Hi all,
I know there’s been threads on this before but I can’t find anything recent in this area.
I know this works as it’s worked for friends (male and female) who religiously so it every 4/5 months. You lose 6kilos in a week.
Anyone want to join me, starting tomorrow?
The rules and diet plan are here;

www.jaduncan.com/2006/04/how-i-lost-stone-in-week.html?m=1

The diet was designed by doctors to help people lose weight (a stone) in a week.. which I really really need as I’ve just started a new job (after 6 weeks off which meant I was bored and ate loads) as none of my dresses fit!!

Xx

@TooFat1 well done you though. I will start tomorrow and get three days, then start from day 3 on Sunday.

I started Monday, just found the thread. Started at 10stone 5.5 lb, down to 10 stone after 2 days but have stuck at 10 stone the last 2 days. Did anyone else stop losing? I only wanted to lose 7.5lb but now I’m worried I might not make it. Bit demotivated now lol.
I’ve done it twice before and lost 11 and 10lb ( started at 11st10 and 11st then though)
Has anyone else had loss stall then pick up again?

midcenturylegs · 03/05/2019 10:03

Hey. Ive been so so rubbish at sticking to this, you've done so well @howmanysleeps. I'd ride it out, you might find a drop over the weekend and I have heard of others stalling for a while and then it drops ! And on Monday you can celebrate :-)
Let us know how you get on..

Howmanysleepstilchristmas · 03/05/2019 16:15

Hmm. I’m going to carry on for today. If the scales tell me 10 stone for a 4th time tomorrow I may take the weekend off and start again next week!

Howmanysleepstilchristmas · 04/05/2019 07:47

10 stone again! Not sure whether to carry on or take a break...

Howmanysleepstilchristmas · 04/05/2019 07:48

@toofat1 how did it go for you?

Howmanysleepstilchristmas · 12/05/2019 09:21

I’m still at 10 stone 12 days later. I’ll give it another go on 18th

Howmanysleepstilchristmas · 21/05/2019 06:16

Day 1 complete. No weight loss. Has anyone not lost weight on this?

DonnaMarkZara · 23/06/2019 17:39

My partner and I are on day 4 of this diet and I wondered if balsamic vinegar is permitted ?

midcenturylegs · 21/07/2019 00:47

This isn't a particularly active thread is it..
I've got some time off in the next few weeks in between jobs. If anyone wants to join me doing this I'd be keen?

@DonnaMarkZara how did you get on in the end?

@Howmanysleepstilchristmas I'm not sure you'd lose weight after 1 day..
but a male friend has done this diet every 6 months and has always lost a stone. I think the key is to be super strict. He avoided coffee and tea and only stuck to lettuce where it says salad etc. But he also overly likes a drink so I think cutting out alcohol for a week possibly helped that weight loss too

Megan23 · 22/07/2019 21:44

Can I join? I’ve just done day 1 of this diet. Hoping this will be a good way to lose some weight quickly for a friends wedding next month.

yogima · 08/09/2019 20:53

I know this is an older thread but I am interested in trying it.
The link for the vegetarian version doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone able to copy and paste the veggie version?
Thanks
