I get what you're trying to do, javamannen2, but I have to agree with Maeve. Sounds like a recipe for yo-yo dieting and long-term failure. Short term, sure it could work for weight loss, but you're not promoting healthy, regular eating habits. Rather, you're promoting a very unhealthy way of eating that seems to me like it will eventually defeat any weight loss goals. I'm absolutely, 100% convinced that true, long-term weight management is most effectively achieved by permanent diet changes made slowly enough that your body won't freak out and go into yo-yo mode.
