It's very difficult to lose more than 2lbs of fat weight in a week... anything in excess of 2lbs weight loss a week is either muscle tissue or water (and nothing to be happy with!).

I have a lot of experience helping people lose weight and I can say with confidence that if your weight loss is greater than 2lbs per week you're destined to regain it and more.

Hi everyone,

Here's my take on the 11 days diet.

I'm sure most of us who had done our research on weight loss will know the following:

Metabolism determines how much weight we lose
Cutting back on food intake slows down metabolism
Certain food uses more calories to digest

It is counter intuitive to eat more to lose weight, I know. But it does work. Your metabolism goes up when your body does work, Exercise as we know is one way to make the body work. Now consider this, your body is actually more hardworking than your 7-11. It is working round the clock doing 'work' like breathing, pumping blood with your heart, making your hair and nails grow etc.

Back to the diet plan, I know that there will always be a million and one ways to lose weight if you were to go D-I-Y. You do the research, plan the meals, plan the exercises you do. While that is all well and good, we do have to realize that not everyone has the luxury of time, or want to spend that effort to do that.

For people in this category, this would be the perfect solution. Select foods you like, *click* and the menu is planned for 11 days.

I'm currently on this diet and it has worked wonders for me. Not exactly 9lbs every 11 days but close enough and steady progress. Will be glad to offer any assistance if you can post your queries here.

Cheers

But, I paid only 39.00 for it. I promise you. It works....where nothing else for me has. I weighed 136 when I started and afte 11 days....didn't lose 11 lbs, but did lose 7. And going from 136 to 129.....I'm ecstatic. It has also worked for my niece, sister and friend. It's easy to do. The only problem my friend and I have with it is the prepartion of foods. We're both flight attendants and packing enough food for a 3 day trip makes it a little harder for us....however, on the days when I'm home...it's a piece of cake...(or a piece of fruit). What I like about this diet as opposed to other low carb diets is that they insist on lots of fruits. Most low carb diets severely limit fruits if allowed to eat them at all. Please give it a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Even up to 100 lbs. Wow doesnt that seem like it is magic. Has anyone heard of such a thing and is it safe. Has anyone had good results with it what if anything are the pitfalls of this system, other than spending your money on their diet and maybe it not work? I am all ears.

Stop looking for that magic quick weight loss plan. It doesn't exist. All you see on the internet is scam.

I understand that lifestyle change is important and we all need to get healthier in our food and portion choices. But when you find yourself overweight and frustrated with all the diet choices and ways to slim down, it is important that you do something that actually works for you, personally. No matter how great something is, if you cannot stick to it, of what worth is it to you?

I gained around 40 pounds over two years, and finally I was discovered to have hypothyroidism. While I was ecstatic to find the cause, get medications that got my thyroid under control, and no longer pack on the pounds, I was still faced with the tedious task of finding some way to lose the excess.

I have a problem sticking to a plan that is not spelled out for me. I came across the 11 day diet (actually my boyfriend did) and it sounded like something that I could do. Since I was able to choose the foods I wanted from a list they prepared, that worked for me! And the fact that you get to generate the diet online and print it out so meals are planned out for you, it took all the brain work and frustration out of dieting.

I just finished my first 11 days yesterday and I lost a total of 8 pounds. I think that is pretty amazing. I was very disciplined, and stuck to the diet exactly, except for 4 glasses of wine over the 11 days. As a matter of fact, I only had 1/2 to 3/4 of a glass and topped it off with a little bit of diet 7up to make a cooler, and make my drink go farther. That was my little treat every other couple of days or so, while on the diet. Other than that, I stuck to it religiously. I made my food appetizing so it would not be blah, but I stuck within the realm of what was allowed.

I feel great about the weight loss and very hopeful for the next sets of 11 days. While I am on my 3 day break, I am still sticking to smaller portions where I am satisfied but not full, and eating 4+ meals. I am going to eat things I have missed while on the diet, but I am not going to go crazy and ruin what I have done these past 11 days. I am going to eat different foods, though, so I do not get stuck on the same foods from the diet.

I don't think you can say that is a bad thing. I have hope now and I am inspired to lose more. Seeing this type of result encourages me to keep going. Even if I only lose half as much next 11 days, that is still better than gaining weight or staying the same. And the time period in which it is lost is not long, so you don't feel like it is going to be forever until you feel a change. Those are the things that discourage people and why diets often fail.
The other thing I wanted to point out is that I did this with no exercise at all, due to a knee injury. I can only imagine how much better this would be with exercise.

Also the other thing I want to point out is it is important to drink the recommended minimum of 6 glasses of water, and preferably 8-10 glasses. If you sip them throughout the day, it helps you feel full, and you don't eat as much at the meal times.

I don't think you need to pay anything for that plan. Just do it and see what happens. It will take a strong will so if your someone who gives in easily to temptation and binges, you will fail.

I'm not going to sit here and talk to you like your a moron and tell you "rapid weight loss diets don't work". I will say be prepared to suffer.
