Chicken and veggie diet?

will a person lose weight if they go on a chicken and green veggie diet?
Answer:
Most likely they will, if they take in less calories than they burn. However, a person can lose weight eating anything they want, as long as they are taking in less calories than they burn in a day.The diet you mention is greatly lacking in the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy. You need fruits and whole grains. Eating only chicken and green veggies will eventually affect your nerve health, and you may become weak and shaky. You may also be more prone to colds and bruising. And for sure, being a young woman, you will be lacking the calcium you need for good bone health. Add some fruit like oranges and strawberries, some fresh tomatoes and a little olive oil (you need health fats) over whole grain pasta (or try the Barilla Plus which is full of protein and fiber), and some skim milk and yogurt, to your daily diet. Be sure you are exercising also, to help raise your metabolic rate and help you burn calories.

Probably, and they'll lose their health along with it. Weird diets with limited foods don't work.

Yes it is quite possible to lose huge amounts of body fat just eating chicken and green veggies (or any lean meats %26 veggies for that matter). From personal experience the chicken will begin to taste like cardboard if that is all you eat. you will have trouble lasting very long. at about three weeks i was forcing myself to not throw up. I lost 14 lbs though. but i would not eat only these foods mix it up but lean protien and veggies are a great base for any diet. Check out diets at www.bodybuilding.com
don't worry you won't get scary or too bulky eaither just follow a cutting diet

Sure. But you'd also lose weight by eating starving yourself. The point is, that's not healthy. You need ALL food groups in proper portions to lose weight properly and to be healthy. Besdies, once you eat normally again all the weight will come back.
