Another Wacky Diet
This one includes themed days such as "Pineapple day" or "Sesame day" where you eat foods with the same flavor throughout the entire day.
"[The diet is] based on a little-publicized phenomenon called sensory-specific satiety. That is the term used to describe the way food becomes less palatable when enough of it is eaten."
I personally would be willing to try out "Chocolate day." Other than that, you let me know how it goes.

I had read about that one before, and I thought it was interesting, to say the least.
My thought is it would be very effective, because I'm sure after my pineapple juice breakfast, pineapple chicken lunch, and pineapple shrimp dinner, I wouldn't want my carmelized pineapple rings for desert.
Viola! You made me stop eating desert, and probably half of my dinner. Ick.
How many times when we're dieting do we say, "If I have to eat another (whatever), I'm going to hurt somebody"? I don't know how you could stick to a program that requires you to eat the same flavor for every meal. I think it would lead to cheating much more quickly than having variety.
This is really becomig annoying. It's amazing to me that people, including physicians, will take the ordinary, humdrum, boring to the point of wanting to poke out one's eyeballs with one's fork, diet and try to add some bullshit, nonsensical tag to it in order to make it look new and improved. Look at the damned calorie count, for heaven's sake. This is no different than any other dr.'s formula, or w.w., or your mother's tried and true, "Just eat a little less at every meal, dear" remedy for weight problems. Just who is this lunatic, money-grubbing follower of Hippocrates, anyway?
At least he follows the most important rule: "First, do no harm." Then I think he segues over to Barnum's "There's a sucker born every minute."
Gee, do I sound ticked off or what? Didn't mean to be offensive, but I do get tired of the same old tart dressed up in new clothes.
Many doctors and nutrition researchers believe that this is the principle by which all diets which restrict the variety of foods you can eat work (such as, say, South Beach). The fewer types of foods you're allowed to consume, the less appealing food will be, and the fewer calories you'll take in.
I think it's very telling, though, that the results this guy promotes from his diet are a loss of 16 pounds in 12 weeks, because a diet like this might help you lose weight for a few months, but unless you're going to live like that forever, the weight will come back later.
I decided last week that someone needs to start an Alphabet Diet. Each week, you eat foods that only start with a single letter of an alphabet, starting with A.
All I need is one celebrity endorsement and I'm rich. Rich I say!
So the diet is basically designed to make us... hate our food by dinnertime? Pretty much? I just can't see why anyone would do that for more than a punishing, self-loathing week or two. And I've never seen any evidence that taking away someone's enjoyment of food results in actual weight loss -- as Patrick said, it would only encourage the dieter to cheat.
