I would only do it for 3 days, then eat normally but healthy as possible the rest of the week, then start again. That's what I want to try. Or every other day at least. It's a very hard diet to stick to but you'll definitely lose weight!

Great! Happy to help. Now I need to put it into practice too. I'm the same weight as you ☺️

Id probably choose Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for my days. I really want to try this! Maybe next week. I'm a type 1 diabetic though so I'm not sure if I can. I guess I can try it and see.

I'll be having coffee with coconut milk instead of the green tea which I can't stand the taste of. I don't like any teas. Yuck.

Id love to do it together with you. I'm hoping to start on Monday iyH. Just for 3 days. Send more doable although I hope I manage. It's very restrictive!

Nearing the end of day two and I'm not as hungry as I thought I'd be. And I was so nervous about the green tea, I was sure I'd hate it but I am enjoying it. I think coffee isnt allowed on this plan. Yes it's definitely very restrictive but if only for 3 days it's super doable! Good luck!

I've started this morning. Just to test if this even works!

When it comes to diets there are possibilities a lot worse than "doesn't work."

A crash diet (ie going way under your needed daily dose of calories) can mess with your metabolism for months or even YEARS. Making it harder to lose weight in the future.

You can lose muscle mass.

You can experience bouts of anger or even rage due to your blood sugar going haywire (not great if, say, you're in charge of small children).

Loss of nutrients can lead to hair loss, weak nails, brain fog, and some other nasty things.

Particularly bad diets can damage your immune system, heart, or liver.

I'm not against dieting in general. But sorry, your approach here is really dangerous. Is this specific diet dangerous - I don't know. But in general to approach extreme diets with an attitude of "whelp, may as well try!" is not a good idea. There are real risks. I really strongly recommend that anyone considering a diet like this run it by a nutritionist first. At a minimum, you don't want to do more harm than good.

Thank you for your concern.
I agree that some crash diets can be dangerous for the wrong people.
By that logic, isn't banding/the sleeve or a gastric bypass far more dangerous?
I'm currently at 900 to 1000 calories a day, and getting protein, carbs, calcium, natural sugars,
And this is for a maximum of 10 days
People who staple are absorbing far less calories, starting with liquid only, long term!

How's it going? Did anyone do it over Shabbos?
I couldn't do it on Shabbos.
Started today, really hope I can do this for 3 days until I get weighed on Tues evening.

I think the trick is to snack on cucumbers and carrots throughout the day to keep our metabolism going.

Omg that's crazy. I have a lot of eggs as it is so I know I'm not allergic to them. 6 a day is a lot for me though. I usually have around 3-4

I'm up to my Apple as part of my lunch.
Do I need to have the eggs now or can I have them in an hour or so? I'm too full because I had breakfast later than usual today as it's Sunday.

Had cucumber and carrot as well but I'm going to stop for now because I need space for 3 more eggs and the oats later 😅

Oh my gosh

I eat lots of eggs (more egg whites than with yolks) so I'm not concerned for hat but thanks for sharing

I was perfect all of Wednesday Thursday and friday, - I weighed myself just before candle lighting and lost 3.1kgs! Then decided to let myself go for Shabbos but only for the meals. I had Challah, dips, kugel, desert, everything but didn't eat any cake or nosh between meals. Weighed myself this morning, gained 1.2kgs.
179.2lbs this morning and started fresh.
Thrilled so far!

That's amazing! I'm most of the way through day one. Wednesday can't come quick enough 😅 not planning to binge or anything just a couple of treats. It's anyway my treat day as it's my day off work so I'll get a lasagne takeaway and a little chocolate or something and eat healthy the rest of the day. Then Thurs, Fri and Shabbos regular being careful and trying my best to eat healthy as possible.
Then Sunday I plan to start again for 3 days. But let's see how these 3 days go for me first.
🫣
Not easy! I'm already kind of fed up of eggs and I've only had 6!

Good luck imas who are trying it. When I was younger a 3 day diet was popular. I don't remember it exactly but breakfast for example was 9 snackers, sardines and green beans. Similar lunch (maybe hard boiled eggs!) and chicken and veg for supper. All very weighed out but the best bit was 60g vanilla ice cream in the evening!

It was good to kick-start a diet. A different one was 6 bananas and I think 3 mugs of skimmed milk per day which was also good. My mum did hard-boiled eggs and tomatoes.
