Shirl, I don't doubt for a minute that you did see results in people following a plan like this faithfully, but I DO doubt seriously that the losses you saw were "solid fat".

The plan IS very low in calories; low enough to ensure a significant loss of both lean mass and water, in addition to fat. To lose 40 lbs of fat in 12 days dieting, you'd need a calorie deficit on each of those 12 days of more than 11,000 calories, which just isn't possible.

Believe me, if there were some magic combination of foods that DID work like this, I'd be the first one to sign up.
