I tried it about years ago. It is extremely hard to stick to. It's very restrictive. SBD is way better, more variety of foods, healthier, and fits in to my lifestyle better. It is the only one that I have managed to stay on this long. The weight comes off slower, but the way I look at it is that it give your skin time to bounce back without leaving signs of you being overweight.  

I have heard of it. I also heard you're going to have major gas pains in the next few days so warn your loved ones. Nothing beats a balanced diet so I'd be hesitant to recommend anything too restrictive. It's not reality and what you really want is to change eating patterns and old ways of thinking. Try it if you want but go back to SB as soon as you can. Just my humble opinion. 

It sounds like you want to drop pounds really quick. You wanted to try a liquid diet not long ago and now the Cabbage diet. :-) This is going to sound ridiculous, but I used to enjoy trying different kinds of weird diets, just to see what all the fuss was about. But roller-coaster style, extreme eating takes a toll on your body and your mood, no matter how much weight you lose. And the weight loss is usually short-lived. I think SBD is definitely the way humans were meant to eat. There's sound, scientific evidence about its health benefits, not to mention the weight loss. And you do lose it pretty quickly at first. We're all here to support your efforts to lose weight, but we're here to help keep each other healthy most of all.
