"The Fad Diet Experience"

"Will fat fad away? Big guy hopes 14-diet plan will be big loser
BY NICOLE CARTER

Dan Radice is the world's faddest man.
The 360-pound Niagara Falls, Ontario, man is trying 14 fad diets in 18 weeks, in hopes of dropping some serious weight.
It's what he calls "The Fad Diet Experience" and it's working - at least the first one did.
"It sounds odd, but I thought, 'Why just do one diet when maybe a better one is made up of lots of them put together?'" said Radice, 30, who is blogging his progress at fatboydiet.wordpress.com."

I just thought this was interesting.

Sounds very interesting and I have to say that he is a braver soul than I could ever be, the lemonade diet ........... NEVER, not for me.

I have decided that what I am doing is not so much a diet as a new way of life for me, because I could do these fad diets and lose weight, but for how long and all the work that would go into it and then go back to eating regularly, no I have made changes to my diet that I can stick to for a lifetime. I am tired of being an unhealthy yo-yo dieter.

But I am interested in which of these plans works, thank God he checked it all out with his Doctor before doing this .............. although I find it very hard to believe that any medical doctor would approve of the lemonade diet.

I didn't read it all yet...I know..I have to wonder if the doctor really did approve it and how long. Personally I am all for the lemonade diet but I count my calories on it and follow the general medical rule of not fasting past 3 days without medical supervision. (why they have those fasting centers for longer detox )

[AbbeysMom]

The lemonade diet is up to a 10 day fast. You start your day when you wake up drinking the salt water flush. I guess that's breakfast.

[SIZE=2]Lemonade Diet Lemonade Recipe:[/SIZE]
2 oz. of fresh squeezed lemon juice (must be fresh squeezed)
2 oz. of maple syrup (must be grade B, organic maple syrup)
1/4 of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper
2 cups of water (spring water or purified water)
Mix all ingredients well.

This makes approximately 20 ounces of lemonade, or two servings.
You will need to drink about 10 servings a day.

Salt Water Flush Recipe:
2 teaspoons salt
1 quart of water
Mix well. Allow at least 30 minutes after drinking before leaving the house. You'll need to be near the bathroom.

I know that I could never do this diet .... maybe for a day or two but after that I wouldn't be able to take it.

I hope this guy knows what he's doing.

LOL! I did like not having to bother with dishes...But I had so much time on my hands. I went with the modified master cleanser version myself sans saltwater flush/senna tea.

[AbbeysMom]

The saltwater sounds like the worst part of this deal, anything that will keep me in the bathroom for 30 minutes after drinking .... not my idea of something that I can do.

Like I said this guy is a brave soul ... it would not be somthing that I could do.

Sounds like another fad diet.

Its as old as the hills, but of course, if you follow it, you will lose. As you are NOT EATING. Problam is when you eat again. You WILL gain.

Wait.... Is it really that simple?

If I don't eat, I lose weight and if I eat, I gain weight?

So should I eat or not?

[nanannie]

Not sure what you mean. The Master Cleanse or Lemonade diet is a form of a fast.
