Are you tired of spending money on those new fangled “fad” diets that claim to work, but don’t?
You’ve tried them all, but finally here’s a diet that is guaranteed to work or your money back.
It’s simple, it’s easy, and it’s all yours for absolutely Free…That’s right.
There’s no crazy schedule. You don’t have to keep a journal and log down every bit of food that enters your mouth. It’s so easy, you don’t even have to buy a book and read it seventeen times to understand it. And best of all, it’s the cheapest diet known to man.
Here’s how it works.
Just drink one delicious glass of water for breakfast.
And then another nice delicious glass of water for lunch.
There is nothing in the world like “not eating” that will make you lose weight faster.
Here’s the best part. You can have anything you want for dinner. Anything at all.
However, you can only eat once per day. Sit down and eat your evening meal no sooner than 4 o clock. The closer to bed time you eat, the better. Going to bed hungry is not so much fun. I know someone who takes a sleeping pill while he is dieting so he won’t be tempted to eat late at night. I don’t think I would actually do this, but hey, to each his own.
After you stop eating dinner, don’t eat anything else.
This diet gets your brain in “will power” and “self-control” mode. Once you start nibbling on something, it’s hard to stop eating. So just say no to everything all day long and reward yourself every night with a satisfying meal.
You can drink as much as you want during the day as long as you are not consuming calories. Don’t drink artificial sweeteners. They have been scientifically proven to give you the munchies.
I have had people tell me that this diet is not healthy. I beg to differ. I met a doctor from India who fasts for three days every few months. He said this is completely healthy. It cleanses the body.
After I had twins, I weighted 180 pounds. If I stayed at that weight, I could have had all sorts of health problems. Obesity has been linked to cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, etc.
It’s just not as easy to be light on your feet and full of energy when you are carrying around extra weight.
I don’t starve myself all day long on a regular basis. I just do the diet until I get to the weight I want. Then I try to eat a balanced diet, and If my pants get too tight, I do the Jamcracker diet until they fit again.
The first couple of days is kind of rough, but the stomach shrinks and adjusts and you get used to it.
If I know that I am going to go somewhere for dinner in the evening and I will be tempted to eat way too much, I don’t eat all day long. When I get to the party, I eat whatever I want. I look like that skinny girl who can just eat whatever she wants without gaining weight.
I am five foot 4 and a half inches tall. My weight range is 115 to 140 pounds. I like to stay at 120. I’m not anorexic. I like food. I don’t think I’m fat. I don’t over do dieting. Sometimes I diet and sometimes I don’t.
I didn’t actually make up this diet. I stole it from a guy.
I used to work at the BroadRipple Subway in Indianapolis, Indiana. I worked with this fat guy there for a while. He quit, and came back to visit a few months later and he looked “HOT.”
I asked him how he lost so much weight. He told me “The Guy Diet.” I said “The Guy Diet? What’s that?”
He said “You only eat one meal a day.”
The guy asked me for a hug. Someone told me later that he had a huge crush on me and wanted to go out. I was with an overweight psychopath at the time who laid on the couch and ate food from Long John Silver’s all day long. I wish I had left my crazy guy for the hottie.” Oh well. I guess I have rambled of subject once again.
Here are some interesting diets that I have heard of:
Tim Ferris Diet:
Available in the book “The Four Hour Body”
It’s basically a slow carb diet. You eat nothing but beans and meat for six days. Then on the seventh day, you binge eat and it supposedly helps you loose weight. My husband tried this diet and lost 2 pounds per week. It was extremely expensive. I tried it for three days but quit because it made me feel sick and constipated.
Atkins Diet:
I guess most people have heard of this meat and cheese diet. You know what happened to Dr. Atkins? He’s dead.
Paleo Diet: This one is actually kind of fun. Basically you don’t eat processed grains like bread, rice, and cereal. You eat meat, vegetables and fruit. There is a book for this diet and it makes the diet extremely complicated and frustrating. I follow a modified version of this sometimes when I seem to be gaining a few pounds. It seems like I gain weight fast when I am eating from the bread group.
Raw Vegan Diet: This one was a fun diet. I did it for a month and lost 8 pounds. I had a lot of energy and felt light and airy. I was extremely hungry though. I got down to 115 pounds and called it quits on that one.
Watermelon Diet: I made this diet up. Buy watermelon with seeds. Eat tons of ice cold watermelon…seeds and all…for breakfast and lunch. Then eat a sensible dinner. Eat watermelon for snacks any time you want. I lost five pounds doing this one week.
