has anyone heard of the danish diet? it's very effective supposedly... helps you lose around 15-40 pounds in just 13 days!!!!

i don't really believe in these crazy trendy "diets" because although they might be help you lose weight during the duration of the diet, you end up gaining more weight since it's hard to maintain that weight loss. anyways, my aunt gained a few pounds due to stress and what not, and she also had really bad constipation so she decided to go on this so called "danish diet" she heard about from her friends. she didn't expect much going into the diet but she ended up losing 14 pounds, and her son (my cousin, who is kinda chubby) lost 30 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! and my mom's currently doing this diet, and so far, she's lost 8 pounds. and it's only day 6!!

"This diet lasts for 13 days and is tough but efficient. The aim is to change your metabolism which means that after day 13, you can eat normally again without increase weight the next 2 years. It is not a traditional fasting cure. It works even after you finished the diet. If you painstakingly follow the diet you will lose all excess fat, 7 to 20kg. The diet must be followed exactly, so if you during the diet drink a beer, a glass of wine or eat extra food, chewing gum etc, the cure is lost and so is the result. If you do stop it, you can not start again for the next 6 months. It is recommended not to do this more often than once every 2 years. It required quite a bit of planning and to make sure to avoid dinner invitation during these 2 weeks."

what do you guys think about this diet? i'm thinking about going on this diet for the next 13 days. i want to regulate and fasten my metabolism as well as get rid of my constipation hahaha ^^ who wants to join me??!!

[faithpuppy]

It says you must follow the diet exactly? o-o but what if a person doesn't drink coffee?? Good luck to you!

Looks to be a low calorie, and almost no carb diet. Pretty much a crash diet.
It's also trying to use coffee/caffeine as a thermogen. What's so special about it?
This is just extremely low in calories and not healthy. There is no such thing as a miracle diet.

*Note this will probably make your constipation worse as there is a lack of nutrients/minerals.
Your bowel movements = regulated by fibre + vitamins/minerals + water intake.
Also making your metabolism faster than it is = pretty much impossible. Metabolism is a genetic thing.
It can only go so fast from person to person.

[sus]

hmm i dont know how it makes ur metabolism faster...
ur reducing food intake drasticalli
and uur not eating some meals....


if u wanna increase metab
eat every 3 hours *mini meal/snacks*
and exercise!!!!

no pain no gain

[bonitagirlx]

sounds sooooooooooooo frekaing complicated

not good for a college student like me, imho =[

to much stress + too much stuff to buy...

steak?!?!! nuh-uh not with my roommates. they'll eat it all!!!

[deyn]

this will most likely mess up the metabolism. not faster it in any way.
the only way to effectively faster the metabolism in the long term is to get your body moving - whether it's exercise or just more physical activity.

What if I don't drink coffee?

[Honey.bee]

Eh? Coffee + sugar = totally fail. The only reason coffee makes you gain weight is mainly because of the amount of sugar you put. Other seems okay though, they seem like they're in low calories.

[Natavi]

I am gonna try this starting sunday (tomorrow), just to see how it goes =P I wanna lose weight before I go to Paris in a couple of weeks haha

[thua]

When I read "danish diet" in the title, I was fully expecting eating a danish for each meal or something. lol.
That's a diet I wouldn't mind doing...

[christee8876]

of course you're going to lose weight on this diet. you're freaking starving yourself.

once you go back to your regular diet, you'll gain all the weight back in a matter for a couple weeks or months. lose weight the healthy way.
if my opinion, people who go on these crash diets are just too lazy to get off their butt and make a real effort to lose weight.

[SKINNY_GENES]

uh you guys. let's not make any assumptions now. like i mentioned above, i don't believe in fad diets either because i've tried them and i just ended up regaining all the weight i lost doing the diets. HOWEVER, my aunt and cousin have MAINTAINED their weight even after they ended the diet, and that's enough proof for me. don't knock it till you try it.



for those of you starting this diet, keep us updated!! i'm planning on starting it in a few days or so.

*REMINDER: drink lots and lots of water!!! gotta keep your body hydrated!*








GOOD LUCK!!

[jaey]

I don't think it can actually yield a weight loss of 7-20kg. A loss of 1-3kg is more probable. Well, since you are going on the diet... you can be the one to tell us the results.

[Pandaa012]

can you like replace some of the food or not eat it at all? lol

[Meenuh]

Hahah that's what I was thinking.

[hannieoon]

Wow sounds interesting! Let us the know the results right after and maybe a couple of months after the diet (just so we know it isn't a fad/crash diet)

I tried the Lemon/Cayenne pepper diet and completely failed. Hopefully this will be better?

I totally agree. And losing 15-40lbs in such a short period of time is extremely unhealthy

[melty-kiss]

I wonder who came up with this. I mean who sat down and figured this was the right combination, right timing, right quantity, and whatnot. I mean you'd have to go through a lot of trials to get the final procedure that you cannot deviate from in the least.
And do you get to drink water?

But yeah, losing that much weight so quickly is not good.

[ilovethissong]

does this really work? anyone try it nicole (kara) did??

[suzushii]

C'mon people, not another fad diet.

The point is, a fad diet is stupid not because afterwards you gain it back. It's because it's unhealthy and also doesn't DO what it says it does.

If you gain it back on not, depends on how you eat afterwards. If you lose a lot or a little, depends on how much you stand to lose, and how your metabolism is. An obese person can lose 25 pounds in a week, if they make a drastic change of diet and exercise. But a person with a normal weight, would NEVER lose that amount. It's impossible.

calories in, calories out. The ONLY rule of dieting.

You're not going to lose 15 pounds in 2 weeks, unless you burn 3500 calories X 15 OVER your daily food needs.

This diet's principle is simply Atkins plus coffee. Better read the Atkins book and follow that, instead of this. Also, it's BAD Atkins at that. For proper shedding of FAT you need to limit your sugar % to 20 grams or less per day. So no fruit, and bread unless you want to wreck the diet
