Blogger James Duncan tried this diet and says he lost a stone in a week! James was told that this diet is designed for people who need to lose weight quickly before they have an operation. We had a look through it and don’t think we could do it! But maybe you have more will power than we do.
Here is the diet:
| Day | Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner |
| 1 | 1 slice dry toast with 1 gilled tomato OR tinned tomatoes | Fresh fruit - any amount | 2 hard boiled eggs. Salad & grapefruit |
| 2 |
Grapefruit 1 boiled egg |
Grilled chicken with tomatoes Toast |
Grilled steak Salad |
| 3 |
Grapefruit 1 boiled egg |
Fresh fruit - any amount |
2 grilled lamb chops Salad & grapefruit |
| 4 | 1 slice dry toast | Fresh fruit - any amount |
2 hard boiled eggs Salad & grapefruit |
| 5 | 1 slice dry toast | Fresh fruit - any amount |
Fresh fish Salad |
| 6 | 1 glass grapefruit juice | Fresh fruit - any amount |
Grilled chicken Carrots & grapefruit |
| 7 |
Scrambled eggs Grilled or tinned tomatoes |
2 poached eggs Spinach |
Grilled steak Salad |
Rules of the diet:
- No alcoholic drinks
- Permitted drinks: black coffee, tea, lemon/grapefruit juice without sugar
- No milk, butter or fats
- NO EATING BETWEEN MEALS
- Abstain from all not included in diet. Eat what’s there or go without.
- ONLY DIET FOR ONE WEEK IN THREE – TWO WEEKS OFF
- No substitutes allowed. The basis of the diet is chemical, not the quantities.
- Lunch and dinner may be swapped but only on the same day.
- GUARENTEED TO LOSE ONE STONE IN ONE WEEK
Tips:
- The grapefruit sourness is a lot more bearable with pink grapefruit. Also, if you have a sweet tooth normally, bear in mind that grapefruit sweetens a lot in the last stages of ripening.
- If you are hungry and really want to eat, drink water to keep the hunger at bay.
- If you are desperate for flavour on some of the blander dishes, add a little lemon juice.
