Thanks kitt
I see your point but i havent dieted or exercised in years. I never really had to but i want to get in shape. My eating patterns have always been eratic due to my schedule. I dont have a lot of time to sit down and eat. This plan is good for me because its structured and i feel like having some meat and nuts is better than a bowl of sice or something else full of carbs and fat.
Unfortunatly i used to eat just one large meal a day and some small bits of things in between. I never prepared my meals the night before so there was no other time to eat.
On this diet i feel much healthier and less hungry. It gives me the motivation to drink all the suggested water and exercise every single day.
Maybe its not good for long term but when i stop eating from this diet "word for word" i will still drink all the water, exercise, and try to eat smaller meals throughout the day. I am learning better choices and even if it is a fad diet i think my body will benifit from it and so will my mindset.

I appreciate your words of caution but i am going to see how it goes.

And your right, this diet does not give me the daily nutritional value i should get every day. But the choices they limit us to are way better than the choices i have made in the past. When i made that statement i had fad diets like the grapefruit diet in mind where a lot of the weightloss is starvation and if you did it for a long period of time you would feel sick. I think i could do this for the duration of my weightloss without hurting my body.