1000 calorie diet: I had a friend in High School who lost 100 pounds on this diet. It’s simple, but I tried it once buy only eating a small sandwich for all three meals. Each sandwich is about 300 calories or so. It works.
A diet is only a crash diet if you let it become one. If you totally blow it one day and binge eat because you are starving….don’t worry, try again the next day. According to Tim Ferris, one day of binge eating can actually help you loose weight, as long as you only do it once a week. I don’t binge eat though. That’s disgusting. But you can do it if you want to.
You don’t actually have to diet, though. Plenty of people are overweight and completely happy about it. But if you are not, I highly recommend the Jamcracker diet. You don’t have to do it though. The only thing you have to do is pay taxes and die.







dear clotilda,
I’m forever on a diet, I drink coke light in the day and eat less at night!!!desperate to lose weight!!
Tazein
No way, you’re gorgeous!!
You look fabulous. I guess your dieting is working.
My dear, I have stopped dieting now, no time to !
The sad truth of the matter is you can do pretty much anything and lose weight. The trick is sticking to the task and then keeping it gone. People have to be in the right frame of mind and ready to commit to do the job well. It’s like smoking, alcohol consumption or any other bad habit, really.
Clotilda… try the Beyonce lemonade diet! J/K but check this out it’s pretty interesting http://mylifeisapictureshow.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/the-skinny-rules/ and http://mylifeisapictureshow.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/26-low-calorie-snacks/ I’m trying my hardest to lose weight without killing myself.
That’s a great diet. The no drinking your calories thing is definitely a great idea. I used to drink cream and sugar in my coffee in the morning. When I switched to black, I was able to stay a lot thinner.
And you’ve been nominated! Or you can say you won, like I did… =) http://mylifeofcards.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/and-the-winner-is/
Well, yes, you can do just about anything to lose weight. I have heard about the success of the twinkie diet, after all. But it’s a different story to lose weight and be healthy and feel good. Eating only once a day is really hard on your internal organs because it needs to replenish energy throughout the day. Eating junk for your only meal a day will eventually cause your body to feel awful. I’m certainly not against eating junk food because it holds a special place in my heart, but it led me down a serious path toward pain that no doctor could figure out. It wasn’t until recently I was able to change something and start filling my body with what it needed. I am mostly pain free these days, unless I overindulge in junk. I’m just hoping I can repair the damage I caused before it turns into something even worse.
A few weeks of only eating once a day is not going to do any damage. I think it’s anorexia you are thinking of.
No, not thinking of anorexia, but I missed the part the first time I read this where you said this was a short term thing. I was thinking in terms of long term. How are you mentally and emotionally on the days you don’t eat? I’m always curious how things work for other people.
I follow this diet as a matter of life style because I don’t want to take time to eat during the day yet I am very healthy and never been over weight in a non preg.state. Everyone says its not healthy, affects your metabolism, blah, blah. I don’t buy it: look at lions, they eat a huge meal and lay down and go to sleep. Think that you are no kin to lions? Think again! A hum, especially you Clotilda!
Now that you mention it, I am actually a Leo. So I am a lion. Excuse me. I am going to tear my claws into a Gazelle.
Thats a great diet. I’m actually fasting for the month of Ramadan. im very tiny (not by choice). I weigh about a buck 5 and im 5 ft tall. But i love eating all day…. but not junk and processed stuff… although im guilty once a week, but its the healthiest junk i can find… anyway…. i work in an accounting firm 5 days a week, 8 hrs a day… its pretty boring. i have no coworkers, down the hall smells like great food all the time… so im always hungry and of course eating. i have a super fast metabolism, yay me!!
so, the fast entails no eating from sun up to sun down. this year that amounts to 15 hours a day – no eating, no drinking, no sex, no smoking…. nothing to do with fleshly/bodily pleasures. and through out the whole day theres a lot of praying, meditating and reflecting.
i must say… i feel stupendous! I started on Friday, and i can count about 6 times only that my stomach has growled. i feel alert and in a great mood. then again, im almost always in a great mood!
Anyway… i dont agree with diets that remove all carbs and tell you to eat all the meat you want, especially beef and pork. For one, these meats, especially beef, are linked to cancer… they are all linked to high cholesterol (the bad one), and of course diabetes. i dont care how much weight someone looses, if the chances of getting these diseases are still high, thats a red flag for me!
