The Seven Day Diet is a fad that continues to circulate despite being very unbalanced. This diet is a simple 7 day plan that emphasizes a different food group each day. The origin of this diet is unknown.
This diet is nothing short of ridiculous and should not even be considered as a viable option for weight loss. It is very unbalanced and very low in calories. AVOID.
Monday
Eat as much fruit (and juices) as you wish of any fruits, except bananas.
Tuesday
Eat all of the vegetables (and vegetable soup) that you wish.
Wednesday
A combination of Monday & Tuesday (i.e. fruit - except bananas, juices, vegetables, vegetable soups).
Thursday
Eat 5 bananas and drink 5 glasses of whole milk. Some versions say 8 bananas and 4 glass of milk.
Friday
Eat 4 steaks of meat (3 ounces each - beef/chicken/fish) with unlimited green vegetables.
Saturday
Eat 4 steaks of meat (3 ounces each - beef/chicken/fish) with unlimited green vegetables.
Sunday
Eat 4 steaks of meat (3 ounces each - beef/chicken/fish) with unlimited green vegetables.
it dose not sound to bad, but what about exercise
I tried this diet and drank kangen water, it is great i lost 10lbs. And going to do it again. Even though i kind of cheated at the end, I still was satisfied with the results!!!!
If it works. Then may ridicule be layed aside.
I have been on this diet before lost 7 pounds really liked it thank you for your help.
sounds like the cabbage soup diet
I tried this diet twice. First time around it worked nicely and I lost almost 6 pounds. Second time around I passed out on the second day from lack of food. If you try this, make sure you’re eating plenty of whatever it is you’re supposed to be eating.
true story
i have been on this diet many times, but it didnt work. all i did was faint!
I’m going on a more seriouse diet!!!
steph
This diet sounds absolutley ridiculous and sounds like a diet for you to put on weight not loose it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i haven’t done this diet but it looks pretty good i think it might work for me but im kinda scared of doing it because of all the other comments but hey i want to lose weight but i don’t know why im not fat but what ever im gonna do it anyway.
the diet doesn’t sound bad, i think that it is worth a try.
I don’t think that this diet sounds bad. I think that it’s worth a try.
I am on day 2 of the diet atm. I’ll tell you how it goes!
Day 4 just ended. not too bad! haven’t fainted or anything just…toilet alot.
Great!
Ima try this diet cause im 14 and 104 pounds eeewww i have gained 4 pounds & thats not good and i wnna loose it b4 summer bt ima end this diet 2 days in summer bt it looks worth it and i need 2 be @ atleast 99 pounds (Cheerleading Flyer) ill tell u how it goes
It is all water weight you tools! You gain it back and then some after a week. Heres a Diet that works, no more than 1500 calories a day and run 2 miles or walk 3 miles per day and watch the pounds come off AMAZING!!!
This is very interesting, but can I drink coffee(with milk) also?
If yes ,I’ll start tommorow!
Let me know soon,please !
i started this diet today
& i already cheated by eating a cookie. :[
wait…do you have to excersize at all on this diet?
did anyone gain the weight back after doing this diet?
Did this diet and it worked wonderfully. The deal with it is that you have to wait about 2 weeks to do it again if not you will faint the second time around! I have a 3 day chemical break down diet and it also works wonders but always be careful with these fad diets becuase you always have to excercise to see good results.
Life is not about dieting is a way of life. Good luck
I took part in this diet before and i lost 11lbs, this was 2yrs ago and i kept the weight off for 2 years, i need to loose 1 stone fast before my holiday in august so i am going to try the diet again. Today is day 1 so far so good, will let you know in 7 days how i get on. Wish me luck.xxxxxxxxx
I have to lose about 30lbs before i go back to school to be back on the dance team. Hopefully this diet work. I’ll let u guys kno by the end of my summer how it may go. (June 7, 2008)
I too would love to lose 30 pounds by summer end, but honestly this diet sounds like I would be strving myself- I think Jimmy is right- a 1500 calorie per day plus running and walking would do the trick- to mikki- I am curious how you fare on this- I just might try it………
it worked for me!!
yes, this really works i lost almost 10 poound first time around, i had only watermelon for the first day and i lost almost 2.2 pounds on the end of the first day, this is superb, but try to maintain after also with lots on vegetables, fruits and a balance diet few days a week or you will put on again…… good luck i am day 6 after my second time now and almost lost 8.8 pounds. But my list is bit different.

Day 3 - Mix of Day 1 & 2
Day 4 - 6 Bananas + 3 Milk Glasses

did anyone exercise for this diet to work????
When i was 15 I took the 7 day diet and lost 10 pounds in 7days,and i even chested with 1 slice of pizza. this diet worked great for me, im now 21 and since ive gotten married ive only gained weight, i need to put a end to it, at times i feel really bad about how i look and im not happy this way, i have decied to start this diet again tomorrow, it well do wonder. Hope it all works for you guys as it did for me.
Does anyone have the standard nutrition facts on this soup/diet?
Sodium, fat, cholestrol, vitamins, minerals, etc.?
I did a similar diet to this and lost 34 pounds in two weeks, but i wouldn’t advise two weeks back to back as it is hard to maintain.
Regarding the nutritional info for the soup - don’t know it, but I do know that Weight Watchers provides a ‘vegetable soup’ receipe similar to this one and it is worth 0 (zero) points on their program.
I loved this diet when I was on it - and yes I did exercise (walked) and it seem to help with energy levels afterwards as I maintained the walking after the 7 days.
