7lbs in 7 days .. ?

Thinking of doing the super juice "diet" on Monday..

I'm on top of my calories and exercise now but read some good (and bad) reviews.

Just wondering as I'll only be doing it for 7 days and won't be eating excessively after this as I don't anyway.

Cheers

Pretty pointless. Stay on top of your calories and exercise and avoid the "diet".

Seems pointless... I would feel miserable, hungry and weak if I just had liquids for a week. Then I'd most likely binge on junk food when it's all said and done.

You'd be losing mostly water weight anyway. A pound is approx. 3500 calories... to lose 7lbs you'd have to have a deficit of 24,500 calories! That cannot be done in a week, period. A month or two is normal.

Why not just continue eating healthy, not feel like crap, and lose weight at a healthy pace?

You don't have to justify yourself to her, Chris. She's being a ***** for no reason. Do what you like. She's lost 9lb and you've lost 3 stone... You clearly are doing well with what you've been doing. Don't let her patronize you.

You do realize that just because one person has been around longer or has lost more weight than someone else doesn't mean they know more about diet and exercise right?

Someone who has lost 9lb according to MFP may of lost 100lbs before joining. You don't know people so don't assume they know nothing because of a ticker on here.

Juicing for a week will cause the OP to lack vital nutrients. Consuming just juice for a week won't result in much, if any fat loss. People just see a loss on the scale and get all excited without thinking what that loss actually includes. Any weight loss while consuming nothing but juice will return when solid food is eaten again.

For those who like to juice, that's great. But don't rely on juices for your meals all day everyday for any period of time. Add a juice as a snack while still getting the nutrients your body and organs require. Juice alone will not do that.

You have mentioned a 7 Day plan - is this by Jason Vale by any chance? If so I did it a couple of years ago (I know, I know, it goes against everything I stand for but I, like the OP, thought it might give me a kick start). My experience:

1. The juices were a pain to prepare, made a mess of my kitchen and worked out really expensive due to the quantities (even buying at Aldi and Lidl)
2. Most of them tasted horrible - like old grass with a horrible grey tinge. The lemon, lime and pineapple in them also left me feeling really queasy
3. I get migraines and far from helping the headaches they triggered them (not due to 'toxins' leaving my system but due to the amount of sugar, lack of protein and lack of calories - my poor body didn't know what had hit it)
4. My stomach was really upset. Liquid going in, liquid coming out - ew!
5. The lack of protein and solid food left me starving, light-headed and craving bad food. On the last day I went home via the takeaway and bought fish and chips. I felt a whole lot better after eating again.

That week I struggled to concentrate at work and by the end of the week I found myself with a juicer I knew I would never use again that went to a charity shop.

To say I felt like an idiot is an understatement. To add insult to injury I only lost 1lb. I can lose this in a week by eating my TDEE-20% of whatever combination of food I want (yes, including wine and chocolate).

All the best with it if you do decide to do it but please be careful and don't get your hopes up.

Stop....no, don't do it.

Not to be a jerk...but, if you already know that you're going to do it & you know it'll work & you know you won't ever gain the weight back because you already eat healthy food and exercise, then why are you asking?
