The 48 hour diet? LOL

I saw a commercial for this baby last night. It claims you'll lose 10 pounds over two days.  One woman was saying she needed it so that she could fit into "this slinky black dress." They were touting it as some kind of celebrity diet.

LOL. I don't believe it for a moment. and even if it was true, i'm sure it would be loads of water weight, and massively unhealthy.

opinions?

Well, in 48 hours I suppose you could some really drastic things to yourself to lose 10lbs.  Amoebic dysentery, perhaps.   'Slinky black dress but wearer on a drip'... ain't a good look.  All of these things are the modern version of the old Snake-Oil Peddlar.   To be looked at with wry amusement and for some other poor sap to fork out hard cash for....

I believe the 48 hour diet is technically a juice-fast using their "special" juice. Nothing special about it. You can do the same on your own if you own a juicer. Yes, you will lose mostly water-weight. And you'd have to be pretty overweight to begin with to lose 10 lbs in 2 days I'd imagine. I mean, I am trying to lose 20 lbs total, so I can't see dropping 10 lbs. in 2 days no matter what I eat or don't eat.

Personally, I don't believe juice fasting is unhealthy, I've done fasts before (NOT water only) and felt FANTASTIC while on them.  People have fasted throughout history for many reasons. Realigious, health, lack of food (seriously) and if done intelligently can be a great boost to your health. I know it was mine. But it takes determination to stick to a fast for even a couple days, let alone a couple weeks like most people try to shoot for. Though, once you're past the first few days it's pretty easy I found. You just get bored.

Haha, i remember when my friend and her older sister used to always try these new 72-48 hour diets. "You'll lose 10 lbs in like 2 days. But it really gives you the sh*ts all day."

Oh yeah? THATS WHAT THOSE 10 LBS ARE. LOL

i'm assuming at some point there was a

"results not typical" warning in impossible to read print?
