    Take this with a grain of salt because I don't know anything about the UpDay DownDay diet, but 500 calories for a whole day seems awfully low. :frown:

    It is low for calories but it's just every other day. So my down days are 500 calories but the updays are unlimited. My down days have kind of trained me to eat healther on my updays. I did this a few months ago for a month and a half and lost 19 lbs. I quit doing it because I have been going thru a seperation with my husband and I just wasn't focused on a "diet" I did however keep the weight off in the meantime. I just started back on it this past Monday and I am hoping it works as good this time! :-)

    I was just reading about it and you are supposed to eat 500 calories OR 20% of your maintenance calories - which for me would be 360 calories for one day! Yikes! I won't knock you for it but it's certainly not something I would want to do.

    As for under 200 calories for a meal I like prawn stir fry (or chicken) with lots of veggies but no sauce or noodles.

    This sounds interesting. It puts my down days at around 600... it might be worth a try....

    Very interesting.

    Walmart has three different pre-made salads that are under 200 calories.


    Good luck with this, I couldn't do it.

    I agree with some of the other ladies. Anything under 1200 calories is rather low, and the risk of the body enterning starvation mode is present. If this works for you, I won't knock it. Good luck....

    I don't know anything about this diet but if you have stuff to make chili ( with or wIthout lean ground turkey), a bowl of that is usually in the 200-300 calorie range! Also filling
