I've followed this diet to lose 10 lbs. in 2 weeks and it really does work, but the trick is keeping the weight off. Before going on vacations I would follow this diet to lose weight before the trip, but if you really want to keep the weight off, the trick is to keep eating healthy after the 2 weeks so you don't quickly gain it all back. Just to warn you, there's a lot of eggs involved, so if you don't like eggs, this may not be your kind of diet.

Your normal diet is supposed to consist of 30% protein, 30% healthy fat (such as avacados, etc.) and 40% carbs. Unlike the Atkins diet, this diet doesn't restrict carbs from your diet, It allows you to eat bread and salad, just without the fatty dressing or butter on them, and it's smaller portions so that your stomach will shrink.

During these 2 weeks, don't drink anything with calories with your meals. I'd suggest water, flavored water, diet iced tea, etc. Also, all meat must be grilled, not fried.

Day 1:

Breakfast- 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast (preferably wheat, since white turns into fat) and a grapefruit

Lunch: Salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and carrots) with no dressing (I sometimes cheat and sprinkle a little vinegar on it for taste)

Dinner: 3 eggs with two pieces of dry toast and salad

Day 2:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit

Lunch: 3 eggs and one piece of dry toast

Dinner: Grilled chicken and salad

Day 3:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit

Lunch: Salad

Dinner: Fish (of your choice) and salad

Day 4:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit

Lunch: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit

Dinner: Steak tips and salad

Day 5:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit.

Lunch: Salad

Dinner: 3 eggs, 2 pieces of dry toast and salad

Day 6:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit

Lunch: Grilled chicken salad

Dinner: Chicken and Vegetable soup (mix fat free chicken broth with grilled chicken, sliced carrots, chopped celery and beans if you desire)

Day 7:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit.

Lunch: 3 eggs, one piece of dry toast and a grapefruit.

Dinner: Fish and salad

Repeat for one week.

I've used a variation of this diet before, eating boiled eggs for breakfast and dinner, with the slower digesting chicken or tuna for lunch. It works great! Thanks for reminding me of it, since I'm contemplating how tight my pants are after what must have been a thousand christmas cookies. and fudge. and brownies. Did I mention the chocolate covered pretzels? All right, so I'm hitting the weights, and using this diet plan again. And drinking water. Lot's and lot's of earth juice.

great hub!

I have tried it a long time ago and I was on it for 30 days. Everyone called me the belsen horror.

Thank you

Read the ingredients on "fat free" anything, including salad dressings. They usually have more sugar than the "regular" and one of the keys to this type of diet is absolutely NO SUGAR. That includes ketchup.

I dont enjoy eggs at all in whatver form, infact am allergic to eggs and for this matter, I see myself missing out on this wonderful approach to weight loss. But I thank you for helping out those grappling with weight loss

Interesting. I suppose for a quick fix this is better than some other options, however it seems like one might hate eggs after completing this. Also, this is not a lot of food for one day, so you're probably just losing weight based on the small amount of consumption and minimal carbs. guess if i ever need to lose a lot in a hurry this would work!

Sounds OK, but I thought that many vitamins are fat soluble only? Meaning, don't you need a touch of extra virgin olive oil on that salad to get the health benefits of all those veggies? I would love to try something like this, except I've got no will power. =( Thanks for the great read! =)

Thanks so much for this! Its exactly what I need! I started following it today, I've got two weddings coming up on March 1st and March 8th and this is perfect.... as long as I can stick to it! I also added cardio at least 4 times a week to it... and I hope to be 125ish by March 1st.... that's 15 lbs for me, but I'm gonna go for it!

What about diet sodas? I know everyone says to stay away from any kind of soda, but I recently just cut out all regular sodas, so I'm drinking diet instead and trying to cut back to only one every other day. Did you drink any diet sodas on this?

I did drink diet soda, but not a lot, I'm not a big soda drinker in general. I usually drank flavored waters or soda water with a splash of cranberry juice and a lime wedge is good too.

It sure does sound like a lot of egg consuming for a weeks worth of food. I need to lose 10 lbs to be at 120, I know summer is right around the corner so im willing to give it a shot. I hope it works, i will definitely write back with results to this diet, thanks, hope it comes in handy.

