And it seems like a pretty well-planned out diet, you know. And very balanced out, too.
And I was reading about it (from other sources) that I should do the diet for three days, and then eat normal for 4 days. BUT, I'm scared that if i start to eat normal, I will go on a binge. And you can easily screw up a week's worth of diet with one binge, because 3500 calories = one pound. Scary, huh?
ANYWAYS, i was thinking, can i just follow this diet? Day after day? Whenever the three days are over, I start over again from the top. Would it be healthy?

Anathemic answered Monday August 25 2008, 3:12 am: Burn off more calories then you intake each week. If you are taking in, for instance 2500 then cut out 500 calories to lose weight. I do believe by burning 500-600 calories off of your normal amount/week will burn approx. 1 pound. So said my nutrition instructor. Diet everyday! Eat healthy, be healthy and exercise. It's a good habit once you get into it and it will most definitely be harder to be in the habit of eating healthy if, for four days of the week, you eat poorly. I hope that helps some for you. For some serious hardworking, butt-kicking workouts I'd recommend the P90X. You can check out their website if you want. They are pricey, but good. Cut calories down, eat better and exercise. It's not so bad! =) [ Anathemic's advice column | Ask Anathemic A Question ]

This diet is not recommended and should never be used for more than 3 days. This kind of diet is often used by those who experience “yo-yo” weight - it is not a good habit to get into.
so obviously you shouldnt do it. its not healthy to lose so much weight so quickly. in order to be safe, you should try to lose a pound or two a week.
lovedrugged answered Sunday August 24 2008, 4:53 am: It wouldn't be healthy to do it over and over again. Your body needs a certain amount of different vitamins and essentials everyday. You could however, maintain the outline of the diet, and change a few things and continue on with it. After a couple weeks of this diet though, start to eat a little bit more every day so you don't gain the weight back. Your body won't notice a slight change in your eating habits and you'll continue to lose. Just switch it up and maintain the lower calories.
I can explain in more depth if you'd like, just ask me. It's a little confusing!
