If you follow this diet, you commit to a stric meal regimen that keeps the number of calories consumed per day at very low level. For example, on one day you get to eat three meals but on another you will consume just one meal along with two liquid meals that consist of water, coffee or tea. A typical breakfast is usually a cup of coffee with one sugar cube. Throughout the diet, you drink plenty of water. This diet is high in protein and severely limits some foods, such as dairy, grains and fruits.

So called calorie cycling or calorie-shifting is typical for this diet, when we are alternating low-calorie days with higher-calorie days. This can cause weight loss and change of metabolism rate.

This diet is extremely strict so it may be difficult to follow. The diet plan is not nutritionally balanced as it does not include foods from all of the food groups, including fruits, veggies, lean protein, low-fat dairy, grains and healthy fats. These meal products contain nutrients needed for proper functioning of our body.
