James Duncan: How I lost a stone in a week

This is a diet I was handed and told that it was designed to help people crash lose a stone for operations. I tried it and lost 14 lbs, so I’ll pass it along since I can’t find it anywhere else on the net.

Day	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner
1	1 slice dry toast with 1 gilled tomato OR tinned tomatoes	Fresh fruit - any amount	2 hard boiled eggs Salad & grapefruit
2	Grapefruit 1 boiled egg	Grilled chicken with tomatoes Toast	Grilled steak Salad
3	Grapefruit 1 boiled egg	Fresh fruit - any amount	2 grilled lamb chops Salad & grapefruit
4	1 slice dry toast	Fresh fruit - any amount	2 hard boiled eggs Salad & grapefruit
5	1 slice dry toast	Fresh fruit - any amount	Fresh fish Salad
6	1 glass grapefruit juice	Fresh fruit - any amount	Grilled chicken Carrots & grapefruit
7	Scrambled eggs Grilled or tinned tomatoes	2 poached eggs Spinach	Grilled steak Salad

Their Rules

No alcoholic drinks.
Permitted drinks: Black coffee, tea, lemon/grapefruit juice without sugar.
No milk, butter or fats.
NO EATING BETWEEN MEALS
Abstain from all not included in diet. Eat what is shown or go without.
ONLY DIET FOR ONE WEEK IN THREE - TWO WEEKS OFF
No substitutes allowed. The basis of the diet is chemical, not the quantities.
Lunch and dinner may be swapped but only on the same day.
GUARANTEED TO LOSE ONE STONE IN ONE WEEK.

My Tips

The grapefruit sourness is a lot more bearable with pink grapefruit. Also, if you have a sweet tooth normally, bear in mind that grapefruit sweetens a lot in the last stages of ripening.
I am used to eating like a pig, and thus had a lot of “empty stomach - must fill” type feelings. Drinking lots of water filled me up temporarily.
If you are desperate for flavour on some of the blander dishes, add a little lemon juice. On the list of allowed drinks and can pep up things nicely.
If you try the diet and it works for you, leave me a comment. I’m curious to see if it works for other people.

NB: This is not my diet, I merely transcribe; do not sue me if you die - James.

I also note the incredibly long list of comments from the previous location of this page - they are listed below...

I have tried a very similar diet before, though it was a two week one and it seemed to work. Im going to try this diet, today being th efirst day, and will let you know how i get on. I was wondering if you can swap the lamb chops for either chicken or steak?
jaduncan Said,
May 10, 2006 @ 21:12
I don’t know, but I’d imagine so. Looking at the chemical consituents of the diet, anything without fat should work. Remember to keep the portion size similar though.

one more quick question, how much exercise did you do whilst on this diet?

Uh…*coughs*basically none*coughs.
Kenny Said,
May 11, 2006 @ 19:34
WHAT! and you still managed to lose a stone in a week???!!!fair enough, if it worked for you without exercise then well done. On a more personal note, did you do it for simple weight loss or before an operation?
Joe Said,

I’d love to lose a stone in a week, and could probably tough this one out. But, if I may ask, what did you weigh beforehand?
I mean, if you weighed 13 stone beforehand that’s one thing, but if you were 16+ stone that’s quite another..
jaduncan Said,
May 15, 2006 @ 07:36
I was 15.5 stone or so, and I was just doing it to look nicer naked.
joe Said,
May 30, 2006 @ 20:09
I gave it a shot, and probably lost around 6-8 lbs. Not too bad, considering. I started at about 193 lbs.
I started using a calorie tracker online as well, and it looks like this diet really does well for calorie restriction (around 1000-1200kcal/day) If your burning around 3000 kcal/day naturally, you’d expect to lose about 4 lbs/week just from that. So this came out ahead.
What I did find, though, was that it’s not too hard to stick to this one. Good thing I like grapefruit juice…

I tried it and lost 16 pounds in 1 week however I did 1 hour cardio and an hour of weights a day to I was 12.5 stone to start with!

