Any green or yellow or red vegetables, as much as you can eat. Salad as above Coffee or tea (dressings should be something like Lite Less Oil, Wishbone Classic, Dr. John Vinaigrette - reduced calorie) Bedtime Snack : Tomato juice or skimmed milk 1. At any meal, you MUST EAT UNTIL YOU ARE FULL, until you cannot possibly eat any more. 2. Don't eliminate anything. For example, don't skip the bacon as breakfast or omit the salad at dinner. (THESE BURN FAT) 3. The grapefruit is important because it ACTS AS A CATALYST that starts the fat-burning process. 4. Cut down on coffee. It is thought to effect the insulin balance that hinders the burning up process. Try to limit yourself to one cup at each meal. 5. No eating between meals. If you can eat the combination of foods suggested, until you are stuffed, you won't be hungry between meals. Page 1 6. Note that this diet completely eliminates sugar and starches which form lipoids, and lipoids are what form fat. Fat does not form fat, it helps burn it up, so you can fry your eggs in butter generously, and also on your vegetables. 7. Note that with this "Magic Menu" you can eat what your family eats except desserts, breads and white vegetables. While your family eats these you may have a double or triple helping of meat, salad or vegetables. Eat til you are stuffed, and then force yourself to eat some more. The more you eat of the proper combination the more you lose. 8. You can lose ten pounds in ten days. There will be no weight loss the first four days, but you will suddenly drop five pounds on the fifth day. Thereafter, you lose one pound a day until the tenth day. Then you will lose one-half pound every two days until you get down to your proper weight. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This was being passed around at the office where I work my "normal" bill-paying type job. It looked interesting, so we now list it. If you lose weight following the above diet, we would like to know about it to check on the success of the system.
