You're right, you're fucked if a blood clot forms in the lungs cuz then it breaks loose and travels to the heart and it stops immediately with no chance of survival, tis what killed my wife 3 years ago.

Sorry to hear this...What caused the blood clot in her lungs?

You should lose weight at about the rate you gained it.. not many people gain 1-2 pounds per day.. thats a week or 2 week healthy goal...

What annoys me about all of the issue surrounding diets it is that the core issues are not addressed.. the reason people overeat and gain are usually always connected with some emotional stuff, not because we are hungrly,
and until that is dealt with nothing will work.. that's why people that have had lapband or stomach stapling become obese after their initial weight loss....

Our PCP has no clue. She just had a complete physical, stress tests, heart tests, the whole works 2 months before it happened and was given a clean bill of health. It was just her time I reckon. It upset our PCP so much that he had to take time off work.

My partner and I started this morning..two of my co workers also began it today and we will all be doing it together.. I am excited because I get support at home and at work!..Our cook at work is amazing when he knows we are on diets...he accomodates us graciously. (my 2 work friends are on their round 2 of this diet) anyway..wish us luck!..If I am brave enough I will post b4 (today) and after (26 days later) photo of myself. Its hard when your are looking in the mirror and the woman looking back at you is not who you see or feel is inside of you...

day 1..loading on all sorts of fattening foods..so far this isnt that bad

(you load for 3 days) then start the 500 calorie intake!

anyone else try or have success on this? please let me know your experience

have a blessed day

Lillie, this is NOT healthy in any way, shape or form. Your body needs a base amount of calories to function. Forget any extra to stay on the hips or tummy. Every minute you stand, you burn 2-3 calories (average). Every minute you sit, you burn 1-2 calories (average). Now, there are 1440 minutes in the day. If you do NOTHING but sit the whole day, or even sleep, then 500 calories will not be enough to allow you to function.

You will lose weight on this. You will also put yourself in danger. You will get dizzy. I hope it's not while you are driving, because then you put others in danger. You will, if you continue it, probably pass out. Once again, I hope it's not when you are driving. Your body will begin to break itself down from the inside, using muscle to feed itself since you will not be. You might lose your vision. Temporarily if you stop the diet. Possibly permanent if you don't. Your body eventually will begin to shut down non-vital functions and then organs and then...

I am surprised that so many people would be participating in this. Surely, SOMEone in the group has some basic medical knowledge?

I know the desire for a quick fix, especially with weight loss, is very strong in some folks. I do get that, but I too wonder how much thought was given to this before everyone jumped on board. It's scary to think about.

I am sad to even see this diet or any like it posted on this website.
It IS Dangerous...someone will mess around with this and die.

Yup and it makes you realize how easy it is to get rich in the world of fad diets...

Yup, that's what killed my brother last March. Docs were on the phone with my Dad, told him my brother was fine and they were going to release him. 15 minutes later he called back saying he was dead. Seems a blood clot in his leg broke loose and traveled to his lung...killed him on the spot.
