What Is the James Zeta Diet?

The James Zeta Diet, or 18 in 4 diet plan, is a weight loss program claiming that you can lose 18 pounds in 4 days. It is named after its creator, author James Zeta. The diet is controversial due to its extreme weight loss claims.

High Protein, Low Calorie

• The plan is a high protein, low calorie program and includes lots of vegetables and lean protein, along with small amounts of fruit. Exercise is not recommended, as this is such a low calorie diet, that you may feel dizzy or unwell.

Cheap to Follow

• The diet is cheaper than most plans and comes with a money back guarantee. You don't need to buy special foods, bars, shakes, herbs or supplements. Everything can be bought at your local supermarket cheaply.

Unlikely to Work

• This diet is extremely low calorie. Severe calorie restriction can lead to metabolic imbalances if followed for longer than a few days. Most of the weight lost will be water rather than real fat, so any weight lost, will probably return quite quickly.