does anyone know why it is advised to only do the diet for a week and have two weeks off? because i would like to do it 2 weeks straight to lose a couple of stones before holiday.
anna Said,
June 25, 2006 @ 18:04
I am planning on losing some weight for holidays as I’m a very very active lady, I do the gym 4 times a week, horseride, dance and swim but a recent injury meant the only excersize i could do was walk my dog and only just. I want to try this diet allthough I am curious as to how easy it is to stick to ?
Also Dave, I’m sure it says one week because It doesn’t contain everything you need to keep your body healthy, or similair so therefore you need to go back to regular diet after a week before u can go again, however it will train you to eat less therefore you won’t eat as much on your weeks off as you would normally.
Dave Said,
June 26, 2006 @ 13:48
well i started my second week in a row yesterday and finish my 2 weeks on saturday. Im going to stick it out and see what happens, then aftrwards just start a new healthier eating regime and exercise regularly. Its going well so far and as long as I keep myself busy I don’t really find it too difficult. I have also found that I feel full very quickly and cannot eat nearly as much as I used to. Only difficult part of the diet is COOKING!!!!!
Sam Said,
June 28, 2006 @ 13:43
WOuld you be able to swap the grapefruit for another fruit, maybe orange, because i dont like it…?
jaduncan Said,
June 29, 2006 @ 00:28
Alledgedly not, though looking at the calorie count, I’d imagine you would actually still lose weight.
If it’s the sourness, try pink grapefruit, they’re sweeter. Still an aquired taste though.
Sam Said,
June 29, 2006 @ 15:03
Oh ok, i have looked on a calorie count website and oranges are nealy double of grapefruit. But i did notice water melon is quite similar. http://www.calorie-count.com I know some people lose weight and you cant tell, but with this can you tell that weight has come off?

Hi, my whole house started this diet today (after a weekend of bbq’s) Has anyone got any ideas for the fresh fish (dont usually eat it but ill give it a try… I do like halibut though and battered cod) also how to cook it? Its going well so far, im a big eater and have had some cravings today, but hopefully theyll pass as i get further into the week…
joe Said,
July 3, 2006 @ 21:27
You can steam or grill the fish easily. Wrap a piece up in aluminum foil, with some chopped garlic, spices, and lemon, and throw it in the oven. It’s a snap. Don’t use oils though.
Salmon, tuna, and swordfish are my favorites.

kayleigh
what is three day version of this diet
Kayleigh Said,
July 6, 2006 @ 18:53
MOTI…
It’s not the same diet, but this one’s also designed for pre-operation weight loss. (It’s much better if u have a sweet tooth though!)
It claims you can lose 10lbs in the three days and i lost six…so its still pretty good. You’re only supposed to do it once a week (3 days on…4 days off)
Hope it’s helpful if you don’t have the willpower to stick to the above one.
I’m on day 2 of the week one and its goin well though.
Day 1
BREAKFAST
Black Coffee or Tea
1/2 Grapefruit or Juice
1 slice of Toast with 1 Tbsp. Peanut Butter
LUNCH
4ozs Tuna
1 slice of Toast
Black Coffee or Tea
DINNER
2 slices of any lean meat (hot or cold)
1 cup Green Beans
4oz Beetroot
1 Apple 4ozs regular Vanilla Ice Cream
Day 2
BREAKFAST
Black Coffee or Tea
1 Egg
1 slice of Toast
1/2 large Banana or 1 small
LUNCH
4ozs Cottage Cheese or Tuna
8 regular crackers (Tuc or Ritz)
Black Coffee or Tea
DINNER
2 Frankfurters (Hot Dog Sausages)
4ozs Broccoli or Cabbage
2oz Carrots
1/2 small Banana + 1 Apple or 1 large banana 4ozs regular Vanilla Ice Cream
Day 3
BREAKFAST
Black Coffee or Tea
5 regular crackers (Tuc or Ritz)
1 oz. Cheddar Cheese
1 Apple
LUNCH
1 Boiled Egg
1 slice of Toast
Black Coffee or Tea
DINNER
4ozs Tuna
1oz Beetroot
4ozs Cauliflower
½ melon (any variety) 4ozs regular Vanilla Ice Cream

The only reason that 3 day diet allows you to lose weight is because caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee and cola, can act as mild diuretics, which means they make the body produce more urine. So in fact, you’re just losing water weight and not actual fat.
jaduncan Said,
July 17, 2006 @ 07:42
Yeah, I’d second that Danni. The thing I liked about the weekly diet is that the weight *stayed* off.

