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

I had an early lunch pnuter Wink
Today will be the hardest day I expect by tomorrow we’ll be in the swing of it

Tough day soooo craving something sweet! But 2 down, how did everyone else get on?

Mybestusername · 22/11/2017 07:12

I have been lurking and I am on Day 3. The scales showed a 3lb loss so far which is keeping me going, it is bloody miserable though. Hope it will be worth it, I have 2 stone to lose and would like some serious progress before Xmas.

Zazu44 · 22/11/2017 07:52

Mybestusername agree it's quite miserable. I was wanting to do it again before Xmas but will see! Hoping it will at least kickstart my arse in gear to dieting. Haven't got on scales as going to try and hold out until Mon morn but don't feel any different.

I feel a little less bloated and hunger is going now. But, i did have melon instead of grapefruit

FilledSoda · 22/11/2017 09:55

I've just had my day 3 breakfast , 2 eggs and a grapefruit.
I'm feeling good , 4lbs down and much less bloated.
I've had a Slimatee ( herbal tea from H&B ) the last two nights which has really flattened my stomach.
I need to force myself to drink enough and I really miss milk in my tea & coffee. Will the craving for milk ease during the 7 days?
I'll be shocked if I shift 14lbs to be honest but I'd still be delighted with 10lbs.
My tip is , go to bed early.

Mybestusername · 22/11/2017 18:39

I’ve been quite light headed and fuzzy all day, but sticking with it. Am having salmon fillet for dinner rather than lamb chops and I will definitely be having an early night!

HashBrowns · 22/11/2017 20:57

I’ve ordered all the stuff to start this tomorrow, how’s everyone else doing with it?

Zazu44 · 22/11/2017 21:16

It's ok, not so much hunger that's the problem but the tasteless food as no seasoning etc. It is doable though. Good luck 😊

HashBrowns · 23/11/2017 07:29

Well it's day 1, eating my dry toast and tomatoes now, feeling positive and I'm determined to stick to it Smile

Zazu44 · 23/11/2017 08:03

Go HashBrowns you can do it!

Mybestusername · 23/11/2017 09:31

Oh dear, I have started to deviate from the plan a little - couldn’t face dry toast this morning so had a small smidge of marmite on it, followed by coffee with soya milk. I’m sure it won’t completely derail me, but it’s so easy to think “this won’t matter” - before you know it you’re shovelling cake down! Grin

FilledSoda · 23/11/2017 15:54

Day 4 for me , absolutely ravenous.
I had my dinner for lunch and spent the day cleaning everything to try to distract myself.
Can’t wait until tomorrow , an avocado and 100g cottage cheese , not even being sarcastic, I am really looking forward to it .
I’ve lost 6.5 lbs.

Mybestusername · 23/11/2017 16:17

FilledSoda where did you get the veggie version of the diet from?

FilledSoda · 23/11/2017 18:11

Bostin posted a link further up the thread

Mybestusername · 23/11/2017 19:15

Thanks, I missed that Blush

pnutter · 23/11/2017 19:17

Ive lost it totally. Puked up this morning and needed food tonight. Damn.

FilledSoda · 23/11/2017 19:26

Oh no pnutter Shock
Why were you sick ?

HashBrowns · 23/11/2017 20:16

Hope you're ok pnutter.
I've completed day 1, I'm starving but really want to stick to it. Just cooked my husband a rack of bbq ribs and fries and now sat here with a cuppa watching him eat it Envy

Mrsfloss · 23/11/2017 20:53

I’m sure I done a 5 day version of this and lost a pound! Following and if you guys are succuesfully I’ll follow with my Lardy arse

CupcakeEater · 23/11/2017 21:15

Day 4 here and this has been the most difficult day so far...only 2lbs down at the mo and I am soooo hungry, craving cheese and chocolate. Early bed for me I think.

pnutter · 23/11/2017 23:47

Dont know why i puked but i cant ever eat a grapefruit ever again. Feel fine since.

MyBrilliantDisguise · 23/11/2017 23:52

What is meant by 'salad' here? Just lettuce?

Florene · 24/11/2017 00:18

The veggie version lists salad as lettuce, tomato, cucumber and celery only.

WillowWitch · 24/11/2017 02:31

I've read through the diet and all the comments on the link and on here and I'm in.

I've put on 1.5 stone since last xmas and feel like shit so hoping to use this as a kick start.

How is everyone doing on it?
