This diet is mostly common sense that if it hadn’t been wrapped up in a “diet” fad people may have continued to ignore. The average person already knows everything that the diet tells you and knows that it is what hey “should” be doing. Eating breakfast, drinking water, actually eating lunch and snack (you should eat every 4 hours to keep your energy up) and not eating dinner 4 hours before sleeping. And lets not forget a good nights rest. Its all common sense. Of course toss in a banana for fiber to help push all the bad stuff your other food leaves behind is a great tip too, oh and the diet also discourages pop,chips,donuts,ice cream and other junk food.

Yes, it is a fad diet. But does it deserve to be called such? Does it not have merit? Does it not have all the “lazy” dieters (such as myself) getting off they’re behinds and doing “something”? Although the diet says that you can eat “whatever you want”, most people on a diet will try to eat healthy and if they mess up and eat a pizza, they won’t feel too bad and quit too early. Also (for emotional support) some web sites suggest that you keep a journal (I keep a blogger), this way you will have a support network of people all doing the same thing, seeing they’re results and knowing you can succeed if only you don’t give in too early. Which i personally believe is the number one killer of diets, giving up too early…

Personally, i think its great Anyways, thats my opinion!

I think if you do the banana in the morning with water then eat sensibly the rest of the day, it has the potential of working. However, I dont believe you can eat pizza and chips the rest of the day and lose weight. Ive eaten a banana with water in the morning then eaten pretty healthy the rest of the day (Im a college student, so its usually rice and beans or an egg sandwich on wheat bread, sometimes a sandwich from Subway) and while I havent dropped ten pounds yet, I feel well throughout the day and my weight has gone down some. Now this doesnt really follow what the diet says, but its worked for me so Ill keep tryin it.

Doh. Back to the Big Mac diet.

it’s no surprise that diets are one of the biggest money spinners in the world, and it’s easy to see why, “eat fruit, drink water” – it’s hardly a revelation is it yet it makes the ones who know how to market it very well off indeed

if you can devise a diet that involves blogging, you’ll be quids in

I totally agree with Tyler. I wonder if we’ll ever get out of this “quick fix” mentality. Who ever invented it was a genius but has made the entire world population semi-stupid

It never ceases to amaze me what people can convince themselves to believe. However, hats off to the marketers who are capitalizing on this opportunity.
