Ok, second try since some people seem to think this was an ad and the previous thread disappeared in cyberspace. There were no previous threads about it I just watched it this morning on ABC news and want to ask for knowledgeable people's opinion about it, not just cute comments. Do not tell me oh just another fad diet, without reading about it.

The diet appears to be based on results from a combination of clinical trials and the physicians recommending it are the obesity research directors in the academic hospitals affiliated with Harvard, Boston University and Cornell-Weil medical schools.

These are the links from 2 articles written about it in the Daily Mail newspaper

    You got a lot of decent advice about it in your previous thread. No reason to post again. By the sounds of it you want to do it regardless of who comments on it.

    Just because a diet is endorsed or recommended by doctors doesn't mean it's good or healthy.

    This diet is nothing special as pointed out in your previous thread. Do it if you want to... but don't expect everyone to be on board.

    When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Drinking your calories a day a week will not make you burn more fat.

    This is ultimately a fad diet. Whether you will see it or not. It's the same as Dukan, South Beach, Slimfast, Shakeology, Body By Vi, Herbalife, Nutrisystem, etc. Any diet that claims you have to eliminate or reduce certain foods or types of food for weight loss is a fad diet. You have no need to cut out any food unless you have a medical reason to do so.

    This will not result in long term weight loss.

    It's a fad diet and can you please post the links to the clinical trials? Unless of course they were never published and you're taking the word from someone with a financial interest int he matter

    The previous thread disappeared because someone thought it was an ad! I posted to get people's opinion since there are threads for almost every single diet in the forum. I think it is interesting because the Md's recommending it are directors of the obesity programs in the top medical schools and do the clinical research in their hospitals. It is more like the intermittent diet since the one day a week that it recommends fasting, it suggests smoothies to get the macros, and then it is more of a low carb/high protein diet. I am sure that others will come and search for the diet at some point so it would be good to have people's opinion about it.

    You've gotten opinions about it.

    Just because doctors recommend it or are part of obesity stuides doesn't mean it's a good idea. Doctor endorse all sorts of crazy and harmful things.

    It is a fad diet.

    It sounds perfectly healthy to me. I can't think of anything that would inherently make a high protein diet that includes strength training and one day of smoothies only unhealthy. There are many diets based on high protein and meal timing that are healthy.

    I thought the articles were interesting.

    it sounds interesting. I wouldn't give the knee jerk reaction to call it a fad diet even tho that is how it is packaged. in a way it is just liquid fasting one day a week. fasting is not a new concept and is not unhealthy. many religions and cultures will incorporate fasting into their lives for other reasons. mental clarity, spiritual enlightenment. it is not asking you to cut food out for long periods of time. I say give it a try. add some yoga. you might be happy with the results and not all of them will be measured on the scale

    What makes it a "fad diet"? And if it is a fad, does that mean it's unhealthy?

    The book is not out yet so I have not read the details but appears to be based on the principles of-amount of lean muscle in your body is also one of the key influences on your metabolic rate; maintain muscle when you diet; HGH levels, high protein; low carb; get macronutrients and do not starve on fast day. I really do not understand this immediate jump to attack by people here. Some people like food ideas for their meal plan.

    Oh no!. The author has solid credentials and I think that she is in the NASA panel that recommends the astronauts' diet for long term missions and being a PI in the CORE are a plus.
    http://www.cardiometabolichealth.org/2009/bios/ApovianCaroline.aspor

    But of course where everybody will focus is that she is a medical advisor in the Dr. Oz show. That will immediately make her a nobody. Because all of us, the anonymous forum posters are more knowledgeable on everything about diet, weight loss, nutrition, etc.

    I am generally against any diet that uses the word "jump start" or requires "satisfying smoothies." I have seen enough people around me try and fail with these diets. I would not recommend this.

    Wow! Okay, that sensationalism would qualify as "fad diet" in my book. But that does not mean it's unhealthy or won't work. Other diets that work make similar claims. In fact, just about every diet that has a name or specific rules makes similar claims.

    This is what made me classify it as a fad diet as well.

    Losing a bunch of weight due to smoothies and then having to "slowly introduce regular food" back into your diet is complete nonsense.

    Eat at a deficit. It's harder and slower. It takes will power.

    But once you learn how to do it you're set for life.

    Fad diets all work and not are all unhealthy, every diet just finds a new and "exciting" way to create a deficit

    If it's promising a quick fix or a jump start or boost anything, it's a fad diet.

    "Claims you can lose 9lb EVERY WEEK by having one 'non-food' day"

    I am sure The National Enquier would love this bunch of BS.

    Yeah, that was pretty much my point. Except I don't see why it's a bad thing. If that exciting new way works for someone, I say have at it.
