I did it a few times. I followed the diet exactly BUT a I allowed myself to double one food item each meal and I allowed diet soda. I lost 3-5 each time but then went back to my regular eating habits pretty soon after. It’s pretty much impossible not to lose weight because you are eating so few calories.

I did it for two weeks and lost about 7 pounds. Then I continued working out and eating healthy and lost a total of 21 pounds. I’m thinking of doing it again when I get back from the country to give myself another boost and lose another 12 pounds. Then I will have reached my goal.

If you are a morning person, I suggest you move some of your meal options to breakfast. Otherwise you are going to be starving all day (and more tempted to sneak a treat.)

No diet, not matter what type, is going to work long term unless you commit to a lifestyle meal system, and some kind of exercise. There are no quick fixes for weight maintenance!

Just little things like cutting your carb intake in half, saving dessert for Shabbos only, and walking around the block a few times, can make a huge difference.
