The sacred heart diet

I've done it a few times... I wouldn't recommend it though and wouldn't do it again!

I felt dizzy and sick and you get bad wind lol. I even had aching hips :O

You do lose the weight but it comes back on really quickly unfortunately. Its much better to just stick to the way MFP works even if it is slower because you wont get the weight back this way.

The diet was designed for obese people to drop pounds fast for heart surgery but its only meant to be done for a very short time. If you do decide to do it then make sure you see your docter first because its so low cal and you can get into real trouble on it.

The diet also bears a striking resemblance to the cabbage soup diet.

The Sacred Heart diet is a soup-based diet, and claims that you will lose 10-17 pounds in the first week.

This may be true, but most of the weight will tend to be water – and will be gained right back very soon after the diet.

This diet is very clearly an unsustainable fad diet, but is not as nutritionally unsound as similar diets. Most of these diets claim some magical fat-burning science is involved, or that there is something special about the combination of foods. This is simply untrue – it is nothing more complex than a reduction in calories!

This diet is not recommended
The Sacred Heart Hospital in Montreal Canada (Hôpital Sacre Coeur) issued a press release in 2004 stating that “no nutritionist at the Hospital took part in the development of this diet”.
The American Heart Association have claimed that the diet is phony (ref).
The Sacred Heart Medical Center also disclaim any association with the diet (ref).