Eating watermelon all day until dinner sounds fabulous. i should recommend that to my parents who are very lazy yet still wanna loose weight!
thanks for the post!
Peace & Love
Moon
I think that Ramadan is the ultimate struggle of will power. It’s rough to wait until sundown to eat.
I (thought) so too…. until i tried it… It was better than expected and not as hard as i assumed. I break fast around 8:15 with a date and maybe crackers, a quarter of a banana, pieces of apple…. then after about 10 or 15 minutes, i have a satisfying meal…. predominantly healthy food. then around 5 am i wake up to eat again and go back to sleep. i make sure i drink plenty of water during the time i can eat again… oh! and i also drink plenty of naturally made veggie and fruit juice. it sustains me throughout the 15 hours of absolutely no consumption.
It really is all about will power. But once completed, you get an amazing sense of empowerment!
I was thinking the same thing! This diet is very similar to fasting (minus the water drinking). But same concept, abstain from food all day, eat one good meal in the evening.
I’ve nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award:http://thevoiceofateenager.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/lovely-blog-award/
This sounds great, and you should drink a lot of water anyway. I am not big, but I don’t like to put weihgt on, and stay on my ideal weight, so if I put a kilo on ,it needs to go away again, so for me a diet only needs to last 3 to 4 days. All in all it is all will power and eating in moderation. Love your posts1
“Your photography and your writing that accompany ‘s it, is fascinating… I do so enjoy your blog.”
Thanks for stopping by my blog last week!
Is that a Bailey’s mug? I love the face!
Yes, it’s a Bailey’s mug. I have to keep my Bailey’s mug collection on a high shelf to keep them from breaking.
Thanks! After reading this post I looked on eBay for a “face mug” and saw a few sets of these, but I wasn’t 100% sure. Now I am. Hmm…wonder if I have room in my mug collection.
I am on the water-all-day-big-meal-late-at night diet not necessarily by choice but because of my circumstances! I am away from home a lot, either I am at work or at school and before I know it the day is done sometimes and I’ve had little to eat! On days I stay home I always wander to the kitchen so the schedule has helped me tremendously because at one point it was all getting out of hand. Thank you
My mother’s on this new diet where you only eat 500 calories a day or something stupid like that, and you take these droplets 6 times a day. Naturally we have a cake and a pie in the fridge, and only just got lettuce in the house because I asked for it. I’ve never seen my mother or sister stick with a diet for more than 2 weeks. I might tell them about this one, since my mom already kind of does it at work.
Wow. You lived in Indiana? Kurt Vonnegut said that a lot of bright young people have come out of Indiana–and the brighter they were, the faster they came out!
why not reverse your diet, o love eating too much on breakfast, them wouldn’t need to eat any thing at lunch, then I will have a,normal dinner, even if I eat too much on diner, I will have,some night mares but it won’t bother my diet,
anyway I don’t think any diet would be good if you don’t do sports, moving your muscles is way more beneficial to our bodies than not eating
So interesting. I couldn’t comment on the diet plan, but I totally love your drawings. Thanks for sharing.
My theory is that we are like those goldfish that grow to be the size of whatever container they are living in. When my pants start feeling a little tight around the waist, I lay off the chocolate chip cookies for a few days. Otherwise, I would end up buying a bigger pair of pants and promptly grow to the next size up. That’s what makes wearing flowing dresses so dangerous. ; )
That idea is foreign to most men.
perfect timing. I’ve been wondering if I should go back to my air and water diet. Seems like the universe says yes. :}
Love this. You crack me up.
Watch out. There are hidden calories in air. (Flies, mosquitoes, flying turkies, etc.). Don’t breathe all day. You will be amazed how much weight you lose.
Well, now I want those cinnamon rolls. Lol.
Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood. You sure are looking good! I really like your Eye of Zeye! And, from now on, I’ll always think of you when I see sticky buns! — YUR
you and i have similar stats. my weight has a happy place: about 133# (after three kids i’ll take 133) and no matter how much i work out (unless i go completely apeshit) i don’t lose weight; i’ve gotten down to 128 with a trainer and a week later, i was back to 132. if i get too light, my boobs shrink. the breadwinner doesn’t like that… neither do i (after three kids i’ll take whatever boobs i’ve got left). this was a fun read and i love the mary janes.
