Bottom Line

This is a starvation diet, pure and simple.It could be a few pounds short term, but it will certainly hurt in the long run, and is likely to add pounds off rather than messing with the body's metabolism. What works in the long run is a reasonably balanced diet, based on partial control and moderate exercise.
