Has anyone ever tried the Overnight Diet?

I diet overnight every night.

Do you honestly trust this woman's advice?

*whispers*

What happens...in the night?

I have the book. I'm reading the book. It seems logical to me, but I wanted to get anyone's opinion who has actually successfully done this diet and kept weight off. Reading testimonials in the book seem so contrived I'd rather hear from real live people.
The story goes like this: 2 lbs on the first day (up to 2 lbs that is) and they advise it's mostly water weight, then up to an additional 9 lbs after the first week (so if you're super obese, 11 lbs in the first week). What I <i>haven't</i> found yet is this: What happens after the first week? There is no way the human body can support that kind of loss every week. I've heard of intermittent fasting, like 2 days a week of 500 calories composed of healthy items such as vegetables and low fat soups etc. then 5 days of just regular healthy eating. This seems similar to that, but they don't say what the weight loss should be after the first week :S

I know people are calling this a fad diet, it's basically 6 days of high protein then 1 day of smoothies only (protein powder added to fruit/veg/almond milk and blended). They'll say "where's the study?" There's a bunch of medical journal references at the back of the book and I'd be happy to post them.

Anywho, I digress. Has anyone done the overnight diet for longer than a week? If so, what have been your results?

You do realize that it says "UP TO two pounds", right? As in, probably nothing but weight does fluctuate on a day to day basis so there's a pretty good chance that if you hydrate adequately, you'll see the scale reflect it. Besides that, if you're weighing at night then yeah, you're going to see a lower number in the morning.

And obviously you knew that people would call it a fad diet and ask for the studies. That's because there's no evidence this diet works ... thus the fad diet.

The BEST DIET is the one that you don't do...

The BEST RESULT come from not depriving yourself from anything and using moderation and self control on everything... There is no magic diet, there is no magic pill and there are many of those that end up being unhealthy - hit your macros eat in accordance to what your body needs to function and get yourself moving... That is what it takes

Good luck to you...

This is very interesting. Haha. But I'm sticking with mine.

I prefer the 'eat less move more' diet

You can only lose weight with a calorie deficit.

If it works its because its advocating a calorie deficit.

There are no other ways.

I diet overnight every night.

me too! funny:laugh: Honestly, I've never heard of it.

This would not be such a bad diet, take a pill and get a cute little adipose fat baby (at least until mom and dad come looking for it) Love that episode.

I am just now seeing this post, due to the fact that I was looking at some of the reviews online about the Overnight Diet. The reason I was doing so, is because I have been doing this diet, or as I call it my new way of eating right, for the past 4 weeks and I wanted to see other success stories like mine.

To give you some backgroup, I found myfitnesspal.com about two years ago. I was following a 1200 calorie diet, and yes I did lose a lot of weight (145 lbs. down to 132 lbs.). I have not been considered overweight in many years, but I have kept a vigorous workout schedule for 20+ years, and have always tried to eat healthy for the most part. I am now 42 years old and as of June 2013, I had now gone up to 151 lbs and 25% body fat. I started the 1200 calorie thing again a few months ago, and my weight did not budge.

Since starting the Overnight Diet 4 weeks ago, I have lost 10.5 lbs. That is quite a bit of weight when you only have 10-15 lbs. to lose, so if you have more weight to lose it always comes off quicker with bigger numbers. However, weight is never the whole picture, and that is the problem with that measurement. The amount of fat you have in your body is the real test. I look better than I ever have in my life, and I am still getting leaner. I weigh 140 lbs, and my fat is 18% (better than most 20 year olds). I look much better than I did at 132 lbs. last year, because I had more fat on my body and less muscle. I have not changed my workouts one bit, but I am following the food plan. I am never hungry, and I continue widdle the inches away (3 inches off my waist). I can envision eating this way for the rest of my life, and still being able to indulge when the occasion calls for it.

If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS.

I am going to begin this on Sunday. Not so different from Adkins, South Beach, etc. I don't mind smoothies, but I'm happy it's only 1 day a week! The other days' meals sound so simple and practical. Good proteins, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables, even bread! If you could answer one question for me . . . what about eggs? I don't plan on buying the book - read about it in a magazine, but it didn't mention eggs. I assume a serving a day would be allowed. I lost 14 lbs in 3 months following Adkins, but the 1st 2 weeks were rough! Got tired of counting carbs, too. Weight stayed off for about 2 years then slowly came back, though I'm still not as heavy as when I started it. My son is on a harsh hospital-directed diet - lots of products to purchase and very little variety of 'regular' foods. It's working, but I don't think he can stay on that the rest of his life. I think this may be what I've been looking for all along, and maybe for him, too.

Oh good lord...Alli. I tried those and my friend would ask me if I'm still taking my "squirty diet pills" !!! Hahahaha!

ANY product that recommends that I wear dark brown or black pants while I'm using it, or has "anal leakage" as a side effect gets a "No thanks, I'll pass." from me. No matter what the promised benefit! Just sayin'...
