Ok so I started the Machinist Diet 5 days ago.
It consists of Insomnia, One apple, One Salad, One cup of coffee, copious amounts of water per day. Also lots of cardio.
So I haven't had any hallucinations yet, but am being told that I should be having them. So if I am would I know?
Aside from the diet insomnia, Is this normal?
You must be hallucinating if you're willingly participating in that diet. Not healthy!
what what WHAT are you doing. stop. please have more variety in your diet and don't eat less than 1200! ignore whoever is giving you this awful advice.
People who follow diets like this have no common sense. I am a registered dietitian and I hate these fad diets that promote food as an enemy. All research shows that people on very low calorie diets (less than 1000) more or less destroy their metabolism which leads to weight regain.
Now, i'm going to go enjoy my salad of whole wheat orzo, roasted chicken, bell peppers on mixed greens and have ONE homemade chocolate chip and almond cookie for dessert!
Don't be surprised if you gain it all back once you end your fast. Please be safe.
I think you are risking hurting your mind and body. Whatever you're after, I think you're probably doing it the wrong way.
alright quick update, its been about two weeks since i started the diet. i have lost 20 pounds and feel pretty good actually. although i am sleeping more than usual but its going well so far.
oh and there has been hallucinations..... in part i dont care to speak om
