is this a healthy diet??

I know you are supposed to eat 6 small meals a day, but would this benefit?? 3 day diet: day 1 breakfast:1/2 grapefruit, 1 pc toast, 1TBS peanut butter. lunch: 1/2C tuna, 1pc toast dinner: 3oz meat, 1C string beans, 1/2C beets, 1C vanilla ice cream day 2 breakfast: 1 egg, 1pc toast, 1/2 banana lunch: 5 saltine crackers, 1C cottage cheese dinner: 2 hot dogs, 1C broccoli, 1/2C carrots, 1/2 banana, 1/2C vanilla ice cream day 3 breakfast: 5 saltine crackers, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1 small apple lunch: 1 hard boiled egg, 1pc toast dinner: 1C tuna, 1C beets, 1C cauliflower, 1/2 banana, 1/2C vanilla ice cream. You cannot change or vary anything on this diet. You can only use salt and pepper for seasoning. You can drink black coffee or black tea with meals. At all other times it is to be water. You are supposed to follow this plan for 3 days then eat sensibly for 4 days. It says you will lose 10 lbs in a week. I know that is not healthy,,,also that more than likely it is water weight. I have done this diet before. I was considering adding it in here and there to my diet, that is why I want to know if it is actually healthy or not. Thanks in advance.

This isn't a healthy way to trim down,in my opinion. -------------- Whiners play alone...

It wouldn't surprise me if you lost 10lbs in the first week...Bizzare and unhealthy diet IMO!!! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there. -------------- The harder you fall, the higher you bounce