I like Paleo, mostly because it is called a solution, even though it still gets referred to as a diet.
Even one day with breads & grains leaves me feeling & looking bloated.
Water for breakfast, I always do that, and you’re right!
(Not bold enough to repeat the same meal for lunch, but body composition is more important to me than scale numbers.
Paleo is fine if you want lose all your teeth by the time you’re 20 and die at 35. Most modern people have a different goal: we need to avoid the diseases of old age, which is pretty much a Neolithic phenomenon.
Actually, it’s been estimated that the average “cave man” spent less time “working” than the average person does today.
Yawn.
Do more, hate less.
I am cracking up that you mentioned “the guy diet”! My husband does this every so often. Is there a Man Book that they read during puberty that teaches them all this stuff? Lol!
BTW – I am that skinny chick with a high metabolism. I spent most school dances at the snack table, this is documented by picture in several school yearbooks. I can’t dance but I can sure put it away! But, as I’ve gotten older, have to be a bit more wise. I usually eat smaller meals for breakfast and lunch and stick to one big helping at dinner. Also, we try and steer clear of overly processed foods, except for our bi- monthly frozen pizza movie nights…
Thanks for sharing this post Clo!
I love the “Guy Diet”! The name anyway. I don’t think I would ever be able to do that. Skipping meals for me is not an option.
Not sure if I said this before, but I just wanted to mention that I like your art. Maybe you should have a go a comic book?
One thing you can use in your favor (or that can work against you) is “unit bias.” Unit bias is what drives you to the “clean plate” club. Simply put, it means that you tend to eat or drink (or buy, but that’s a different story) one unit. If that unit is a plate of food, you’ll tend to eat everything on the plate. If that unit is a small bag of chips, you’ll tend to eat the whole bag. If someone hands you a big bag of chips, you’ll tend to eat the whole bag.
I know that a “serving” of Oreos is three cookies. Sometimes I’ll eat only three, but more often than not I’ll eat six or nine. If it’s a really bad day, I can go through most of the box — three at a time.
On the other hand, you can use this to your advantage. I lost quite a bit of weight with three simple rules:
- I had a small but protein-rich breakfast (half a peanut butter sandwich, two microwaved eggs, that kind of thing).
- I had a frozen entree for lunch. Don’t worry too much about the brand or type, they are almost always between 300 and 400 calories. This is where the unit bias comes into play: very few people would eat two.
- I made sure that, at some point during the day, I wasn’t hungry.
sounds much better than the locust diet. I lost about 30 pounds when I went raw vegan to fight cancer. I agree your plan sounds workable, although someone who cycles long distance needs to take regular calories during long exercise to avoid the bonk.
Ha Ha, I don’t have to pay taxes! Unfortunately, I do have to die
I just found your blog – interesting approach. I like your humor!
This is how I diet when I’ve gained a few pounds. In a day or two, I’ve lost them.
You have a very nice stomach.
Really enjoyed your post! You’re very funny! if anyone is interested about reading confidence with men read my latest blog
You are probably one of the most interesting human beings on the Internet. I love reading your posts!
Do I have to change cups in the middle of the day? I don’t have a cup with a face on it, only ordinary cups. I hope my boring cups won’t affect the diet!
Yes. you must use a different cup each time you change meals. The alteration of cuppage causes a mutation of the fat cells. It is necessary to have a cup with a face on it for this same reason. You can call it metaphysical if you like, however, I beg to differ. A recent study done at Stanford University has discovered that people who drink from cups with faces on them are eighty nine percent thinner than those who don’t. They have linked this anomaly to the amygdalic process which sends carbonic nucleotides through the nervous system. This causes fat cells to metastasize and change into muscle cells.
If you can’t afford the Bailey’s brand mugs, you can draw a face onto a cup using a sharpie brand permanent market. This message was brought to you today by Jamcracker Mart.
Love the Jamcracker diet. I do this almost every day already, except when I eat paleo bacon and eggs for breakfast. Primal / paleo is my usual style, but since I started that diet / lifestyle I often simply forget to eat until dinner time. Go figure.
Good on you!
hmmm, i think if i ate this way i would fall over and die. but if it works for you, fabulous!! i am actually too skinny so… i have so many food restrictions, gluten-free, dairy, nightshade, soy… etc., that it’s pretty easy to keep the weight down. you might try that one?!
no… i’m kidding.
