plan--not 7 days of cabbage soup, no offense, but blech I like cabbage...but not that much0 -

Good point. I called my return to smarter eating habits a "jump start" but it's not really...it's just a return to better habits that I know I can sustain long term.
I'm often tempted by "quickie" diets but never try them, they never seem sustainable and the thought of restricting whole food groups never works for me...0 -
I've seen this diet before I think its called the Herp Derp diet0
-
Just don't0
-
I love pinterest but the info on there is not always reliable. I hope you did some research before you started0

You have to be careful you don't overdo the herp or the derp or your derppity might slide right out of your herpitty.0 -
Why not eat a healthy balanced meal every day?0

Very balanced. I'm sure your body will be happy after this diet and you'll be feeling wonderfull.0

I don't know about anyone else but I haven't seen any of these "first people" walking around from 2000 years ago surviving on fruits and veggies. If you really want a lifestyle change, then eat a healthy balanced diet with the appropriate amount of calories. It's a slow process, weight loss, but if you do it the right way it's worth it.0
