I have never tried the ABC Diet myself.  I find when I try to follow a strict diet plan with calorie totals like this, I get triggered and my anorexia symptoms flare up severely.  I soon find myself struggling to take in even 150 calories per day.  The ABC Diet is not right for me, but I read countless posts about it every day on the internet, as well as a few posts from people who want to know what the guidelines for the diet are.  Here it is, if you want to try it yourself, or follow along with someone else’s progress–if you know anyone doing this diet plan.

If you have tried the ABC Diet yourself, please share your experiences in the comments for this post.  Tell us how difficult or easy was it for you, and what aspects of the diet did you find most challenging for yourself?  How much weight did you lose?  Were you able to keep the weight off when you returned to your usual eating patterns?
