    Also, because I believe this puts me WELL below 1200 a day, I have have raw milk 2x a day. And since I do not eat fish/tuna I eat chicken instead.And I only eat Nathans hot dogs or organic, but they fill the requirements.The only thing I have an issue with is black coffee because I refuse to use Splenda or Equal, etc...anymore =D

    i'm trying this starting next saturday!!!! I hope to lose 7 lbs or somethng before the 30th for my budiour photoshoot

    background: lost 50 lbs through hard work!

    Every winter gain 20 back because I can't exersise as much as I do in spring/summer (hike, bike, tennis, running, beach volleyball) But I never dont work out and watch what I eat ... it's just the way my metabolism is and I've dealt with it ... and it's been the same 5 years running now ...

    So that being said, I was WAS training hard for a half marathon from January to three weeks ago, took one kick boxing class and broke my big toe, which a) ended my run b) no cardio for 6 weeks c) I didn't give up! I still watch what I eat and work out 5 days a week lifting weights (though squats are hte only legs I can do cuz I can't bend my toe)

    Today is the first day being able to put on a shoe!

    This being said ... I've gained 4 lbs int he past 3 weeks - even with working out - and I have my first ever budiour photoshoot in 2 weeks ... which was another goal for training for my marathons....

    Well the scale keeps going up, the muffin top is growing - so Ive decided to try this 'diet' er quick fix for my budoir shoot ... wish me luck ... will be keeping a blog

    crappy thing is next week (when I start) I have a wedding Saturday and Sunday to attend

    While we're on the topic....has anyone heard of or tried the Dukan Diet? One of the many "fads" I've tried. However, nothing has worked or kept if off like MFP :wink:

    Me and some girls from work are doing the 7 day diet. I am starting tomorrow, they are waiting till Monday. I wanted to have my 7 days done before my birthday on March 2nd. I would like to eat Japanese and desert on that day. I am hoping to get a jump. I would like to loose more before we go to to Arkansas during spring break. Good Luck to me!!!

    As a nurse, I hate seeing these diets in use. The whole idea of cleansing is based on false assumptions. If you are eating right, including plenty of soluble and insoluble fiber, there is nothing to "cleanse" because you are evacuating wastes in an appropriate manner. These diets encourage a state of near starvation and for some people they cause dehydration, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, and of course, weight loss. Unfortunately, the weight that is lost is mostly water weight and bowel contents, both of which will come back once you begin eating normally again. The only reason most doctors give approval for them is because most people won't stick to them for more than a couple of days, so there aren't many risks.
    The soup itself is fine. If you want to use the soup as a low calorie filler between meals or at the end of the day, great. If you want to go on a few days of vegan eating along with, that's fine too, just DO eat the beans and nuts that are required to keep some protein in your system so your body doesn't start breaking down muscle tissue, and some whole grains for the B vitamins and to make complete proteins from some of the vegetable sources.
    Please, just eat right and exercise. Don't try risky fad diets or diet supplements.

    I agree 100 %! Please lose weight in a healthy manner! This diet is not healthy.

  • ~~THREE DAY DIET~~
    -What my DR calls the 3day cleansing, or metabolism boost!-

    Info I have found on this:


    Surprisingly surviving the test of time, the 3 Day Diet is another fad diet, dating back to 1985. Copies of the "3 Day Diet" continue to float around cyberspace, promising quick weight loss, cleansing, lower cholesterol, and increased energy. However, no diet book exists to substantiate the science behind the "unique metabolic reaction."

    Often mistakenly called The Cleveland Clinic Diet, the 3 Day Diet is a regimented plan that *must be followed exactly for three days at a time* followed by normal eating for four or five days before opting to resume the plan again.

    Followers of the 3 Day Diet are promised up to a 10 pound weight loss in three days, although realistically, most of that weight is likely due to fluid loss and not the more desirable fat loss. To achieve the proposed loss, exercise is not mentioned in the plan.
    What You Can Eat

    The 3 Day Diet is a very specific food plan that must be followed precisely. Portions must be eaten exactly as specified and dieters are warned not to overeat -- otherwise the promised 10 pound weight loss may not be achieved. Likewise, dieters should not under-eat, even if they are not hungry. The detailed plan does not mention or recommend any exercise.

