Anyone tried it? Does it harm you?

Somehow I didnt picture you as the diet type.

Subtract the beer and I've been pretty much on this diet for about 10 years

Seriously, a good friend of mine tried it for about 6 months, lost a bunch of weight.

it can be a major pain in the arse and expensive too...

co-worker is on it and when we goto lunch he usually cant have anything on the menu (hosiptal cafeteria)

he has to "make" deli sandwiches with no bread. priced by weight he spends about the same as 3-4 full sandwiches.

if you are going to do it ZERO beer allowed. and you have to plan your meals well in advance.

Beer? Miller Lite in small amounts is OK, Vodka in large amounts isn't recommended, nut no carbs!

Does vodka have carbs???

What about chili cheese fries?

It's really not a very good diet to stick by. Sure it seems tempting, but even too much protein can wreak havoc on your kidneys. If you drink vodka with club soda, that has no carbs. As far as diet is concerned, there should be no quick fixes, just permanent healthy eating habits. Hope you guys don't mind me posting seriously on here. Now that I found you, I'm starting to lurk around.

Diets crack me up. Why don't people ever try eating healthy and really exercising.

My friend and my friends dad have been on that diet for like 6 months. She's lost like 45 pounds, her dad has lost like 60. Only problem is they still look the same to me. If you want to change the way you look, the only way to do it is to exersize and lift weights. If not it is kinda like... you start out as a 250 pound pear shaped person.. you lose 50 pounds and now you are a 200 pound pear shaped person.