If anyone needs to lose weight mega quick, i did this for 2 weeks (well 3 days left but im on course for the full 2 stone loss).
I ate 1 grapefruit around noon and a packet of prawns in the evening!
Plus i exercised for 2 hours per day. I wouldnt recommend it, but the weight flies off! But you must lift sum weights so you dont lose muscle instead of fat.
Also drink loads of water and try hard not to die. I had to lose two stone for something and had no choice. I was 12 now 10 and a half with 3 days left.
vicki Said,
August 9, 2006 @ 21:30
wow 2 stone? thats right good! but.. it doesnt sound very healthy. cos you need carbs and stuff. but 2 stone.. thats amazing

oh yeah and the diet is complete =) i lost 8 or 9 pounds. i guess i need to excersice more than actually diet

Ellie Said,

Can you use any vegetarian alternatives instead of the meat?…such as fish, tofu or quorn products? Or if not, will it have a big effect on the ammount of weight lost and kept off if you go with anything?

Throwing up? - Weight Loss Forum Said,
September 30, 2006 @ 20:10
[...] Throwing up? Lol, is it such a bad thing to make yourself throw up just once in a while when you over step your daily "allowance" lol. I’m not turning into a Ballemic or whatever they care called but i wouldnt mind doing it sometimes just on those days where i eat too much. Also, i have lost a stone so far right, and about 3 weeks since i started my diet i ate ill guess around 12-1500 cals a day, maybe a bit less. Then later i came across this website: James Duncan’s Web Page � How I Lost A Stone In A Week And i tried it for a while, next time i got on the scales i had lost about 11 lb’s in about 4-5 weeks. I dont know if that lean diet plan helped, or was it that boost you get when you start a diet? __________________ http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt…4fc/weight.png Main Goal: To lose the remaining 1 stone and possibly re-gain at least half of it in the form of muscle.

Hey there. i have searched everywhere on the net for almost an hour on various search engines for this exact diet and only just found it so THANK YOU!!! I deleted it off my coputer before i left wor instead ofsaving it. I only got to day four last time i tried it and didn’t comlee it (made it up to lunch time) and i had lost half a stone by then. It didn’t come straight back on either but i was a bit more careful with my eating habits for a long time afterward. It helps kick start you in to the right sort of regime overall and if you can stik out the seven days, I have no doubt you will acheive your goal. I may post back after COMPLETEING a week! lol

Hello there. My wife and I tried this diet three years ago. My wife did it twice. On the first occasion she managed four days and lost 6 lbs. On the second attempt she managed to complete the week and lost 15 lbs! This motivated me to try it and i managed to lose 12 lbs in one week. The weight did not come back on and i managed to lose several pounds more by implementing sensible eating habits based loosely around eating less, the GI principles and avoiding too many carbs. I was initially 12st 9lbs. After this diet i was 11st 11lbs and went on to get down to 10st 10lbs.
Over the last two years my weight has creaped back up again and I weighed-in this morning at 11st 6lbs. I lost my copy of this diet and was therefore delighted to find it here. I am starting again today and hope to reach 10st 7lbs by this time next week.
By the way, when we did the diet last time my wife insisted that she had read somewhere that no nintake of salt, pepper, vinegar, garlic or any such flavouriings was permitted. This made for some miserable meals i can tell you. I am nmot sure if she is correct. Does anyone know? I would be so grateful for your advise on this one. For now I will assume she was incorrect and will use basic flavourings. Thanks. Rahim (London)

rahim Said,
February 12, 2007 @ 15:29
When i did it last time i did not do any stenuous excersice, just a little more walking than usual. Personally i would not recommend doing two weeks in a row. See what progress you make in a week and after that if you want to lose more weight try again in two or three weeks time. The weight did stay off last time and only started to come back when I began to slip up in my eating habits. Good Luck for the week to come!

