Description
The hypothesis of this diet is that the body associates calories with flavor and that dieters need to change that association to stop overindulging.
Ease for Dieter*
Hard
- Really need to give up all passion for food
- Very restrictive
- Requires drinking sugar water and olive oil
(*My impression based on my research and how hard I think it would be to maintain for 1, 6, 8, 10, 20 weeks. Your experience may vary.)
Food Emphasis
- Only Bland and blended food
- 300 calories a day from sugar water and light olive oil (taken between meals)
- Sugar water is made with the amount of sugar determined by how many pounds are left to lose.
Maintenance Plan
- Lifetime
Suggested Activity Level
- No Activity Required
