I'm no expert, but I don't really think that it's healthy to switch your diet like that every week. I've read from a lot of fasting experts that it is better for you to do a 3 day fast once every few months because switching back and forth can lead to anorexia. Plus, when you break the fast you have to do it slowly, or it can negate the positive effects. You can't just fast a couple days and then immediately eat pasta. You're supposed to have fresh squeezed fruit/vegetable juice at first and then slowly incorporate raw veggies. After that you can bring back the nuts & grains, and then finally the fish/meat. The weight you lost will probably come back in a day or 2, otherwise.
