New Diet

I'm going to start a new diet.  I need something to jump start my weight loss.  I know, my doctor said only natural foods, and he chooses to not eat meat from the United States, but I'm giving this a try.  I currently weigh 174 (at 5 ft 5).  I don't look that heavy, though.  I wear a size 12.  I felt my best when I weighed 145, so I could stand to lose about 40 pounds.

I subscribe to Pinterest, and saw this post on it with what they called a military diet.  It says that the military uses it when they have to lose weight fast.  The pinner stated that she had to quit after 2 days because of hypoglycemic issues.  But, here it is:

You follow the following for 3 days, exactly, no substitutes:

Day 1
Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit, 1 slice toast, 2 TBSP peanut butter, coffee or tea
Lunch: 1/2 cup tuna, 1 slice toast, coffee or tea
Dinner: 3 oz any meat, 1 cup green beans, 1/2 banana, 1 small apple, 1 cup vanilla icecream

Day 2
Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 slice toast, 1/2 banana
Lunch: 1 cup cottage cheese (or 1 slice cheddar cheese), 1 hard boiled egg, 5 saltine crackers
Dinner: 2 hotdogs (no buns), 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

Day 3
Breakfast: 5 saltine crackers, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1 small apple
Lunch: 1 hard boiled egg, 1 slice toast
Dinner: 1 cup tuna, 1/2 banana, 1 cup vanilla ice cream

For Days 4-7, eat as normal, but don't over do it.  This is supposed to see a weight loss of 10 pounds during this week.  You supposedly can do this for a month, repeating exactly the pattern, for a total of 40 pounds lost.

We shall see.  I don't recommend anyone doing this without speaking to their doctor.  I, however, being an adult and able to make up my own mind, choose to go get the groceries and do it.  I don't have grapefruit, ice cream, cottage cheese, hot dogs or crackers.  In my case, I have to change the crackers to gluten free ones.  Let's see how it affects the results.  Should I choose to eat regular crackers, I'd be in severe pain and have the Big D.  I'm a celiac and can't eat wheat, barley or rye.