MD 2 years ago

what type of excersize did you pair with this? and how often?

nk 2 years ago

Question.. do you eat egg whites- or the whole egg including the yolk and if so will it make a difference if i just eat egg whites?.. Also can i snack on anything else during the day like an apple?

rb101182 2 years ago

you can either eggs or egg whites, but egg whites are better for you because they have less cholesterol. as far as exercise goes, I'd recommend eating carbs (bread, salad, etc.) before exercise because you need carbs for energy.

lisa  2 years ago

What if I hate grapefruit, is there a substitution that would fit as well, and can you snack on grapes, blueberries, ect in between meals?

Lydia 20 months ago

So I started this diet 3 days ago to lose weight before I leave for Vegas in 3 weeks. I have followed the diet exactly with the exception that I had an orange yesterday with breakfast instead of the grapefruit. I have put on 2 1/2 lbs. I have been fast walking 30 min every night since I started. I am worried that I will gain weight with this diet and not lose it. I am 23 years old and was 115 lbs and now 117.5. This sort of frustrates me, can anyone tell me if you gain weight before you lose it on this diet, or if I just need to be patient? Thanks

Kiki 20 months ago

Lydia, are you going to be on your period soon? you can gain up to about 5 pounds during menstruation. It will go away once your period is over.

Marcy 20 months ago

Lydia, 115 sounds like a good weight to me. What's your height? I'm not sure if I will try this or not but I do like eggs so it's pretty tempting :)

Seriously?! 13 months ago

Ok Im sorry but i had to comment about the fact that there are so many 14 and 13 year olds in this site commenting about needing to lose weight to look good in a bikini. Are you kiding me? you guys should really be more worried about homework or what friends house your going to have a sleep over in next week. Im 26 years old and i came here to find a way to lose weight fast but im an adult and im at an age where i NEED to worry about my weight. Honestly teenagers should not be worried about this weight thing because you guys can lose the weight 10X faster than use adults. Please enjoy your childhood and sto trying to grow up so fast kids!

OMG 12 months ago

Im with Seriously this is crazy 14 yr olds asking if being 100lbs at the height of 5'9 is normal.. no its not normal ur extremley dangerously under weight.. sounds like u need to gain lots not loose.. and further more be kids and teenagers while u can cuz let me tell ya u will have plenty of time to worry about loosing weight after u grow up and have kids and strugle to keeping the weight off in the middle of the day to day stresses of work kids and paying bills..so go have fun doing what teens do.. because one day u will look back and miss it

Ashley 12 months ago

Im 14yrs old and I desprately need to lose weight fast! If i do this diet for 4 weeks will i lose 20lbs? And i dnt like fish can i substitute fish for chicken?

kepikeps 11 months ago

To Ashley (and any other teen): Honestly at 14 I wouldn't recommend you going to the extreme of this diet but rather use it to help you plan your daily meals instead. Don't stay on this diet for 4 weeks. 2 weeks is all they recommend for this diet for health reasons. It is a very low cal diet and you need the calories to be healthy, expecially at your age. This does work even with variations, such as exchanging fish for chicken. I would recommend grilled foods, veggies, fruits, alot of water, and exersise rather than you using this or any diet. If you haven't, make sure to talk with your parents about healthy meals and about your feelings with your weight. If you have, keep talking with them. Best wishes and stay healthy.

Maybe instead of asking "does this actually work?" you should just try it. Everyone is different and what works for some might not work for others. Its all about eating healthy and setting goals. Stop being lazy and get out and try it or you will never know.

Just wondering because my 11 year old daughter wants to lose weight,and she needs to,is this safe for kids to use? Shes 5'4 and 148lbs I want to get her down to 110 by the end of the year. But she wants to lose it before summer. So I would really appreciate it if you told me the answer! Thank you!!

Voice of Reason 3 weeks ago

This is not a healthy meal plan and it is not healthy to lose weight that quickly. The most you should lose is 2 pounds a week. Shocking your body with little calories for 2 weeks with force it into starvation mode and you will pack the pounds back on after. Unless you are actually eating this way from now on the weight will come back, and this diet is not healthy to maintain over a long period of time.

DON'T DO IT! EAT HEALTHY AND EXERCISE.
