I found this diet online The Mayo Clinic DietYou do it for 12 days and then stop for 2 days and eat sensibly and then do it again and keep doing it untill you lost all the weight that you wanted. So here it is: For breakfast you have 1/2 grapefruit, 2 eggs cooked any style, 2 slices of bacon, and tea. For lunch you have 1/2 grapefruit, salad with REAL dressing (not low fat or reduced calorie), fresh veggies, unlimited meat. For dinner you have 1/2 grapefruit, unlimited meat, salad with real dressing, fresh veggies and tea. And before bedtime you can have either a glass of tomato juice or skim milk. How does this diet sound? I wanna go on it after the Cabbage Soup diet. So I will be on the Cabbage Soup diet for a week and then this for 12 days. I just dont' want to put any weight on during winter break and it's so long. My winter break is exactly 19 days! Plus, on the Mayo clinic diet I can actually get through the holidays without feeling deprived. WHAT DO YOU THINK??????? By the way, I'm 5'5 and 145lbs. I want to loose 15 lbs during the break. I know it's a lot, but about half of it is water weight!!!!! Thanks. Will the weight stay off do you think???
Reply from newgirl, Age 14 - 12/18/04 - IP#: 68.104.241.xxx whered you find these diets. normally ive only seen postings about those diets at pro-ana sites and stuff. neither healthy, and you wont keep the weight off. but heres my advice. go on the cabbage soup diet, and then switch to a low caloire (1500 cals or so) diet for a week. if you dont gain an ounce or lose weight, then go on the mayo diet like you want. if you gain weight, that just proves you only lost water weight, and you should find alternate means of losing weight. so go for trial and err. go on the diet, and then go on a 1500 cal diet, and see what happens. good luck!!!
Reply from Mandy, Age 17 - 12/16/04 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx Yeah... I agree with Kathryn... it might sound good, but its true.. unles you alternate the "grapefruit diet" every 12 days then 2 days for the rest of your life the weight is gonna come piling back on as soon as ure done.. and as usual with diesting sometimes u gain more back then u were before u started... fad diets are horrible for ure body cu it screws up ure metbolism alot.. my advice eat healthy and sensibly and excersize and u can lose 15 pounds and keep it off in about 2-3 weeks cuz trst me i dont think ure gonna wanna eat grapefruit for the rest of ure life
Reply from kathryn, Age 17 - 12/16/04 - IP#: 80.131.89.xxx first and foremost, water weight doesnt stay off, sorry, but its the sad truth. It will come right back as soon as you stop doign whatever youre doing. This Mayo thing sounds really good, just dont go crazy with it and i think it could work pretty well. BUT i think its a really bad idea to go straight from "cabbage" to "mayo" cuz after teh cabbage you are supposed to go back to normal for a while cuz the cabage soup diet really twists your diet. But you will do what you want, so go for it, just remember that water weight will NOT stay off.
