    You're more dedicated than me, I couldn't stand eating eggs that much. Especially hard boiled.

    That doesn't sound fun at all! Have you tried eating a normal diet, but just carefully keeping your daily calories under 1,500 or so (or whatever you need to lose a pound a week)? That's what I'm doing.

    How old is your baby now?

    Does this diet put you in a caloric deficit?

    How old is your baby? Are you breastfeeding?

    I personally wouldn't choose that diet if breastfeeding as it doesn't sound as if you'd be getting the right nutrients to support you and your baby. Your body would prioritise making quality milk but that could be at the expense of your own health, particularly if you aren't eating enough calories.

    Secondly, I wouldn't choose that diet if looking after two young children, at least one of whom is a small baby, because I know how much energy being a mum uses up (especially when sleep deprived) and it wouldn't have got me through the newborn weeks/months. Be kind to yourself. Make sure you are getting enough energy and quality nutrients. Make that your number one priority above losing weight unless there is a very serious medical/life endangering reason to do so.

    Thirdly, I wouldn't choose that diet at all because it sounds utterly depressing.

    Yeah .. But I put Louisiana hot sauce on them to change it up every now and then .. Also u only do it for 2 weeks. To jump start.. Saposidly u lose 10 lbs in that time. But we will see. Then ill be open for any suggestion on a new diet or challenge ..

    You don't "jump start" anything - you aren't a car. Most of what you'll lose is water weight as you are eating lower carbs. Why not just start eating normally now?

    I mean you could eat eggs for 2 weeks and lose 10 lbs but it might just be water weight because you're not eating anything else. Do what others have said, try just doing a calorie deficit first and eat whatever foods you like in your budget. It'll be more sustainable that way, how much weight do you actually have to lose?
    I'll say from experience when I had my son I lost weight without doing any special diet I just ate a bit less than I normally would. Granted that wasn't on purpose but if you try it will work.

    Hi Nikki - congratulations on having your 2nd baby!! How old is she and are you breastfeeding? I ask because you need to give yourself time to recover from growing a human!! Also, if you're breastfeeding you need to eat more calories to sustain your milk supply and to keep yourself healthy while feeding her :smiley:
    Regarding the egg diet... I looked at a couple pages about it and it seems like it's just a high protein, very low carb & low calorie diet. You can eat that way without restricting yourself to eggs :wink: I agree with the above poster that that seems like a good way to start hating eggs (when I was in high school, I went on the Atkins diet and ate eggs soooo much that I developed quite an aversion to them - that was over 40 years ago and they're still not my favorite food, lol)
    Good luck to you with whatever you decide!!

    I eat eggs everyday, and love them. However, ACV detoxes are woo. All detoxes are woo.

    Weight loss is achieved through a calorie deficit. Don't torture yourself to get there OP.

    I hope you aren't so set in your ways that you won't take good advice! We're simply telling you that you don't need to do those things. You don't have to follow a certain diet. You can eat what you'd like, in a calorie deficit, and still lose weight. Please read those topics I posted. Good luck to you!

    and not doing anything else either.......theres nothing magic about what your adding to the water it's a sad marketing ploy to sell magazines...and acv

    Well I know I don't have acid reflex lol that's a good thing .. Also I get a boost of energy from it .. .. I guess its all just personal experiences

    Congratulations on becoming a mom! Now that you're a mom, you need to take great care of yourself for your baby. And part of that is NOT doing fad diets that force you to eat the same thing over and over. Stick with calorie counting and give yourself a balanced diet. It'll work if you're honest with your logging and stick with it.

    I can think of a lot more enjoyable ways to consume 1300 calories. (I definitely wouldn't be wasting any on ACV or honey in a drink..)

    It's challenging with a newborn baby, I remember trying to get shut eye whenever he was asleep cuz he only slept for 2 hours at a time. If you're not utterly exhausted when she naps maybe try just a little strength training as a workout. Even just 20-30 minutes make a difference. Or if you have a stroller you can take her out for walks, if you've got a jogging stroller take her out for runs. Walking a lot helped me after I had my son.
