FOP INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY

Stillman’s 14 Day Shape Up –Less restrictive then the Original Stillman diet and the hCG diet protocol.  Can lose up to 25 pounds if followed.  Can keep weight off if you follow up with a long term eating plan.

Stillman Diet –Less restrictive then hCG diet protocol.  Much of the same foods on the hCG diet protocol just more to eat.  Can lose up to 25 pounds if followed.  Can keep weight off if you follow up with a long term eating plan.

Cabbage Soup Diet –Promises 7 pounds in 7 days.  Cabbage Soup Recipe included.  Will gain weight right back.

Turbo Protein Diet– You can lose up to 20 pounds in 2 weeks.  Not an easy diet to stick with.  The basics is drinking protein shakes for 2 weeks 3x a day in specific amounts, then slowly break your shake fast with apples and crackers, then eat ‘normal’ for 2 weeks, then repeat.  The protein mix the author suggest is specific, Almased. You can try others but due to the make up of Almased it is supposed to help with yo-yo dieting. I used SportPharma to me taste good had to make adjustments to get the right protein dosage suggestions.

I used this when I was up a few pounds and wanted to drop them fast and then went back to regular low carb eating plan. YMMV.

Thin So Fast — is by Dr. Eades and you will lose weight fast. Up to 5 pounds a week. The book is hard to find but the synopsis is 4 protein shakes and a meal until you reach your goal. The book gives you instructions on making your own protein powder, but this book is very old so you can buy protein powder mix today. Your meal is specific as it is a low carb diet he suggests you follow during your meal. This is Dr. Eades book pre Protein Power.

Hollywood’s Healthiest Diets –This book is a collection of quick weight loss diets used by Dr. Tony Perrone who is a dietitians to some celebrities to help them lose weight quickly.  The one I found most interesting is for women with a body weight of 125 lbs or more.  You eat 5 meals a day 3 hours apart.  Your 1st 4 meals are a protein shake and your last meal is 1/2 grapefruit 10 raisins and 3 capsules of Total EFA (essential fatty acids).  Reportedly this is the diet Janet Jackson followed a few years ago.  Don’t know for sure.  I will say the book has 10 quick weight lost diets that are really not as dire as the 10 raisins.  Actually they are pretty healthy overall.  Based on a % of carbs, fats and proteins.

The Rice Diet Solution –There use to be another book.  I know I read it back on 1992 and it looks like they have updated it a bit.  Well all I can say is, if you can stand to eat rice all day then this diet is for you.  I lasted 3 weeks and lost 25 lbs and gave up after that.  I will say those 25 pounds stayed off until I went to back to school full time and dealing with home, husband, school and child aka STRESS, gained it back a year later.

The diet was so highly regarding that Duke Medical Center for years was associated with The Rice diet, as of 2002 no more. The Rice House is located in Durham, NC and is medially supervised despite cutting ties with Duke Medical Center. When you go to the Rice House in Durham they have a holistic approach to dieting. Mind, body, emotions, core issues and a house full of support.  Most people who go do keep the weight off because their holistic approach to dieting.

In brief you eat rice and walk. There are phases and specific foods to eat during the phases and even during the rice phase. But I would suggest reading The Rice Diet Solution and visiting the site http://www.ricedietprogram.com/ to learn more.

The Master Cleanse aka The Lemon Aid Diet

3 Quarts of Filtered Water
1 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Cup Grade A Maple Syrup or molasses
3-4 Drops of Cayenne Essential Oil

Shake it up and drink 8-12 glasses a day

Beyonce, yes the singer, used this to lose 20 pounds for her role in as Etta James in Cadilac Records. This is all you drink from what I remember a week or two. Most people do not last 2 days. There is a kit you can get if you want to try it.

The Cookie Diet by Dr. Siegal
He uses a secret blend of amino acids, fiber and other ingredients to make his cookies. Guy Ritchie, Madonna’s ex, used these cookies to drop pounds fast. The basics of the diet is you don’t need to eat anything but the cookies as they are fulling and will curb your appetite.

He has been on countless TV shows and so have his dieters who have lost considerable weight. Dr. Siegal now offers shakes and teas in addition to the cookies he started giving to his patients back in 1975.

Medifast

Medifast has been around for years and it’s another high protein shake diet. They do offer high protein soups and drinks now.

More to come!