I have decided to try this diet I need to loose 20 lbs. So I may have to try it a second time after a 2 week period. I will let you know what happened.
i am in the middle of this diet and i have to admit. i cheated here n there, not with anything major but with lean chicken! This diet offers NOTHING, no variety in food. who the hell can eat vegetables ALL day long. or fruit for that matter. i might as well fast while being on this. and the soup was like water basically. so pretty much you’re living on liquids and fruit/veges for days. OFCOURSE you’d lose weight, but its only water weight. you’d gain it right back. let’s see how it goes.
I loved this diet i lost 12lbs. and i was super Happy!! Even though i didnt like the soup i still did it. *it took little effort*
I’m on day 4 and have followed it exactly how one should and have hardly lost any weight! Wonder whats going on?
this didn’t work for me cause it’s a waste of time
I have been on this diet before and considerably reduced 5 kgs…
This diet is similar to the cabbage soup diet. I did the cabbage soup diet and lost 12 pounds in 7 days, and like NEVER had any of the cabbage soup, so I would really reccomend it
I came on here to find out how to lose a couple of pounds before a holiday in Spain, but now I feel kind of sick! I mean, dieting as a way of life?! (by Lilly).
Come on, who cares if we are pounds over our “ideal” weight…
It may sound like a crazy idea, but what about being happy with the way we are, and treating our bodies well…for example, if we really do want to lose weight, why not exercise-starting with just a little- and then follow a proper, long term diet that keeps weight off, and leaves you feeling fantastic!
Exercise videos can be very cheap, and the great outdoors is just outside the front door! I know that some people are incredibly busy, and think maybe they dont have time for it, but if they’re willing to put they’re bodies through this diet, I’m sure they have the will power just to find ten minutes a day to run up and down the stairs a few times!
We aren’t stupid, so why do we do stupid things to our bodies, that are clearly stated as harmful? And actually, we’re all amazing…there is no one the same as us in the whole wide world, and maybe we just need to realise how special we are…maybe that will put a few extra pounds into perspective!!
Its a bad idea to do this diet…
Hi,This Is Going To Sound Bad But I Tryed This Diet B4 N I Didnt Enjoy It But I felt Like I Was Loosing Weight By Day 2(Which was Great)But My share Lack Of Dedication n Will Power I Only Lasted Till Day 3….After Reading All This Feedback Im Going to Try it Again!! But I Think I Cant Do It This Time..I WILL DO IT THIS TIME!!!Wish Me Luck I SOOO Need It!!!! :):) && Gud Luck 2 Evry1 Else Doing This Diet!
I tired this diet 4 months ago, i cheated on day 6 and still lost 5 pounds. Since then i’ve been eating like i usually did and still kept off the weight. The only thing is that you HAVE to eat as MUCH as possible during the diet. Even when you feel full, just keep eating what your aloud that day. The more you eat the more you will loose weight with it. It’s flushing your system, so if you don’t eat, don’t expect any results.
i’ll try this diet, im on my after 6 diet but it’s not bad to try another one.
THIS DIET IS DANGEROUS!!! Chels you said you were 104 and wanted to be 99 pounds for cheering, and I understand that. I am a cheerleader as well, even if I am a base, but I am one of the best tumblers on my squad and I need to lose weight in order to be one of the best. I tried this and passed out. All this diet will due is ruin your chances as a cheerleader
I heard it works. I have some friends who did it without exercising. Also, that when you finish it, you have to watch what you eat. Don’t forget that you worked hard to lose all that weight. I will be starting tomorrow and keep you upgraded.
Hey Everyone!
This works great! I lost two pounds on the first day, and a total of 10 after a week. I was very dizzy my first day, because I usually spend around 2 hours in the gym. If you are very active (like work out in a gym etc.) make sure you eat a lot of whatever you eat. The first time you start feeling tired or like you don’t have energy or whatever, eat more of whatever it is you’re eating so you won’t faint. And guys, get at least 2 cups of black (sugar free) coffee in as it speeds up metabolism, and it’s good to get in some caffeine since you don’t eat much.
Good Luck!
i’m going to try this diet, i’m 4′11 and now i weigh 140! and i always weigh 100lbs from age of 15yrs until got 36 yrs of age and start to put on weigh i’m now 39.most of it water. but going to try it this week and let you new week if works for me.and if i loose any pounds.wish me luck. monique
Hiya
I have put on a lot of weight after the birth of my second child. I do know that people advise that this diet is not recommended and that you probably will put all the weight that you lose straight back on again, however I just find the rigid strucure of this diet appealing. I think i might use this diet as a kick start to a more ’sensible’ diet. Perhaps seeing a few pounds coming off in a short space of time might just give me the motivation I need to get rid of this weight. Wish me luck
My husband says this diet works, so i’m on day 1 today and having a serious diet coke withdrawl which doesn’t feel so good. HOWEVER, i will let you know how it goes at the end of the 7 days. We’ll see…..wish me luck!
I did this diet when I looked like I was 3 mos. pregnant and I lost lots of weight. Although, I omitted the milk because I hate milk.
im going to try this i hope it works. i dont like my wieght so i hope it works
This diet really does work you just need to stick to eat and work out. I like to stick to water fruits and veges like watermelon corn cantalope n stuff like that. try it!!
I did this diet and after the 4th day I lost 4 pounds, after the 7th i lost 10, you do feel weak at times but if your looking for quick weight loss plan.. and u have will power then its ok.
I DON’T KNOW IF I SHOULD TRY IT WELL I’M STARTING IN MY OWN DIET WITH FRUIT, VEGGIES, AND CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE ONLY I CAN ONLY DIRNK WATER NO SODA, OR JUICE LET’S SEE HOW I DO
Wow, this diet is ridiculously unbalanced! If anybody keeps it up they’re going to end up with severe health problems.