Uh….”been” on it, the Jamcracker Diet, sorry about that…meant to say also that I found that it worked quite well, as a twenty-something, in tandem with the Ride My Bike Around the Block Fifty Times to Stalk the New Kid exercise plan.
Shoot me NOW — I’m made a hot mess of your comments :p
I’ve definitely bean on the Jamcracker Diet before. Lately, Scott and I have had great success with the Stop Eating So Damn Much Diet. Really, anyone can do it. In fact, there aren’t any details to remember other than the name of the diet. Genius, huh?
That’s what makes the diet so wonderfully brilliant. Skip a few meals, loose a few pounds. It’s nice to hear that you’ve had success with it.
Arggggghhhhhh! Going to bed now.
Hi, I’ve nominated you for Beautiful Blogger award. You can check on what to do on my post. Good luck!
Actually, not eating is easier if you also don’t drink. Somehow, that glass of water gets your stomach juices flowing and before you know it, the hunger pangs will get the best of you. All in all, I’d say the least torturous way to lose weight is to eat everything, but control your portions. And substitute, substitute. Craving chocolates? Have some grapes. Want a cookie, but already had 3 today? Grab a banana. In the summer, you can just keep stuffing yourself with fruit and berries all day. It’s a great vitamin boost that will last throughout the year and it will you let you shed some pounds
That was great. Very funny intro.
Wonderful post .amazing picture. Jalal Michael
The more fruits and veggies the better.
I wonder if grasshoppers would be considered okay to eat on a paleo diet. I didn’t read anything about them in the paleo solutions book.
Grasshoppers are actually ideal paleo / primal food. But I would definitely want to cook them. I hear they are great stir-fried with garlic.
do you have a diet that makes people gain weight? I eat toooooooooooo much but yet an tooooooooooo thin
do you have a diet that makes people gain weight? I eat toooooooooooo much but yet an tooooooooooo thin
Come a little closer to me when you say that so I can slap you.
hehe, but am serious about that, people keep talking about loosing weight, but no one talks about gaining weight, where as am really concerned about gaining weight, I am tall but too thin, I eat too much but when I tell people about that no one believe me.
Its so beautiful !
Nicely narrated !
I have occasionally been forced by poverty to the one meal a day plan, with tea instead of water. The trick is to go bed not feeling hungry so you can get a good night’s sleep. Never do it by choice. In fact, it’s making me hungry just reading about it.
While I am not as old as my profile pic (that’s my awesome grandmother), I have reached a certain vintage at which weight does not come off in the good-natured way that it used to. This pisses me off. This Paleo stuff is probably healthy and awesome, but I keep returning to the question of life expectancy of humans during the Paleo-time. I think that they were skinny and died young. Mick Jagger used to be the poster child of that concept, but now he has outlasted his Paleolithic counterparts. What to do?
To be all honest with you and everything. I just like to be thin so I can look good in my red polka dot dress.
Just like Mick.
Hi, first of all thanks for liking my posts. You’ve done it a few times and I’ve checked out your blog, which is entertaining but I don’t think I’ve commented, never sure what to say.
As to diets, I’m on a non-diet now, that’s to say just eating less, and have lost several kilos in the past few months [don't do pounds - is that British or American?]. Have never drunk water much though, I get all my fluid from coffee and wine. Generally though, diet talk is pretty boring. It’s only in recent years that I’ve had to look to the matter. Ah metabolism, thy light, swift tread has turned into a galumphing thump.
I agree with this diet!! Not many people do…Get results fast and it is totally a guy diet! Did you ever notice that when they are done dinner, they are done? No more snacking and picking like us girls. It makes me feel like we are weaker than they are and I hate that!
I see the opposite- my guys constantly nibbles on whatever he wants, and since I have no will power, I join him. He never gains weight. When he’s not around, I don’t eat junk.
Cool blog.
The raw vegan diet is something I can do, if I ever want to go on a diet, and the watermelon diet sounds almost fun… because I like watermelon. The jamcracker diet sounds doable and I think it will definitely work too. One part I am not sure about is to eat before you sleep. That does help you sleep but it also counters some of your efforts because then those calories stick. I heard that you should stay awake for at least 3 hours after you eat. I do agree with not eating anything at all after that.
That reminds me, I think I’ll start dieting tomorrow!
This post is absolutely crazy!
I am a minimalist in all that I do. I have said I could never write a book because my writing is so spare and bare. My book for losing weight, very short read: eat less, exercise more.
