Drop diet?!??!

Hi,
anyone know the WW drop diet? does it really work? how long does it last
(I've heard just one week); could it be a good way of getting started? you
know..drop fast a few kilos and get a bit more motivated (and get back at
leat in to 1 pair of jeans....). let me know...and if you think it's worth
it if anyone has it and would be so kind to post it or email it to
me...thanks!!!
Sorry if I have all theese questions, but in my city there is no WW...
thanks...

Never heard of that.. if it has even been part of WW it's not anymore..

Doesn't sound very healthy to me either..

Hi Caistor,

I have never heard of WW drop diet. But I have heard of Quick Start. It
has been so long and I don't remember exactly what it involved. But it
was really just a modified menu of some sort that was designed to let you
drop some weight quickly to help you gain motivation.

From what recall, as an example, each day for a week or two you could have
some fruit, little bread or bread products, and lots of vegetables such as
boiled squash or cabbage mixed with some protein such as weiners (fat free
of course).

I think there are many ways to modify your menu to serve the same purpose,
but I really don't think it's necessary. Follow the program the way it
was designed and I believe that success will be yours. I have lost more
than 82 lbs. now since I joined in January 2004. I know you can do it to.

Regards,
Jerry

There are several "drop diet" hits on Google, but as pertains to Weight
Watchers, I'd say it means "drop the diet and get on with the living"

What I meant was that the "drop diet" is not a way I would want to go. I'm
fine with WW and the lack of the word "diet" in my vocabulary right now.

WEIGHT WATCHERS DROP DIET


Basic fat Burning Soup:

INGREDIENTS:

1 lg. head of cabbage 1 or 2 large cans of tomatoes
2 green peppers 1 bunch of celery
(run through blender) Season with salt, pepper, parsley, etc.
1 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix if desired, or 6 bullion cubes
(beef flavored soup may be used)
6 lg. green onions

Directions:

Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover ½ way with water.
Boil for 10 min. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables
are tender. This soup can be eaten any time of the day. This soup will
not add calories: the more you eat, the more you lose. If eaten alone
for indefinite periods, you will suffer malnutrition. Fill a thermos in
the morning if you will be away during the day.

DAY 1
All fruits except bananas. Your first day eat all the fruits you want
except bananas. Cantaloupes and watermelons are lower in calories than
most fruits the first day. Eat only your soup and fruits on the first
day. Drink unsweetened tea, cranberry juice or water. DAY 2
All vegetables. Eat until stuffed with fresh or cooked vegetables of
your choice. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry
beans, peas, and corn. At dinner time reward yourself with a large
baked potato, buttered. Eat all the soup you want; don't eat fruit.
DAY 3
Mix day one and two. Eat all the soup, fruits, and veggies you want. No
potato. DAY 4
Bananas and skimmed milk. Eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as much
skimmed milk as you can along with your soup. Bananas are high in
calories and carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your
craving sweets.
DAY 5
Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10-20oz of beef and a can of tomatoes
or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes. Try to drink at least 5-8 glasses of
water to wash away the uric acid. Eat your soup at least once this
day. DAY 6
Beef and veggies. Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables
this day. Green leafy vegetables preferred. NO BAKED POTATO. Eat your
soup.
DAY 7
Brown rice, unsweetened juices and vegetables. Again, stuff yourself.
Be sure to eat your soup at least once today.




THE END OF THE SEVENTH DAY, IF YOU HAVE NOT CHEATED YOU WILL FIND THAT
YOU HAVE LOST 10-17 POUNDS. If you lost more than 15 pounds, stay off
the diet for two days before resuming it again from day one. This seven
day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact,
correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and give
you a feeling of well being as never before. After only 7 days of this
process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and possibly 17
pounds and have an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as
you will and feel the difference. This diet is a fast, fat burning diet
and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you take in. It
will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well
being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic
beverages at any time because the removal of fat build-up in your
system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.
Because everyone's digestive system is different, this diet will
affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more
energy, if you didn't cheat. After being on the diet several days,
you will find your bowel movement has changed. Eat a cup of bran and
fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find
that you don't need caffeine after the third day. DEFINITE
NO'NO'S: NO BREAD, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, AND NO CARBONATED
BEVERAGES, NOT EVEN TAB OR OTHER DIET DRINKS...STICK WITH WATER,
UNSWEETENED TEA, BLACK COFFEE, UNSWEETENED FRUIT JUICES, CRANBERRY
JUICE AND SKIMMED MILK (on the day allowed), FRIED FOODS. The basic fat
burning soup can be eaten at anytime, when you feel hungry. Eat all you
wish, as often as you want. This soup will not add calories. The more
you eat, the more you lose. You may eat broiled or baked chicken
instead of beef (absolutely no skin on the chicken). If you prefer,
substitute broiled fish for the beef on one of the beef days. You need
high protein in the beef on the other day. Any prescribed medication
will not hurt you on this diet. Continue this plan as long as you wish
and feel the difference in both mental and physical disposition.

As, I hope, all of you know, this isn't Weight Watchers material.. if it has
ever been, which I doubt, it had long since been revoked..

What a stupidity...

This is dangerous nonsense.
Food combining was debunked years ago. It doesn't work.
losing "10-17 POUNDS" in a week even if it were possible is pointless
- 8-15 pounds of it would be water.

"it will clean your system of impurities"
It will give you the ****s

After being on the diet several days,
you will find your bowel movement has changed.
see my response above...


Any prescribed medication
will not hurt you on this diet.

This is perhaps the most worrying statement! This stement is
irresponsible beyond belief.

Just another troll dropping, Ray.

Only a completely uneducated idiot would think that losing 10 lbs a in week
was healthy or sustainable.
