    NOOOOO!!!

    The only diet you should ever follow is a balanced and healthy diet with exercise, burning more calories than you consume!!

    ^ This!

    ^^^^^^^ THIS! It can't be said enough. NO 'fad diet' is going to help permanently, only a lifestyle change will ...

    There's no way she could have gained 10 pounds of TRUE fat in one week, no matter how much she ate.

    What really happened was she consumed too much sodium, and now her body is coming back to normal, releasing the water. That's the 5 lb loss.

    ^^THIS!!

    nope because once you stop the diet you will gain 3 times as much weight back.

    That amount of loss in such a short time can't be good for you.
    Also, I don't care for anything that tells me what to eat. I decide that for myself :)

    I don't like any diets that cut out any "healthy" food...fruits,veggies,ect..

    Have you looked at the ingredients of the soup?

    In my mind this is basically a "cleanse" you are still getting lots of veges - but losing out on most of your macro nutrients..... If you consider this type of thing I would not do it for more than 5-7 days and then jump right back on a healthy balanced eating plan.....

    Are people getting paid to think up diets like this?

    I'm not sure... and I know it sounds crazy.

    BUT I have seen it work right in front of my eyes (i.e. my co-worker)... so the proof was there (kind of) so I was curious to see what everyone thought.

    This is incredibly unhealthy. I've heard of doctors prescribing the soup-type diets, but I'd recommend them ONLY being done under the careful watch of a medical professional.

    Please DO NOT do this diet.

    I eat plenty and healthy amounts of anything , everyday and lose weight. Moderation not deprivation and screw the silly next best thing in weight loss :) Weight control is up to you .. Food has no bearing.

    I did a quick internet search and found the following...

    ***The Sacred Heart Hospital in Montreal Canada (Hôpital Sacre Coeur) issued a press release in 2004 stating that “no nutritionist at the Hospital took part in the development of this diet”.

    ***The American Heart Association have claimed that the diet is phony (ref).

    ***The Sacred Heart Medical Center also disclaim any association with the diet (ref).

    but you haven't seen it 'work', what you've seen is your co-worker losing all the water weight she gained from her cruise! As someone mentioned earlier, it's physically impossible to truly 'gain' 10 pounds in one week. absolutely cannot be done. She probably ate a lot of foods that were high in sodium and different from her normal foods, and so her body retained water. She's now shedding that and thinks it's this 'diet'.

    frankly, the diet looks like way too much work. Just eat as healthy as you can, drink lots of water, and exercise more. It's really that simple.

    Here's a good rule of thumb: "Diet" comes from the Latin diaeta, meaning "way of life." Any "diet" that you cannot live on as a way of life is not worthy of the name... or your time!

    Amen to that!
