Re: is this safe?

No it's not. You're body will be missing out on a lot of nutrients. I have to lose about 35 lbs. I went veg. last year and because of that it's hard to get a lot of iron rich foods and you miss out on the b vitamins. I have suffered because of it, and now I don't eat a lot of meat, and I can tell I am low on iron and b vitamins. So, I have to add stuff to my diet. At some moments I am so weak, I feel I could pass out. Plus, I was getting all tingly feelings everywhere. So, my advice to you is for breakfast you could do a smoothie with juice and put frozen berries in it and some yogurt (if you like it), then for a mid-afternoon snack you could do fresh fruit and a handful of nuts (if you're not allergic), then for lunch I would eat a decent size salad of raw spinach, romaine lettuce and any raw veggies you like and squeeze lemon over it with some olive oil. You should add a protein to it, such as tuna, chicken, or steak. Then for dinner I would have a salad full of veggies same as lunch if you wanted or you could do it without and then have grilled fish, chicken, lean red meat occasionally, and a steamed veggie. I would add some kind of whole grain like a good whole wheat rice or something or red potatoes. Eating mostly raw veggies and fruits will help detox your body as well. Plus, drink plenty of water through out the day. If you get hungry between meals, drink water or if you need something grab a piece of fruit or raw veggies. Raw Peanut butter is great. Lots of enzymes in there. This has done wonders for me. I have to keep up with adding meat though.

Re: is this safe?

ambb,

If water and fruit will satisfy your appetite and with the "real" dinner will total a lower number of calories then you are eating now, then, of course, you will lose weight.

If your dinner has enough protein, say 40+ grams <a lot for one meal>, and the day's total is over 1200 calories, you should have no nutritional probems.
Maybe an egg in the morning or some canned tuna fish at lunch might make the protein requirement easier to satisfy. A multivitamin might help cover all the bases just in case.

Re: is this safe?

I have done something pretty similar to this and lost some weight, but I definitely wasn't too thin or anything. I would buy a lot of fresh fruit and would have it for meals but at least one regular, healthy balanced meal each day. I drank pretty much all water. I had things like yogurt to go with it though. I took calcium pills and vitamins as well to make sure I was getting what I needed.

I bet you will put on weight with that idea. Breakfast boosts metabolism and loses weight
