The Pilot's Diet :
28 Days = Rapid Weight Loss!
The Pilot's Diet is about as retro as they come! This is a drastic diet, reminiscent of the 1980s, that delivers amazing results if you're willing to follow it to a "T"! Developed around the theory of food combinations, the diet claims that it is the chemical reactions from food that are more important than calorie consumption. Don't get excited though...this is definitely a low-calorie diet!
I can't even remember the last time I tried a diet that dictated exactly what had to be eaten at each meal! Directions mandate that there be no substitutions or modifications. This means that if a "small salad" doesn't specify salad dressing, then there is NO salad dressing! If mistakes are made, the dieter must begin again at Day 1. The diet makes outrageous claims for potentially huge drops, but losses of 20-30 pounds in 28 days are not unusual, and in that respect, this rapid weight loss diet lives up to it's hype!
The Pilot's Diet Sample--Day 13:
B-½ orange or ½ grapefruit, 1-2 boiled eggs
L-Grilled meat, tomato, one orange or grapefruit
D-mixture of fresh fruit (orange, cantaloupe, plum, apples, watermelon)

The Pilot's Diet puts an emphasis on protein, but severely limits both carbohydrates and sugar. The first few days were not fun, especially if you're a volume-eater, but I found that around Day 3, it no longer mattered. In fact, I marveled at how much better I felt without that constant feeling of "fullness." Mentally, I was more content, because food was taken out of the equation. I discovered that I could be totally satisfied with much less. I would have to say that the only major drawback to this diet, for me personally, was the social aspect of eating and drinking. My recommendation would be to check your social calendar carefully before you choose your 28 days!
The Pilot's Diet Testimonials:
"It works! But most diets do if you can follow them. Knowing that there is an end helps you to follow this diet; unfortunately depriving yourself makes you want to have every thing you denied yourself. If you can exert self-control during and after this diet, and you only need to lose a few pounds then it is perfect. On the other hand if you have lots of weight to lose this diet is a great jump-start as long as you continue." (Jennifer, Spain)
"I lost 36 pounds in 28 days and never felt better!
(Chris, Virginia)
"I lost 18 pounds in 28 days! It wasn't quite the 30 pounds advertised, but I didn't expect it to be. I can usually lose about 10 pounds on my own in the same time period, so I was pleased. I felt really good (physically) while I was on this diet."
(Gail, Washington)
"In 28 days, I lost 13.5 pounds, and that was after being on a different diet for 5 months! This diet is absolutely a belly reduction diet! I have that Buddha belly shape; smaller legs, but rounded face and belly. By week 2 I noticed belly reduction & by week 3 there was a significant reduction in my neck fat as well. A huge plus on this diet for me, came in the way it effected some of my female-related health issues. THAT was the BEST part of this diet for ME!! (Barbara, Florida)
“ I attempted this diet after a friend of mine started to have remarkable results in a very short time. I was apprehensive at first, as I could not imagine losing twenty to thirty pounds in 28 days. The first week was the most difficult for me as I had to adjust to eating very few calories. After the first week, I quickly got into the rhythm of the diet, and I began to see much quicker results than I had ever seen on any other diet, including Weight Watchers. I lost a total of 13 pounds in 28 days and was very pleased with the results. I recommend this to anyone who wants to “jump-start” a diet, but you have to be willing to follow the diet as it is written with no cheating.” (Marilyn, Chesapeake, VA)
NOTE:Barbara mentioned above about The Pilot's Diet being a "belly-buster" and I would have to absolutely agree with that. I saw faster results in my abdominal area on this diet than on any other I can remember! If belly-fat is your issue, this may be just the diet you've been looking for!
NOTE FROM GAIL: (January 2012)I am on The Pilot's Diet again for the month of January. This time, I made a few minor changes to make the diet more palatable. I will share those modifications at the end of the month, when I can compare weight loss this time to the weight loss I experienced when I followed the diet EXACTLY as written. I can tell you that after 2 weeks I have lost 13 pounds, which makes me happy! More to come...
***I have officially completed my 28 days on The Pilot's Diet and I have lost 20.8 pounds!!! I am thrilled to discover that the minor changes I made did not adversely affect weight loss (I lost 18 pounds the first time). I added fat-free half-n-half to my coffee in the morning, and fat-free Italian salad dressing to my salads. That is all--everything else was by the book! I did exercise this time around, at least 30 minutes, 5-6 days a week, so that may have made up for the modifications. Please know that you will not be successful on this diet if you don't follow it! Some days are tough so you have to be committed! Good luck!!
