    This is beyond absurd.
    It's best to keep it simple: eat less - move more.
    Eat lean meats, low fat dairy, nuts, whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies.
    Track what you eat and balance your meals as per MFP recommendations.
    Simple...:bigsmile:

    I did this diet probably about 15 years ago, but i think it was the walking for 25 min a day that caused me to lose weight. My current diet started with a 10 day very strict diet which required egg white shakes for breakfast and lunch and a more "normal" low fat dinner. Actually it worked and I lost 10 lbs in 10 days - mostly water I am sure. But it was okay. Lots of athletes drink egg white shakes for protein and I did not feel hunger pains. I always keep boiled eggs on hand for those few days I did experience hunger pains. EGG whites only to fill my stomach until dinner when I could indulge in what I consider real food. Everyone has been commenting on my weight loss and I can only hope it will be permanent. I cut my sugars and limit my fats to no more than 30 a day if I can. Of course i take all my vitamins because I DO NOT want to lose my hair or anything... G

    Eat Breakfast like a King
    Lunch like a Prince
    Dinner like a Pauper

    except it's wrong. Total macronutrient intake is FAR more important than when it is consumed.

    Off topic though.

    I would personally stay away from this. While there is nothing wrong with rewards like ice cream etc. Even on and off with this diet isn't healthy. I think too many people put too much emphasis on weight loss and not enough on good solid nutrition. Anything you eat is considered a "diet." There just isn't enough balance there for sustainability. I have no doubt changing what you eat drastically can cause weight loss, the question is can you keep it off with said diet?

    Reminds me of when I was a kid and both of my parents would try out these wacky particular-food only diets. I remember, for instance, the week they were mostly eating only rice, tomatoes, and prunes.

    Even as a kid, I recognized a diet that was a bit woo-woo. Although if they had been on an ice-cream and cracker diet, I would have TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD! ;)

    All I can think of is the kickstarter day. Horrible bowl of soup after horrible bowl of soup and oooh! today you get a banana and a steak. I'm pretty sure I celebrated the end of that one with Hungry Jacks. Mmm, whopper with cheese.

    I'm curious to know how this would help?

    i think it is just trying to get people into a habit of eating somewhat healthy...maybe?
