diet 4 idiots - that 11 day diet
Has anyone heard of this or have experience? It claims you can lose 9 lbs in 11 days. You follow a diet for 11 days, then have 3 cheat days, then back on. Someone at work is on it and has lost 15 lbs in like 3 weeks. I am still skeptical, but am not looking for myself, but a friend who is wanting to try it. Just wondering if it is too good to be true.

It varies based on what you choose for foods. Basically you are on a diet for 11 days, then you have 3 cheat days, then back on the diet for 11 days, etc....supposively you eat 4x per day. Of the 11 days, there is one day that is all fruit only and another that is all vegetables. I just am curious if losing weight like that is safe and helpful in the long run. She is dropping weight so fast, but I can't imagine that is healthy or easy to maintain.

I do not know about that diet, but any type of fast weight loss is not effective in the long run. Diets need to be a way of life and most quick fixes can not be sustained long term. JMO.

I agree. You don't go ON a diet, you CHANGE your diet. A diet is like a band-aid. It's a short term fix but changing your diet is a way of life.

Re: diet 4 idiots - that 11 day diet
Thank you - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being a skeptic. My friend at work thinks I'm being over critical of the diet, but I just can't imagine that type of rapid weight loss will be able to be maintained. I must say that I'm impressed she is sticking with it, she typically goes off diets within a few days, but I think the fact that she's losing it so quickly is keeping her motivated and her plan is to lose 40 lbs!
I'm not a dieter so to speak, I am more into working out a lot and cutting portions and it's always seemed to work for me.

It's not healthy. And obviously its not a diet you can stay on forever........she will see once she stops.......it will ALL eventually come back.
Diets like this are good for short term.......NEVER long term and they're not worth it b/c all of it always comes back + extra. Diets like this puts a body in starvation mode......even if its veggies only or fruit only......just b/c its healthy foods........it's not healthy!
