Are you talking about this?
Doesn't sound like much of a diet, and as it says itself, it a slow process. It prescribes eating your normal food, just making sure you drink enough simple water (2 liters/half a gallon is a bit on the high side especially for a woman but if you lead an active life it can be what your body needs)
No way in hell that you are going to loose 40kg with this in one month.
So are you suggesting something more radical? Drinking only water and no food?
Basically, the only way I can imagine loosing that much weight in so short a time is likely to cause serious harm to your body even to the point of dying.
Eat right, drink right, excersise and no unrealistic goals, that works and nothing else.

Also your body will think it's being starved and cling onto every calorie is has. When you start eating again you will turn it STRAIGHT into fat just in case you start starving again.
If you want to lose weight then eat lots and lots of HEALTHY things and do exercise. Drink more water by all means as it will help flush the fat out as your body breaks it down to use during exercise.
But you have to EAT as well or your body will just break down.
Good Luck!! xx

have you ever heard of starving to death? It takes about 3 weeks of not eating food to die.
Please dont do this. You cannot loose 40kg in a month, im sorry but its not possible.

this is foolish, you should be eating like 6 times a day with portions no bigger than the palm of your hand. plenty of vegetables, fruits and lean protein (turkey, chicken breast, fish) no carbs (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes) and watch how you drop the weight. eat at least every three hours your metabolism will race and you will lose weight
