The 10 Day Diet....Has anyone heard of this diet? A co-worker said she tried it and she lost about 21 pounds in less than 3 weeks. I know she did cuz I see her everyday. She really likes this plan and I was wondering if anyone else has heard of it. She said she purchased the book online. Their website www.tendaydiet.com is down right now so I can't get any info there.

Anyone have any input?

TIA

While I've not heard of that particular diet, there have been dozens of diets in the 20+ years I've been aware of diets that make claims of phenomenal losses in a short time. A good many of the diets border on starving your body or triggering water weight loss, but few of them teach a dieter how to eat healthy for life. The result, you've heard the term, is a yo-yo diet, a continuous cycle of dieting and returning to the very habits that got you to the point of dieting in the first place. It'll be interesting to see if your coworker stays her new weight.

There is no one solution for everybody, that's why so many diets abound. I personally favor plans that change the way you eat, making you aware of what's not healthy. Not to say that you fall off on those diets (especially around the holidays), but it's easier to return to them and easier to maintain over the long haul. And regular exercise certainly helps burn the extra pounds.

Stick around. Many of our members have different plans, all which work for them!
