If I ate nothing but a bowl of cereal for 2 meals out of the day, I'd certainly lose weight. I think that's all there really is to this "diet." You'd probably be starving the entire time, and gain the weight back as soon as you started eating real food again. I say thumbs down to this one. ;( Sorry you are getting discouraged...
This is the exact same idea as the Slimfast diet. Eat a shake/bowl of cereal/45 jellybeans/2 twinkies for breakfast and lunch and you'll lose weight. The 6 lbs in two weeks that Kellogg's is claiming is pure water weight. Plain and simple. Start eating normally again and you're back at square one.
Undone... I'm probably as obssessive about my weight as you are... :) I went to the doctor recently and she told me the work I need to do at this point is above the neck. Even though I'm not happy with parts of my body, I'm healthy and in good shape. It's ridiculously unfair that I eat so well and exercise like a demon and do not lose weight. However, the older I get, I realize that life isn't about fair. It's about perspective. I don't mean to lecture as I certainly do not always practice what I preach. The superficial monster still visits me often. But I'm working on it. It's a process.... as so many things are.
let me emphasize that i do that fruit detox for one day only! it's not a weight loss diet in that it's not going to make you lose weight to do this for one day. it's more of a detox and a psychological boost to changing your habits. it's intended to get me eating healthy - whole foods, minimal sugar, minimal white flour, etc. - it's not supposed to be a diet in itself.
for me, it doesn't bother me much (that i don't look how i want to look) as long as i feel like i'm on course with my workout plan and my eating. if i start to worry about how i look, i know i'm not taking care of myself the way i want to be, and
I start picking my body apart when I'm trying to avoid thinking about something else that's going on in my life. Like right now, I'm pretty stressed about getting this wedding together, so instead I'm obsessing about how I need bigger boobs. Sigh. ;)

I should have pointed that out--esp. for people who don't read this board daily like I do.

Working hard makes me feel good which makes me feel good about myself.
And, as we said once a long time ago, how happy you are with where you are depends on whether you're there on your way up the scale or down.
