I have a friend who is probably one of the sportiest guys I know. He's my age and does a lot of working out. He already has a relatively clear six pack. Anyway, he didn't go to the gym for about a month and suddenly started complaining about getting fatter (though he looked no different). His Dad's a doctor and the two of them came up with a diet plan. It consisted of having nothing but water for four days and then for the next three having only small portions of fruits and vegetables, then slowly building it up from there. He says he lost quite seven pounds in just over a week but I dread to think what that did to his health.
