I've been reading up online about people trying out a noodle diet. the dried food packets instant noodle types.

has anyone ever tried this would be interested to find out about the results.

from what iv read you should only do this 2 weeks at a time because there is a high carb intake in them

eat them 2 times a day along with eating a normal dinner not a massive portion.

iv also heard of a tomato soup diet anyone tried this also?

    Here's a concept:wink: Eating healthy identifiable food and working out, that's working wonders for zillions of ppl on MFP thus far. If I eat noodles it's whole wheat pasta tossed with a tad of EVOO and some fresh veggies.

    Magic/Miracle noodles? What the magic? Except someone making $$$ on ppl buying them on the web. There is no MAGIC in losing weight and keeping it off in a healthy way. It's simply hard work, healthy choices and regular excercise:drinker: :wink:

    It really DOES work!

    Sounds boring, if you want my honest opinion. I wouldn't waste my time on it, and I recommend you don't either because you don't lose weight and keep it off by implementing these short term "fad diets". They might get you to the weight you want to be quickly, but it does nothing to instill healthy eating for the long term so you'll just end up yo-yo dieting. I didn't lose weight using "fad diets" like the noodle diet. Instead I ate what I wanted by controlling my portion size as well as using better quality ingredients (lean meats, more veggies and fruits, organic and less processed). That way I could make sure I could maintain my way of eating as well as my weight long after I reached my weight loss goal. Hope this helps!

    Why not noodles? There's every other type of diet out there. It's kind of funny how over the years so many diets come and go, but the one that remains constant and unchanged is the plan in use here, take in less calories by eating wholesome, nutritional foods, and exercise in any way that you can.

    I haven't always eaten right, that's why I'm here. So, no offense given to anyone who tries these fads, but the truth is, it's not just about being fat, it's about being healthy. Good, nutritional foods are as essential to good physical health as good, honest, and understandable doctrines are essential for good spiritual health. Now, add in some exercise for both the physical and the spiritual and you got it. Body, mind, and spirit.

    What everyone else said. This website is filled with people who have seen the light, that nothing will work long term except good old fashion eating right and exercise. Limiting yourself to just noodles for two weeks (or for one meal, whatever the rules are) is not going to do anything except make you hate noodles after so long.

    I see it every couple weeks, someone posts about a new fad diet, and gets the same responses every time, don't do it. You'll get much better results, and be a much happier person (I'd be grouchy just eating noodles :laugh: ), if you just stick to the tried and true plan that many of us here have.
