Okay...I looked up this diet. There is nothing magical about this diet at all. Frankly, it will work-because you are only eating about 1000-1100 calories a day.
1200 is about the lowest one should go per day without supervision of your doctor.
There is nothing about the specific food combination, either. Frankly, it isn't very healthy. ( There are much healthier options than eating saltine crackers, full fat ice cream, hot dogs, etc.) It also isn't very appetizing...I would barf if I had to eat tuna on saltines, or a full cup of cottage cheese for lunch.
This diet has been around FOREVER. Once I looked it up, I remember seeing it stuck to my grandmother's fridge when I was a kid.
