Quickest way to lose 10 pounds? Share your gimmick diets …

10/8/2007

JUDDDD, or the Johnson Up Day Down Day Diet. I've been doing it for over 3 months. I lost 9 lbs in the first 3 weeks. I went on to lose another 6 lbs more gradually and have since gained 3 lbs back (I'm on maintenance now, essentially). I do not exercise (injuries).

I was thin to begin with (that 9 lbs was nearly 9% of my starting weight), too.

It's a great diet because it is so very easy. You eat every other day. It can be done different ways, however. For optimal results, eat nothing (no calories) on down days, and stay within 200 cals of your recommended caloric intake (to maintain your current weight) on your up days. I did complete fasting on my down days for the first 6 weeks.

Many people can't fast completely, so for them, you'd do 20-30% (again, of recommended caloric intake to maintain). That ranges from 300-800 calories depending on your starting weight and activity level. I recommend doing shakes or bars on your down days if you suck at calorie counting or are likely to binge.

Now I do about 20% on my down days because I'm happy with the weight I've at. But I tend to eat close to double my recommended calories on up days, because OMG NY FOOD. I'd probably stay at my lower weight or keep losing if I actually ate normally on my up days.

The official website (Dr. Johnson is awesome): johnsonupdaydowndaydiet.

I wrote a whole FAQ on it: community.livejournal.co

Good luck, feel free to ask questions!