    The 3 Day Diet meal plan:

    Day 1 Breakfast

    Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

    1/2 grapefruit or juice

    1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter

    Lunch

    1/2 cup tuna

    1 piece toast

    Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

    Dinner

    3 ounces any lean meat or chicken

    1 cup green beans

    1 cup carrots

    1 apple

    1 cup regular vanilla ice cream

    Day 2 Breakfast

    Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

    1 egg

    1/2 banana

    1 piece toast

    Lunch

    1 cup cottage cheese or tuna

    8 regular saltine crackers

    Dinner

    2 beef franks

    1 cup broccoli or cabbage

    1/2 cup carrots

    1/2 banana

    1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

    Day 3 Breakfast

    Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

    5 regular saltine crackers

    1 ounce cheddar cheese

    1 apple

    Lunch

    Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal

    1 boiled egg

    1 piece toast

    Dinner

    1 cup tuna

    1 cup carrots

    1 cup cauliflower

    1 cup melon

    1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream

    In addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink 4 cups of water or noncaloric drinks daily.

    How It Works

    By some unspecified magical force, the combination of the suggested foods included in this plan is supposed to create a unique metabolic reaction and boost fat burning.

    Without an author or book, there is no documentation or explanation of how the 3 Day Diet food combinations burn fat, increase energy, cleanse the body, or lower cholesterol.

    As the name suggests, the 3 Day Diet lasts only three days, though it's said that it can be repeated indefinitely, as long as you alternate with 4-5 days of undefined "normal eating." The purpose of returning to your usual eating style is to keep your metabolism from slowing, reverting to fat-storing, starvation mode.

    THIS INFO COMES FORM A FEW PLACES, MOSTLY

    http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-3-day-diet

    Enjoy, and use EXTREME caution. As I said before, I have multiple Doctors and most of them are ok with this, as long as I ONLY do it for 3 days every few months, or when I am changing a medication I do this, then juice days/liquid week/ followed by raw milk to flush my system and re-boot. Then just extremely change my lifestyle to make sure I stay at all the right levels of fat/protein/carbs/etc!

    Looks like it would starve me!!! probably how you loose weight so quick...lol
  • I started this cleanse on Monday- its now Wednesday.
    I hate the soup so I haven't eaten much of that.
    I did enjoy all the fresh fruit and veggies and I have to admit that I did cheat a bit. I have had a bowl of veggie soup every day at my campus cafeteria because I am a full time student and I pay $20.00 per meal every month and can't bring myself to let that money go to waste.

    I am surprised with how much energy I have and how much better I feel. I have been able to get out of bed in the morning and go for runs with my dog, or do at least a half hour of yoga every day which I haven't been able to do for months.

    I don't plan on losing any weight, but just some bloat and crappy feeling after a very unhealthy summer internship and lots of stress eating.

    Yes, you probably would. Here's more of what WebMD had to say about the 3 day diet:
    What the Experts Say

    Make no mistake: the 3 Day Diet is not associated with the prestigious Cleveland Clinic. "There is no such thing as a Cleveland Clinic diet," says Cindy Moore, former director of nutrition therapy at The Cleveland Clinic. "It is an urban legend that is not nutritionally sound, and the only reason it causes weight loss is because it is so low in calories, not because of any food combinations or metabolic reactions."


    Following a plan with fewer than 1,000 calories a day concerns Moore. "The plan yields about 1,000 calories a day which has the ability to lower metabolism so when you revert back to normal eating, you regain weight even quicker."

    Moore adds that the diet "sets up a vicious cycle of being hungry during the restrictive three days and most likely overeating on the off days."

    Bump for the soup recipe
  • Well, I am surprised this has taken 6 weeks to pop up but not surprised it's here at all.

    Ladies and Gents... I introduce to you the Poo Soup Diet. I used to do this a week a month and all I did was crap my heart out. It got to a point my body was so stripped I'd vomit anything that was outside the 'allowed' food for a few days after stopping the diet. Wanna know WHY I kept having to do it? I kept putting the weight back on despite sticking to it for nearly half the time.
    It was one of the main diets that have stuffed my metabolism.
    I used to gag at the smell of the soup and now the ingredient list... omg *vomit*

    I don't think ANYTHING is better than slow weightloss and continued healthy eating even if you plateau. Sure, use it for a few days to kick yourself over but never for a week and never for any other time OR something to rely on to make up for crappy habits.
    It's like meal replacements. NOT an option for more than 3 days.

    POO SOUP FOR EVERYONE!
  • Could I get a copy of the 3 day diet cleanse?? I need to get back the energy I've lost over time... and I know my body needs a serious cleanse!!

    bump for the soup. I'd rather use my juicer and do a juice fast for 7 days if I really want to "cleanse" or drop 10 lbs to fit into a dress or something!
  • This sounds like worth trying. Thanks for posting it.