Well, I have done this twice, and the first time I had no real seasoning, but the second time I did. There was no real difference (except for sating that need to eat something that isn’t completely bland. I used tobasco and vinegar based flavourings on the basis that it’s chemically similar to other acid based stuff you are allowed such as lemon juice. It’s probably not a great idea to use things that have added sugar etc…but it’s like 800 calories a day, it’s barely managed starvation. You will lose weight.

Hi All. Day One completed. I have stuck to the programme except for a tiny amount of vinegar in the salad this evening and some skimmed milk powder with my tea. I am really pleased to read in the message above that you have tried this before and added some seasoning. That makes things considerably easier.
Does anyone know whether the fruit can be eaten throughout the day or just at the meal times? I imagine meal times only is probably safer!
Additionally, does anyone know if any of the salad and friut items are restricted?
Finally, sorry, i do not know if you can swap beef for the chicken. What I do know is that here in the uk, where we have had an outbreak of Avian Flu this week, the scientists are adamant that there has never been a single case worldwide of anyone catching Bird Flu from EATING an infected animal, so the risk with chicken is minimal.

Hi everyone,

Hi there all. I am just starting day three. I have lost 3 lbs already. It feels like it is getting easier. Yesterday felt really hard and I kept thinking about giving up but today i feel more encouraged and less tired.
Sammi, you can drink grapefruit juice instead of eating grapefruits. I did that last time and lost 12 lbs in a week.
Natasha. Good Luck. As for excercise you cant do too much on this diet as you are not consuming enough calories and may damage your health if you excercise too much. I would advise regular brisk walks, perhaps 30 minutes twice a day. Believe me, if you stick to the diet you WILL shift that weight.
I will keep an eye out for your progress.

hi rahim,
thanks for ur support. its great knowing that everyones doing it together, its definately making it easier for me!
one question- can i eat bananas as part of the fruit section? they re quite filling, but wanted to check before eating one.
keep going guys!

Hi there. I have completed five full days. This morning, the start of day five i weighed in at 11st 1 or 2 lbs. That means i have lost 4 to 5 lbs in as many days.
I have cheated a little bit with skimmed milk in my tea and some vinegar and tabasco dressings to the salad and grilled meat. I also ate 4 lamb chops instead of two. I don’t mind if i don’t lose a whole stone. Last time i lost less than a stone during the diet but was motivated by that weight loss to lose more through healthy eating afterwards.
Natasha, as for bananas, i usually eat one per fruit session. I did that last time as well.
Something i remember from last time is that most of the weight came off right at the end of the diet. I’m hoping the same happens again.
Hope it goes well.

hi Natasha and Paul,
Have you been on the diet a full week yet?
how much weight have you guys lost? Does the diet work? as I need to get my weight down by half a stone before the 23/3 or I can not have an operation to redo a bad scar on my tummy due to MRSA virus so i am desperate to know if this will work.
becky Said,
March 5, 2007 @ 22:08
hi, im going on holiday in 3 months and want to lose about 2 or 3 stone, how long would you recommend i go on this diet for?
natasha Said,
March 6, 2007 @ 09:19
hi guys- first of all im pretty sure it is workin tho i keep breakin it at dinner time so im probs not the best person to ask. all i can say is that i think half a stone by 23rd is very do-able esp. if ya have a bit of weight to lose- do u? the diet is hard and requires lots of planning but i find i9t relatively nutritos. make sure ya drink lots of water tho! very important.
becky- how much do ya weigh now? if ya have 2-3 months i would do it for one week of 2 of the months. make sure ya stick to it to the letter and try drinkin green tea at the same time. if ya havent got much weight to lose ya will be better exercising and perhaps just doing it for the 1 week.
let me know if i can help you further. i fin my diet next mon as paul and i only started yest so ill let ya know how it goes!
best of luck x

