Maple syrup diet

[Stoney666]

My friend keeps on about this has anyone done it??

Bump

Is this not a totally fad starvation diet where you get conned into buying special very expensive maple syrup? No haven't done it and don't understand why anyone would.

"This diet is potentially dangerous. Effectively, it involves drinking nothing but sugared water for days on end. Of course you will lose weight, but that?s purely the result of limiting calories excessively.

A tablespoon (which they say is 10ml) of Natural Tree Syrup contains just 26 calories. That means if you have six drinks a day (each containing the recommended 2 tablespoons of syrup), your daily intake will be just 312 calories. Even nine drinks only provide 468 calories."

waste of time

Madness.

Anna Richardson did this as part of a faddy diet experiment on Supersize v Superskinny a couple of years ago. Its nonsense, of course. Weight loss is simple - eat less, move more, its putting it into practise thats tricky! Dont waste your time, have you seen the Paul Mckenna thread

That's what I've been telling her she's mad. Will have another nag
