Hey,
Loma Linda diet is actually a vegetarian diet. Which means eat fresh fruit and vegetables. But that doesn’t mean you cannot eat meat- just not red meat; you can eat chicken and fish. Loma Linda Diet is low in fat, but it is very unrealistic for an average person. At least it was for me. It is very restricted, that is why is very hard to follow. Besides every healthy person needs an exercise; Loma Linda Diet doesn’t mention it.

The Loma Linda Diet started by the actual hospital is usually started as liquid only - sometimes it is entirely liquid & protein/vitamin mix only. From the multiple people I've seen on it - it provides great short term results but nothing lasting.

The Loma Linda Diet is a vegetarian diet, but that does not mean eating just fresh fruit and vegetables (salads), it means eating all plant based products, including grains, legumes, nuts, vegetables, and fruits (cooked or fresh) plus the tons of seasonings availble. It really is not restrictive...think of how many different kinds of eatible plants there are--compared to how many different kind of animals we eat!

Anyway, there are a couple of lose weight fast "diets" that Loma Linda also promotes. One is a diet that you start out with liquid protein shakes (as mentioned before). However, there is also the diet that two days out of five you eat only vegetables and then only fruit. Then the other days you add in the others (grains, legumes, nuts products). As mentioned the loose weight fast diets often are only temporary. However, simply changing to a vegetarian diet will cause gradual weight loss and is lasting.

I am actually on the Loma Linda Diet right now. The version that I am on I got from a local radio station. One of the DJ's went on it. If you do a search on the internet for Bryan Cordell's Amazing Diet, that is where I found it. Also, this one allows you to eat beef for 2 days out of the week. You are, supposedly, guarenteed to lose 10-17 pounds in 7 days. The DJ here, I think, lost 21 pounds. It is more of a clensing diet, from what I understood. I hope this helps, and good luck! Razz

i have done the diet in the past with great results. there is confusion to it's origins and why it is called the loma linda diet. the city of loma linda, california is a predominately vegetarian community and is where loma linda university medical center is located. i've been a patient of said hospital twice for child birth and no one knew of the Loma Linda Diet that includes 2 days of beef. the Loma Linda Diet is also known as the cabbage soup diet, though there a several variations. certain foods are eaten on certain days along with the soup till you are full. it is true you can lose up to 17 per week if the diet is strickly followed. i plan on starting it on monday with a co-worker. goodluck!