Hi Natasha,
I have started the diet today , just had my lunch - banana and a plum,can you have a fruit smootie as well? as it says as much fruit as you want?I am 12 stone and I need to get to 11 st 6 for the 23rd March, my BMI need to be below 26 or I can’t have the op,
Good luck this week, you are a day ahead of me so I will use you and Paul as my motivation…so please keep going for me
Thanks

hey jackie, well done sweetie- start straight away n it ll seem easier, hangin around thinkin about it always makes it harder to start. ya ll find today will prob b the hardest day and maybe day 4 too. i was a good girl today, just had ma chicken and tomatoes! just need to get through the evening!
can i ask- to find your BMI did they measure ya fat percentage or have they figured it out from ya weight and height on a chart? As if they have taken a body fat percentage test, ya shud do some weights to burn the fat fast. however, if it is measured by weight and height then you wud really benefit from some cardio. can u do any exercise with the condition your in may i ask?
hold in anyway, you can do! i’ll b on motivating you lots dont worry x

March 6, 2007 @ 18:39
sorry to be a pain, but does it have to be blk tea? surely one cup of t a day with a little milk wont hurt will it? or will it?
any other tips anyone?

natasha Said,

Hi Natasha,
My BMI was worked out by my weight and height , I have had lots of ops over the last 2 years, due to endometrosis, which had strangled my bowel and I had an emergency op to remove part of my bowel, when I came round, I also had a colostomy, as the surgens thought the tumours were cancer, finally last Jan (06) I had a dual op consisting of a full hystorectomy, my insides cleaned of all endrometriosis and the clostomy reversed-unfortunately I got MRSA and my tummy has been left in a bad way and I am hopefully going in for plastic surgery on the 3rd April, only I was told yesterday, that if I did not get my BMI down to below 26 the op would be cancelled, so you can understand why this diet really has to work for me,
I am exerising at home using a lateral thigh trainer, however I am on medication which keeps the weight on me, since Jan 06 I have put on 2+1/2 stone and gone from a size 12 to a 16+
The weight side does not bother me but I really want the plastic surgery and tummy tuck for my self esteem, as it not a nice sight!
going for my salad now, I have found today quite easy…so far??????
natasha Said,
March 6, 2007 @ 19:18
hi jackie,
wow u poor love, ya have had a really bad time with all this.I can totally see why ya want this to work. i’m sorry that i havent been able to stick to it , as if i had i cud tell ya for def if it works. to b honest im findin it really hard. i understand the principles and even pre-prepare all my food but im a terrible food addict. i’m great till dinner and then i just lose the plot. i’m guna keep tryin tho. ill start again tomorrow cos i realy believe that this diet will work. one thing i’ll def do is keep ya motivated. just make sure ya listen to ya body too- as ya are so fragile make sure that u dont push yaself too far.
haha wat do ya think of the lateral thigh trainer? i have that too but lik my diet i hardly follow the plan. have u found it effective? x
Jackie Said,
March 6, 2007 @ 19:41
I first got the thigh trainer 2 years ago and used it for about a month and I did start to see a difference, but then -I got ill and with all the stomach trouble ,I have not used it, have started using it again after xmas only have not kept it up ,however I am going to use it every day whilst i am on this diet,just to give it a try -
What do you guys put in your salad - I had lettuce, tomato, red pepper, celery,spring onion and beetroot - is this okay???
I have eaten more today than I normally eat - my god chicken and steak tomorrow - are you sure this will help me loose weight?????
Jackie Said,
March 6, 2007 @ 21:05
Hi Karen,
Good Luck tomorrow, I have found today (day one) really easy,
I think that chatting with others on the diet really helps , so keep in touch and speak to you all tomorrow

