48 Hour Diet: A Big Letdown :(

I have not ate for days at a time before, but it was in my younger and more depressed times. The first day did not bother me much but by this afternoon I started to feel somewhat weak and had a gross headache. What the hell is the point of a diet that makes you feel sick and to weak to exercise?

I did the right thing and had a turkey and cheese sandwich :) I occasionally like the feeling of hunger as it lets me know I have needs and that I make choices about many of the things I do.

If I had to relate the effects of this product to anything else I would say it would be like waking up after a few hours of sleep after drinking a half gallon of rum and doing some speed based drugs. I think I actually felt heart and stomache pains on top of the migraine headache. Big thumbs down for me.

I found some other choice reviews here. A couple of my favorites:

I hated this SCAM!!! It was like a juice laxative. The taste became unbarable after 24 hours because It left me so hungry. I spent most of my time on the toliet. I guess i could have spent money at walgreens for laxative and get the same results, And all you could drink was water with this. I lost maybe 5 lbs that was probably all the water i had to drink. They always say you loose water weight first! BIG SCAM!!!


This product can be VERY dangerous, especially if you have low blood presure. I was starting the second day... while showering I passed out cold.


This product does not work! I tried it and I lost about 3 lbs but it was muscle that I lost not fat. I also went out on a date with the guy that does their website and he knows the maker of this product. The maker even said that his product is just concentrated juice. How about that?


Tried it and it worked somewhat. I did the same thing with water, grape juice, and some detox tablets (all cost about $5.00) about a month later and got exactly the same results.


I guess the moral of the story is that the collective unconcience of the internet is often a rather valid opinion. I should have done a bit more research and realized that their Google PageRank of 3 likely meant their product was crap.

This product also reminds me how the word drug is just a label and how many products affect you like a drug even if they are not called a drug.
