Anyone doing/ done the lose a stone in a week diet?

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

I'm just starting Day 6 (though have moved day 1 to the end so it's day 7 of the plan- don't have access to anywhere to cook tomorrow in work so had to switch days so I'm home to cook the day 7 menu iyswim). Does weight loss stop/ decrease towards the end? I've been weighing myself each morning, and there's no change from yesterday (well, 0.2 lb heavier, but not much change). Bit disappointed as thought I was on target. Does anyone with any experience know if it'll kick back in? It's pretty hard going and if the last 3 days aren't going to help I wonder if it's worth carrying on.
I'm 5'6", starting weight 10 stone 9, down to 10 stone 1 after 4 days. I'm hoping to use the diet to kick start weight loss again (lost 7lb in the previous month and will continue healthy eating plan once my week is up)

How did you and DH get on?

Starting this today on a whim. DH, who's been skinny all his life, has just tipped over from 25 to 26 BMI, and I can't fit into half my favourite dresses. We're doing an experiment. He's playing it completely straight because he likes everything on the menu, whilst I'm sticking to the spirit but not the letter of the diet - so for example I had lunch out with friends today and had a plain protein and salad meal that would have been completely acceptable later in the week rather than plain fruit, but I didn't have my breakfast toast so it should balance out in calorie terms, and I'm eating most of my eggs scrambled in the microwave (no butter) because I don't really like them boiled. We will report back next week on who had the best results.

well done to you too. safe to say that 2 eggs and a tomato did not do the job, but instead of reaching for a bag of crisps or sweeties, i blended some fruit and had a smoothie, so still pretty healthy

[badgerread]

Well done! I kind of came off the wagon as the event I was doing it for got cancelled! 😂 but I'm 2.5 pounds down in 4 days so I'm happy with that (cheated a bit on days 3 and 4) I found day 3 SO hard. Just wasn't enough. I am going to try again in a couple of weeks though and stick to it!

[beardymcbeardy]

im on day 3, have lost 3lb so far. Cheated a bit on the first day, had some ice cream and ended up having a pork chop cut into my egg salad and added dressing. Yesterday instead of steak had chicken and bacon, and added dressing to my salad too. But even still doing that 3lbs off :D so far soo good today but ill admit im starving and somehow 2 boiled eggs and tomatoes doesnt seem like enough to satisfy me till tea time!

Day 3 is hardddddd!!

[namechange20050]

I'm tempted to give this a go! Weight has crept up because I snack on my toddlers left overs...

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

No, it's surprisingly easy isn't it?

[badgerread]

It's upthread Barchester.

Just finishing Day 1 and TBH it hasn't been that bad!

[ihatethecold]

Can anyone link to the diet please.

[BarchesterFlowers]

👍🏻👍🏻pringles for breakfast 😂😂😂.

[beardymcbeardy]

im 5'9 and 10st 13. Ideally would like to get down to 10st but even 10sy7 would keep me happy. I think i will try this for a week, starting tomorrow as I had pringles for breakfast . Will update in a week if it worked for me.

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

I'm 5'6" and was 149lb, went down to 141, 1 week post diet 139 so haven't put it back on (yet...)

[badgerread]

Howmany could I ask how much you weighed and how tall you are? I was doing SW and it's stalled. However I'd like to go back once I've kickstarted again as I quite enjoy the way of eating! I've got around stone to lose...

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

I think the grapefruit counteract the eggs....

[MrsGotobed]

Surely all those eggs just bung you up?

(or is it just me that is prone to being egg-bound? )

[TitilatedOcelot]

This is the one I did

[TitilatedOcelot]

I did it a while ago as a sprint to the finish in an annual weight loss thing we do in work (weigh in at start of Jan, weight out before end of Feb, largest percentage loss wins the pot of entry fees).

I didn't win the cash, but I did lose about 10lbs that week alone. Can't remember if it stayed off for long, as I fell off the diet wagon soon after. I think it would have been ok if I had kept up the sensible eating instead of going on a carb fest of a ski holiday.

I didn't find it too bad and started to like all the grapefruit. It was called the James Duncan diet when I did it. Might try it again to kick start my summer diet.

[toffeeboffin]

Crikey it's hard-core that diet.

Still, 9lbs in a week! 👙

[Goingtobeawesome]

Mine is similar to daytonas but no way is it 19 eggs. I've just checked again. Just the nine.

[ShoesHaveSouls]

Ah - that would explain it. I did the one posted by Daytona79 upthread. 19 eggs in 7 days is a bit much even for me - I was nearly put off eggs for life

I do like an egg for breakfast though, esp when dieting. Stops me craving sugary crap.

[Goingtobeawesome]

Shoes, can't be doing the same plan as me then .

[ShoesHaveSouls]

Goingtobeawesome, not wishing to argue or anything but I count 19 eggs and had eggs everyday.

I think it's the diet given to people who need to drastically lose weight before an operation - and I think it's good to have the boost of losing a large amount of weight in one week. I have nothing against it, except that I felt sick on it. Stopped me feeling hungry though

Do check out the Blood Sugar diet though - more variety/flexibility and similar drastic weight loss results.

[Goingtobeawesome]

Not every day..

Good luck Cb756.