Minimalist books are the “in” thing right now. That could really work out for you.
I have heard of variations of this, drink 1 gallon of water by 2:00 pm (but seriously only one liter per hour or you can drown yourself) and eat no carbs, smaller portions 500 calories a day. PS – thanks for the like
I’ve heard of this. It’s interesting, but I lack the ability to be hungry, especially in the morning.
I’ve heard of this. It’s interesting, but I lack the ability to be hungry, especially in the morning.
The first few days are agony, but the stomach shrinks and it’s not so bad after that. I prefer the watermelon diet, but the Jamcracker diet is a lot cheaper.
Please tell me this is a joke. In reality, it’s a temporary fix. VERY temporary.
Once you start eating again, the body is so starved, it will turn everything into fat reserves.
If anyone is looking to loose weight, their diet needs to be full of fibre, fluid, low-sugar fruits and veg. and excercise. NO soda of any sort; no candies, dairy – unless the yogurt is plain, no canned meals, or frozen pizza.
Your brain runs on glucose! You can try this out, but your stomach won’t be the only thing shrinking.
Many people have tried everything. Consider then, this possibility:
http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/
http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episode/programmed-to-be-fat.html
and reconsider what and how you eat from now on.
You and I are very much so alike. Same height, same weight range, same eating habits. I’ve tried everything from eating like a texan to anorexia. The bread category makes me plump too.
Funny how a random “like” can lead you to someone who’s open about our “dangerous” dieting technique….even though I don’t speak on my ridiculed dieting in my blog. Or to anyone for that matter. Thanks for sharing!
Yep, I can identify with the Jamcracker diet …
I tried the Paleo Diet without reading to far into the book and didn’t really know what I was doing and ended up hurting myself. I am not blaming the diet, I am blaming myself for trying a diet that takes a lot of reading without actually studying up enough. I ended up eating too many acidic things. Adding lemon juice to my salmon and to my salad, nearly daily. Without the breads and carbs to soak up some of that acid my stomach started eating away at itself. After only a few short weeks I ended up with gastritis at age 24.
I may try the Paleo Diet again down the line but right now it is simply not possible. I may try the Jamcracker diet because I want to lose weight but I can only eat some specific things my doctor prescribed.
I used to be vegetarian and I actually ate no vegetables or fruit. I pretty much ate bread and cheese and veggie burger. When I switched to eating loads of fruits and vegetables, it was a bit rough on my stomach. I think it takes a lot of getting used to. I used to watch my weight all the time, but I could never seem to get under 145 pounds. I have recently discovered that if I eat bread like products, I gain weight, but if I don’t eat them, I can get down to 115 pounds.
Here are some foods that I can eat loads of and not gain any weight: frozen blueberries, frozen cherries, watermelon, peanuts, pistachios, cashews, peanut butter, cheese, raisins, chicken, beef, fish, salad, carrots, and just about anything from the produce section.
Bread, rice, tortillas, chips, crackers, all these things make me gain weight.
That’s interesting. I liked the idea of having watermelon for breakfast and lunch. It makes you not hungry but doesn’t give many calories because of the high water content. Is this true of other melons or foods that you have found?
I wonder if it was really the lemon juice that did that. I’ve read that lemon juice becomes alkaline as soon as we consume it, and in fact, one doctor used it for a patient who had ulcers and wasn’t responding to any other treatment. The lemon juice worked-
The one meal a day does work. I love bread but like you I gain weight real fast when I eat bread. Back in my younger days when I worked nights I only ate one meal a day and stayed nice and slim. I really enjoyed this blog. Hugs
I am trying this diet! I started today except I added a healthy cereal for breakfast. Thanks for the post!
Interesting approach – I’ve been reading about the benefits of fasting a fair bit recently, and I’ve been considering a similar system. Thanks for sharing!
I have had an ongoing debate with educated, and ignorant, people for most of my life about fasting. Both kinds insist it is not good for you, and I still read articles from health ‘professionals’ that state the same thing. What you are doing is twenty-four hour fasts. I completely agree with you that eating breakfast starts the urge to eat, and I am sick and tired of hearing everybody say you ‘have’ to eat breakfast to lose weight. I believe in fasting and have since I read “Fit For Life’ and ‘The Miracle of Fasting’. Fasting is mentioned 70 times in the Bible alone, not to mention all the other people who do it. As for me, I am so screwed up from a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, that fasting is probably my only recourse for losing weight-