hey guys,
well it does seem to work! it’s amazing to read what everyone has written,it sees to work for those who can stick to it. I have switched diets today to the fat burning diet:
http://www.slimmingsolutions.co.uk/slimmingblog/?p=29
the reason i have switched is because i exercise 4hrs a day and with working in a nightclub at night (and not stoppin all day!) i found that i needed snacks. this diet is ideal for those who need to eat more frequently and it is also very healthy as there is a great rejuvenation soup and lots of fruit and veg involved. the diet discussed on this forum is fantastic and if you can follow it i think it’ll work- just personally i need more food. however, if this fat burn diet doesnt work ill go back to this.
if anyone has tried the new diet im doin can you pls tell me if it works!
good luck guys, remember it’s all in the mind! make yourselves proud x
Karen Said,
March 7, 2007 @ 14:04
Hi Jackie
didnt manage to start today as its my shopping day today so i thought i would get everything i need tonite and start tomorrow.
How is going for you?
Are you sticking to everything or are you changing things slightly?
Im not sure how i will cope with the drinks, i dont like coffee and i dnt like blk tea or lemon juice really so its just gonna be water which is fine but not for a whole week!!!
becky Said,
March 7, 2007 @ 19:58
is this a diet where you can actually see the difference, because ive been on a few but you cant tell the difference on the outside. All i want is to shift the inches on my jelly belly and to lose my hips, so hs anyone got any other advice because im finding this one really difficult because i dont like grapefruit or eggs

wow I am surving - I am starting day 3 and I have weighed myself this morning and I now weigh 11st 10 I have lost 4 lb in 2 days…..i dont like tea or coffee with out milk but I have found lady grey bearable , but I have mostly been drinking water, not usually a lover of grapefriut, but I bought some red ones from tesco’s and they are quite nice and sweet. try also green tea - it is well known for its weight lose propeties , my sister is trying green tea tablets as they are suposed to shift the weight from your waist line????
I can beleive it - I only need to lose another 4lb and i will be ok to have my op - wow!

Hi All
Just wanted to add my bit
I am on day 7 and boiling up a bit of spinach as we speak.
So far the diet does seem to be working, I have definately lost weight but as I don’t weigh myself I can’t say in pounds, however my jeans are loose now
I will say that this diet is not for those who lack willpower as you can feel quite hungry at times and need to be strict. I found that keeping myself busy and having a chug of grapefruit juice helped to stave off the hunger. I also ate my meals as late as possible…i.e breakfast at 11, lunch at 3 and dinner at 7. Once you pass day 4 you are laughing
Good luck
Jo
I will definately be recommending the diet on my site http://www.ewegotit.com when it is finished :p
Jackie Said,
March 8, 2007 @ 22:10
Have survived another day - day 4 tomorrow, this is the toughy going by what everyone says, the problem with me is I have a party tomorrow night and I will want some alcohol,do you think a couple of glasses of wine or gin and slimline tonic will put all the weight I have already lost back on?
just got weighed and I am 11 st 9 now, which means 5 lb lost already…Think the weekend will be the hardest,
If I break the rules tomorrow night, will I have to start at the begining or just carry on?????????

karen Said,
March 9, 2007 @ 08:35
Hello everyone
Your right Paul crazy people.
This is day two for me, went to bed hungry but woke feeling quite full which is unlike me.(strange) So i am gonna leave breakfast as late as poss.
Had a good day yesterday ate everything i should.
Think today mite be hard as i am going out so i wont be at home to prepare my meals. so not to sure how it is gonna plan out.
Sai - i was probably gonna do the same as u and have just salad, but as i’m only on day 2 i dont know if it will still work or not, i should think so.
Any one doing any exercise? surely we must need to tone up.
Have a good day all.

Hi,

I saw the veg version from RIKKU - would you still lose the same amount as the meat diet? If so then i’ll do the one Rikku sent. Please let me know as i really want to lose weight. Thanks x

March 9, 2007 @ 15:35
Hmmmmm, not a very good day today
i was out shopping through lunch so i had a go-head bar to keep me going, then when i cam home i have had 2 slices of dry toast and tomatoes and a pack of mini chedders.
