All diets work in the same way. If they restrict calories to a point where you are burning more than you eat, you will lose weight. If the diet does this than it will work, if not you will fail. Whether or not a diet is healthy is separate from whether or not it will work. If you severely restrict calories to under 1200 per day, you will lose weight but going this route is very unhealthy so be careful when reading about these diets. Also beware of diets that limit you to one food. Even if you are taking in a good amount of calories, you won't be able to get all the vitamins, nutrients, fat, carbohydrates or protein from just one type of food.

It's feasible, as mentioned above. However, I saw Bob Greene advertise his "diet" on Oprah and it seemed to be a big ad for General Mills products, some of which (like Slim Fast, which I don't think is GM, or the yogurt) I wouldn't consider food. Or, I wondered how it was supposed to be "healthy", like frozen veggies (good) with chemical created suace (bad). Yogurt with high sugar. Okay. They promoted soy milk, but I've heard that 8th Continent soy milk is made from genetically modified soy beans. No thank you. (Silk and the Kroger grocery store brand, the two I buy, are both certified organic and taste much better. I digress.)

To me, it just comes down to eating foods as close to as what God made them, reading labeles and deciding what is best for my baby and me. No ingredients that come from a lab. No high fructose corn syrup, no partially or fully hydrogenated oils, nothing the seems as though it was created in a lab by man, not in/on the earth by God.
