Question:
New to your group, and trying to decide which plan I can use to finally fit back into a lot of my clothes! A friend gave me a copy of a three day cardiac diet, and I would like to know if anyone has tried this one and if and how it works? Thanks in advance for any help, and I hope this has not already been run into the ground before I saw the NG
Answer:
Okay everybody. The cardiac diet is listed below. Save your money. I've had this passed to me from various people trying to lose weight. Does it work? It worked for me. Not ten pounds. Not even five. I lost four pounds in one week. Four pounds of what? I couldn''t even begin to guess but then I'm not overwieght either. I just tried it to shed some holiday binging. My opinion is that this lets people taste healthier foods to 'convince' them that they can survive on something other that whatever is fried or baked. Matt This is what I got: Cardic Unit of the Birmingham Alabama Hospital This diet is from the Birmingham Alabama Hospital Cardiac Unit for patients who need to lose lots of weight in a hurry before heart surgery. It is possible to lose up to 40 pounds per month. This diet works on a chemical breakdown and is proven to work. Do not vary or substitute any of the foods. Salt and pepper may be used, but no other seasonings. This diet is to be used 3 days at a time. In 3 days you should lose 10 pounds. After 3 days of dieting you can eat your usual food, but don't over eat. Your stomach has adjusted to the smaller meals. After 4 days of normal eating, start back on your 3 day diet.
