The one day diet promises a two-pound weight loss every diet day, that is every other day. A diet day is followed by a normal eating day. Weight loss is based on a "miracle" product, diet wafers, and eating nothing else but fruit for a day.

Permitted Foods

On diet days only diet wafers and fruit are permitted. The second day all foods are permitted.

One Day Diet Plan

The diet has a very simple plan: one day of dieting, the next day normal eating.

On diet days, one should eat two diet wafers every hour up to a total of 20 per day. During diet days nothing else is allowed but fruit.

Eating only diet wafers and some fruit is meant to induce a hypocaloric effect. Better results are obtained if dieting is combined with mild exercise. Walking will be sufficient.

After exceeding the period of time necessary for the desired weight loss, the dieter should become accustomed to eating less. You can revert to the diet whenever necessary.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

One can lose weight without feeling deprived for a long time.

Disadvantages

The diet enhances artificial weight loss, without improving eating style. That is why all the weight lost is likely to be regained very soon.

Although apparently not restrictive, the diet halves the time when you eat normally and can also result in the lack of necessary nutrients for maintaining health.

Conclusion

The one-day diet promises amazing results, but these come during the diet days. What happens the next day? Probably a one-day deprival will lead to more eating. Almost certainly the weight lost will rapidly return. It is a diet based on very short-term results.
