The diet works on chemical breakdown and is proven. Do not vary or substitute any of these foods. Salt and pepper may be used, no other seasonings. Where no quantity is given, there are no restrictions, other than common sense. This diet is to be used 3 days at a time.
In 3 days you will lose 10 lbs. After 3 days of dieting you can eat normal food, but do not overdo it. After your 4 days normal eating, start back on your diet. You can lose up to 40 lbs in a month if you stick to it.
This is a safe diet. Remember, do not snack in between meals.
A key to successful dieting is not to reward yourself for every pound you lose.

"Mediterranean" Diet

What is the "Mediterranean" diet? There's no one "Mediterranean" diet. At least 16 countries border the Mediterranean Sea. Diets vary between these countries and also between regions within a country. Many differences in culture, ethnic background, religion, economy and agricultural production result in different diets. But the common Mediterranean dietary pattern has these characteristics: high consumption of fruits, vegetables, bread and other cereals, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds olive oil is an important monounsaturated fat source dairy products, fish and poultry are consumed in low to moderate amounts, and little red meat is eaten eggs are consumed zero to four times a week wine is consumed in low to moderate amounts Does a Mediterranean-style diet follow American Heart Association dietary recommendations? Mediterranean-style diets are often close to our dietary recommendations, but they don’t follow them exactly. In general, the diets of Mediterranean peoples contain a relatively high percentage of calories from fat. This is thought to contribute to the increasing obesity in these countries, which is becoming a concern. People who follow the average Mediterranean diet eat less saturated fat than those who eat the average American diet. In fact, saturated fat consumption is well within our dietary guidelines. More than half the fat calories in a Mediterranean diet come from monounsaturated fats (mainly from olive oil). Monounsaturated fat doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels the way saturated fat does. The incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean countries is lower than in the United States. Death rates are lower, too. But this may not be entirely due to the diet. Lifestyle factors (such as more physical activity and extended social support systems) may also play a part. Before advising people to follow a Mediterranean diet, we need more studies to find out whether the diet itself or other lifestyle factors account for the lower deaths from heart disease.
