Dieting Delilah - I help diet

The urban legend is that the soldiers of the Soviet Union would eat this to stay lean and fit, but that’s highly unlikely.

However this is a good 7 day diet if you just want to quickly get rid of a few pounds, then go back to eating sensibly after a week. Unlike with soup diets, where you can eat as much as you want to, you have to stick to strict rules when following the Russion air force diet. You need to drink 4 glasses of water a day, and you can season your food only with herbs, salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and ketchup.

The Verdict: Don’t go on this diet if you’re going to operate heavy machinery, or need more than 70% of your total brain functioning. You’ll feel hungry most of the day, not to mention in a really crabby mood because you’re not eating anything near a decent meal. However, you will lose a few pounds, so the misery pays off, but don’t expect any drastic changes.

Feedback: “I’m generally happy with my weight but gained five pounds over the holidays and couldn’t fit in my jeans. I just wanted a way of losing it quickly. This worked but it was too complicated—had to weigh everything, segregate my food from my roommate’s. Thank God it only lasted 7 days.” – Patricia, (STATE).
