Has anyone tried this diet? From what I know it consists of only drinking maple syrup with water and lemon juice. Was thinking of doing this for maybe a weekend? Not too long as im aware that it's not very healthy haha but just to give me a kick start! Any thoughts or experiences? :)

    sounds similar to the master cleanse. really it won't kick start anything.

    Just eat foods you like and maintain a consistent caloric deficit. Getting in adequate amounts of protein and fats would be ideal as well

    ^^^THIS^^^ Fad diets are just that. Fads. Take a look at ACG's pic. Clearly, he know's what he is talking about. Do what he suggests, stay under on your calories and expect to lose between 1/2 and 2 lbs per week. That is the healthy way. Everything is fluff that someone is making money off of.

    If it settles your mind, go for it. Just be sure it's a pure grade maple syrup otherwise you'll be drinking nothing but high fructose corn syrup. Personally, I wouldn't even think of doing this.

    I heard the first time of this diet when I was 12. I remember you could buy a special maple sirup for it in the drugstore. Well, I am 35 now...so it's nothing new really *lol* Never tried it, but I believe in changing my lifestyle, not just try to lose a few pounds fast. The only time I tried this approach in my 20s it went pretty wrong. Lost 20 pounds in 10 days by just drinking slimfast 3 times a day - regained 40 pounds in the next month because my metabolism was in snail mode. Never again :).

    I did it, lost weight but gained back when I started eating. :noway: don't recommend! It is a good drink though. Would make a good energy drink for extreme workouts like long hikes or running.

    I've heard you are what you eat.

    Since I would like to be lean and ripped, I think I should start by eating Acg67. Sure hope he doesn't mind...
    Then I'm moving on to fpacudan.
    Then _david_.
    Maybe Sidesteal.
    Then N-BEAST_MODE.
    Then Big_Lew...

    Think it'll work?

    ETA: that was not necessarily the order I will consume my lean ripped friends, just a general menu.

    I understand wanting to do something like that to kick start things but i wouldn't do syrup because it's too sweet. I once did a plain oatmeal diet for 5 days i lost 9 pounds and gained back 7 fast but I would still do it again because once I was done I no longer craved sweets or soda or anything the main thing I craved was broccoli and I was able to stay on a healthy diet afterwards

    Relax. Please note that folks are criticizing the idea, and not you.

    I know a lady who did this diet and almost died! Her nutrients got so out of whack, she passed out and was in intensive care until they could get her stabilized. Yes, she lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, but was it worth it?

    Secondly, it sounds disgusting!

    My experience with cleanses is that I get so hungry to the point I want to chew off my arm and then end up just giving in and binging.

    Stick to healthy eating and stay in your calories.
