Ok I'll play, what seems "legit" about it ? What is the mechanism that causes weight loss and what is the advise for keeping it off once you lose it ? Please share
So I'm on day 4 of The Rapid Pulse & I've lost 5lbs. The idea is that you eat foods that will shred your waist line in no time. Pulses is a unique class of protein riches carbs and after the 4 days of HEALTHY DELICIOUS pudding. You spend the next 26 days including one serving of the suoershredders into your daily meals. You burn more fat, feel more full, & have more energy. In the end, the idea of her technique is to teach how to finally organize your meals blah blah. Get the book, its great. The meal plans are delicious. I just asked the question bc I wanted to know if anyone has/is trying it out too.
Lol. Have fun gaining all the weight back and coming back here in a month or 2 asking about another fad diet. #SupperShredders!
You're negative and annoying. People come here to seek POSITIVE feedback. Not that. I won't be gaining any weight back. And quite frankly, if I bother you so much, you should stop reading my threads. I didn't ask people who know nothing to reply.0 -

People should come here seeking HONEST feedback .. something you haven't sought in any of your threads asking about fad diets.0 -
A LOT of diet books; too many frankly. Most follow a fairly standard organization, with very very few exceptions, most will tell you that ‘calorie restricted diets don’t work for weight loss’ and that whatever magic they are selling is the key to quick, easy (and of course permanent) weight loss.
Whether it’s insulin, dietary fat, the protein:carbohydrate or insulin:glucagon ratio, partitioning or whatever other BS, they will make it sound like caloric intake is not the key aspect in whether or not someone gains weight.
In almost all cases, the idea that food intake must be restricted in any fashion is dismissed; if it is mentioned it is generally as a short aside late in the book that nobody pays any attention to.
This is purely a psychological ploy; it sucks to have to consciously restrict food intake and this causes mental stress. Simply knowing that you can’t eat what you want when you want it blows; I hate it as much as the next person. Many people will feel hungrier simply because they know that they can’t eat what they want when they want it.
Yet the fundamental fact is that the body will NOT have any need to tap into stored body fat unless the individual is burning more calories than they are taking in(CICO) Of course this means that either energy expenditure has to go up, caloric intake has to go down, or both have to occur.
So how can these books make this claim? It’s simple: they all hide basic caloric restriction in whatever they happen to be proposing. Basically, this is Lyle’s Rule #1 of Diet books:
All diet books tell you that you won’t have to restrict calories, and then trick you into doing it anyway.
ETA: Same with diet fads such as shakeology, IF, Atkins, Rapid pulse etc
You will find the most successful members on this site follow a very simple method: CICO (calories in vs calories out). Of course they also pay attention to their macro and micro nutrient needs but nutrition is a whole other story. A calorie deficit is key for weight loss alone.

These forums are for people who have or want to lose weight through calorie deficits. If you want to talk or get advice about all these fad diets, this is NOT the right forum to be....0 -

Well I believe a lot of the people that are trying to steer you away from fad dieting know a lot about nutrition, my above reply will attest to the factual nature of fads and quick fixes.
Also humor is often used on the forums as laughter is good for the soul and well it would be pretty bland on the forums if humor was not allowed.
Concerning your definition of "POSITIVE" feedback I feel compelled to leave this link here for you to peruse at your own pleasure...

I'm pretty sure we all followed fads, tried the new best thing, went with the old standard programmes and yo-yo diet and put on weight every time
This is the first time in my life I've made it this long and thought I can keep going
The first time I've been succesful
And I did it by cutting out this kind of crap
I think people just want you to let go of your quick-fix ideals and buying into fads because we recognise our previous selves
But you'll get there when you get there. Just don't forget to live and enjoy your life whist you're trying, cos that *kitten* don't stop and wait for you to be a certain size, it just keeps on rolling along0 -

What's the recipe for the pudding like? I don't want to follow the diet, but I am always trying to work more legumes in.0

Look OP if you're serious about losing weight and getting into shape I will try to play nice and give you links to tried and true methods for not only reaching your goals but also to maintain them.
I will endeavor to be encouraging as you seem to respond to positive reinforcement as you perceive it.
Firstly this link is basically a whole package on how to reach said goals...

This link is concerns primarily calorie and macro goals and figuring out your TDEE (it is found within the above link)...

Now if you actually take the time to read and digest the information that I have provided you with you will no doubt see the futility of fad diets and quick fixes.
I speak from personal experience, for when I first signed up here I was ignorant and impatient but thankfully people not unlike those that have responded to your thread pointed me in the right direction. This is my third account on here but I went from being overweight, unhealthy and despondent to fit and in control of my life, eating habits and lastly much wiser from heeding the advice of others.
ETA: Currently not accepting FR, sorry OP.

There's 3 puddings. One is a ginger fig, does a dark chocolate and that last one is mango. They all have chea seeds, coconut milk and you can turn them into smoothies if you don't like the texture. If you message me. I can send you the recipe0 -

First off, congrats on your weight loss. Keep it up until your reach your goal and keep us posted along the way.
So here is where the marketing hype and the plain old truth of it all comes into play.
Protein rich carbs. There are no, as in zero foods that contain any combination of protein, fats or carbs that somehow aid in fat loss.
Super shredders, is this authors marketing gimmick name for the foods she is recommending. Calling them super shredders does not make them do any shredding. You shred fat or lose fat by not eating food, not by eating special foods.
Burn more fat, have more energy. The only way to burn more fat is to use more fat by moving more, a foods energy is measured by calorie. No food is capable of giving you more calories then the calories it contains. It simple physics.
Teaching how to organize, yes this would be very helpful for most people, luckily MFP teaches exactly that but without the marketing gimmicks of supper shredders or needing to buy their puddings. It teaches us how to do it with every single food item available on this planet. Which is a pretty valuable skill to have.

Here's the info on her diet. Do i think it's harmful? No.
So to that i say, if it makes it easier for you to portion control or build your meals go for it. But don't get so obsessed with the "rules" of the diet. Ultimately it's the calorie deficit that is important.0 -

If you have to use such inane marketing for your diet it says a lot about what you think of your target audience.0

All I know is that having to think of those dumb wardrobe guidelines every meal would drive me insane. And it's so patronizing. Like I am a woman and finally someone has come up with a diet my dumb little clothing-obsessed brain can understand.
To top it off, it is completely worthless. Eating a serving of lentils and a serving of beets in the same meal isn't going to do anything bad to you! If you add carrots to your black bean soup, more power to you!
But really, this diet had me convinced at "bean puddings." That is all I needed to get to "nope."

Why are you wasting time and money on fad diets when you could just eat less and exercise more? No one else has tried this diet because it doesn't work.0 -

How does it feel to be a smug prick ? For all you know her family was killed by a drunk driver and she is eating her pudding all alone.
And what if the driver was the Easter Bunny?
Couldn't be! No opposable thumbs for the steering wheel.
Proof...

I love beans. Love them. I'm a vegetarian. I eat them all the time. But yeah... in a pudding? Nope.
The whole pudding thing reminds me of having to hide veggies for a kid who's a picky eater.
The foods shown on the various items of apparel were all fine and nice choices and all that, but the whole thing is, as you said, just so completely ridiculous. I don't think it encourages anything in the way of a healthy attitude towards those nice foods.
