An old colleague did. I didn't notice him losing any weight, however I doubt he was strict with himself.

Good luck.

I've done it in the past, it's effective but as soon as you eat carbs your body goes berserk. You'll regain the weight quicker than you lost it if you're not super careful. Better to cut down on sugar and carbs on a more regular diet. Just my opinion!

Did cambridge in the massive list of all the diets i have tried and failed.

What worked for me - eating less and doing more. I drink more water and less juice/sugary stuff. I very rarely have pop.

On the diets, I would lose a few stone, stop the diet and then gain it all back and more as soon as I stopped.

Now 19 stone later, I do not diet. I drink water before meals, and exercise more. No magic, just hard work, and moderation with food. I don't forbid any foodstuff or food group.

It's like everything else regards diet, you can subscribe to whatever, pay whatever, eliminate whatever...

At the end of the day, it's a numbers game. Are you using less than you are consuming? If yes, you will lose weight. Theres nothing scientific required about it, you just have to actually be arsed to shed the weight.

Having just read about this plan, it's astounding to me that anyone would subscribe. The information, the food, the exercise is all out there for next to nothing.

Sustained weight loss, according to research evidence, comes from both food and exercise changes. Otherwise you just have an increased risk of putting it back on. Yo-yo weight loss and change isn't healthy.

It works great if you stick to it properly and follow the plan for afterwards too. Guys lose weight more quickly on it than women. Good luck!

All diets work, it's the people that fail.

A woman I work with has done it successfully and kept the weight off afterwards. It looked miserable as hell though.

It is a very very hard diet to stick too. Your living on 600 calories a day. Your body at times mainly in the night tends to go hyper and you will find it very hard to sleep. If you stick to it 110% and make it through the 1st 4 days at which point your body goes into ketosis you will be fine. I lost 12lbs my first week. But also as someone has said come off it and you risk putting on double what you lost x

Pretty much this... Genetics have quiet a lot to do with weight too but a magazine add will never tell you that when they can just sell u something just as fast.

Having a quick look at the plan I can't find any information on what the macro nutrient breakdown is just that the maximum cal amount for a day is 1500.

For a guy that's a pretty massive deficit to run especially if you're anything but a sedantry couch potato.

It will work, it will be quite difficult to stick to, and when you stop you will put most of the weight back on.

15,000kcal is not a sustainable diet long term.

600 calories is insane. Also you will most certainly not be going into ketosis at any point on this diet as it had carbs in it

Running ketosis diet on that little calories would be unhealthy as fuck too.

12lb in the first week is about 6 times the "safe limit" and almost all of it will be water and muscle not fat.

I've lost 16 pounds in 4 weeks by simply cutting down on the amount of sweets and chocolates I eat. I've gone from eating 3 or more bars of chocolate every day to just the occasional bit every so often.

No diet, just cutting out the crap.

I would suspect that 99% of people wanting to reduce their weight could find some simple parts of their diets that they know are unhealthy and just swap that bit for something better.

That's interesting, but I can honestly say i've never consistently eaten that much junk on a day. If I do a regular healthy eating plan like slimming world or weight watchers I often don't lose or lose 1/2lb a week. Very disheartening when I know I've done my Damn hardest, and I have so much to lose. Cambridge works for me to lose weight, a healthy lifestyle like slimming world works for me to maintain my weight.

Sorry OP I wasn't criticising your individual efforts, just relaying my own experience.

I do also exercise at 4 or 5 days a week and have done for many years.

im not a fan of these diets but they can help to kick start and discipline a person so for that they are ok - a friend of mine is a consultant and sort of agrees but has to push the product somewhat -

I'm the same. "Just cut out the crap" presumes a large volume of crap is being eaten to start with. I've done slimming world before and it can work for me but when people turn up with the 10lb first week weight losses I just think what the fuck were they eating before.

Done it years back. Worse thing you could do is binge before starting. If you are going to do it I would recommend a couple of weeks of sensible eating before hand. Especially if your going to go on sole source the lowest plan. It can work if you follow the after plan exactly, it is very restrictive though and having done it seen many put the weight back on through excessive eating after. It does not teach you to in a eat healthy and long term way.

I know someone who has tried this twice, yes you lose loads of weight fast but they put it all back on.

My advice would be to exercise more and eat the right things, also lay off the booze.

Blame the diet. It's always the diet that makes people fat. People are in no way responsible for what happens to them.
