Has anyone heard of the 18 in 4 diet ??

I asked him why he didn't have a "before" picture on his ad. I haven't gotten a reply yet - been 2 days. I've been trying to find someone that bought it to find out what the food combinations are. I am really skeptical that it could work long term, but even if it took off a few lbs, that would be a good motivational jumpstart.

depends on what your starting weight is - it's a lot of weight in a short period of time...

I'll keep it simple.

I think this is just a bunch of cynical bullshit.

hi all,
i got off to a good start on the diet but as the day went on i got weaker, i had a headach the size of ben navis so i went to bed when i woke i was gagging eating my dinner after dinner my husband came home from work and i felt ill couldnt bear to eat the tea but i was determined to do it as i was eating i got a sudden rush like someone was pulling me over, i went really dizzy and fell over, i can safely say this diet isnt for me which is a shame , so im back on slimming world now i know its not going to fall off like it would have done with this diet but its sure a safer way for me,
feel like a failiur really wanted to lose some quickly,
take care
julie

Hi

I lost 8lb in 4 days and felt great. I never had a lot to lose to start with, roughly a stone to get to my ideal weight for my height so was pleased with that. I am now eating a bowl of cereal in the morning, piece of fruit at lunch and a meal at night and I am losing about 1lb every other day so i am going to keep this up just now. Good luck to all those on the diet!!!

I'm going to be starting this diet next week I have quite a lot of weight to lose (over 100 pounds) so I'm hoping it will be a good kickstart. I will report back when I have finished to let you guys know how I get on.

WannaBeSlimMom · August 7th, 2007, 02:28 PM

I have started this diet only today, i feel the food doesn't give enough energy but just wanted to give it a try, shall keep you all posted ...

WannaBeSlimMom · August 8th, 2007, 10:58 AM

I still feel energetic, have started to crave for things but holding it as I just am determined , food is not really that bad, my doctor said for me to loose 60 pounds which is my goal, i need to limit myself to 1200 cal per day and work out to shed 500 calories, that is how he justified this diet plan is not bad when you are advised not to excercise. Since it is short term i believe it is fine, if this works which i feel and hope it will i plan on continuing it for one more session and get on the maintenance plan and alternate this 2 weeks after i break . Wish me luck and please do not condemn any plan wihtout you guys actually trying it,

I don't feel hungry and although the food is bland I can certainly put up with that for 4 days! So I will post my weight loss at the end of my 4 days and let you know. The guy also does a maintenance plan to follow afterwards with exercise for continued steady weight loss.
I think it's well worth a try as it's only 4 days and he offers a 10 day money back guarantee and payment is taken though pay pal so you are protected and can easily claim funds back if you don't think it was worth it.
Note to Lori Nurse; the diet states specifically NO EXERCISE during the 4 day detox! Only exercise with the maintenance plan

That sure does sound like the owner of the site. I see many of responses like this in forums, a noob joins right after something negative is said and they praise the site and give the poster grief...

C: It's only 27 dollars, and some of you have more than that in weight to lose so quit the insults.
D: I don't know James personally, however, I've just bought the diet last night and today is my first day. Quite frankly, there are diets that I've tried which have surprised me with their results.
E:The diet specifies no exercise, so why are you exercising?
F:If you're a nurse, then why purchase a diet which you claim that you know is unhealthy:
Don't put down something until you try it or don't say anything at all.
I'm not a member but this post came up when I was trying to locate Jame's site this morning and I had to register to say all this.
It is sick to bash individuals hopes by saying these things, unless, you have personally failed at this diet.(excluding the nurse chick, because she was following some other cuckoo diet, who knows)
It's frustrating for ppl who want to lose weight and can't and once they get a shred of hope, to have other ignorant ppl debunk their choices is inhumane.
So what if we fail?
Let us fail! Everything is a learning opportunity.

Good luck to all those who are willing to try it or is presently.
Hopefully I'm lighter in 3days
See ya

James, is that you again??? hahaaha! I think this guy keeps on creating new accounts here to plug his own site..!!

KENKONG · August 9th, 2007, 05:49 AM

so, for those of you on it or that have tried it, what are thoughts and what were the results?

WannaBeSlimMom · August 9th, 2007, 10:30 AM

Hi All
I am on day 3, last evening i was starving, i had to go to bed early just to keep myself away from all the food in my kitchen, but again morning i am back and energetic,
last evening when i weighed myself i had lost 6 pounds, since this is really working and drastically reducing weight, i am planning on getting on James maintenance plan to keep the weight off, as i dont 'believe this will stay off if i don't follow strict diet further.
And I have figured out Salt is the main cause of holding water in our body and diets without or verl little salt should work, for those who dont' believe in this plan or dont want to try it for some reason, you should try lots of veggies and little fruits , but cut down on salt in every other food you eat and ofcourse calories (count, count and count), burn more than you intake and all that hifunda stuff, that should really work, I still have around 55 lbs to loose, so i shouldn't be talking much before i follow these and come back SLIM.

Keep up the spirit, and remember enter anything with good spirit it will work for you, do not worry about the negative comments you read from others, most of htem whom have never even tried and don't dare, self decipline is the only thing which will help you start and stay on such programs, if you lack that please do not attempt and do not hold others by writing bull... about anything.
