Look Great for 2008

First off, some rules:

• Cut out pop, juice, and any drinks that contain a lot of caffeine or sugar.
• Cut out all condiments.
• Cut out white bread and rice, switch to Ramen noodles and sourdough English muffins.
• Cut out red meat and switch to chicken an tuna packed in water.
• Switch from American cheese to low fat string cheese or provolone cheese.
• Buy a safe, natural laxative. Can be found at Swanson Vitamins.

Sample Diet Plan

Breakfast

• 1 English muffin with a little Smart Balance butter
• 1 low fat string cheese
• 16 oz. bottled water

-or-

Fruit smoothie made with your choice of fruit and yogurt.

Lunch: Chicken Stir-fry

Ingredients

• extra virgin olive oil
• 4 oz. diced cubed chicken breast
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 cups fresh chopped mushrooms
• 1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
• 1 cup chopped fresh carrot
• 1 cup chopped fresh cauliflower
• ¼ cup diced onion
• 1 cup diced green, red, and yellow peppers

1. Heat 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil in a wok.
2. Sautee until chicken is done thoroughly. Add only spices that are salt free or natural. I recommend Grill Mates Salt-free Chicken seasoning as well as parsley, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and lemon juice. Set aside.
3. Heat 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil in a wok. Add the vegetables. Sautee over medium heat until vegetables are heated through but not so long the veggies get mushy. I like them to be crunchy. Mix with chicken mixture and heat over low heat until everything is hot.
4. Make 1-2 packages of Ramen noodles without the seasoning. Drain noodles. Put noodles on the plate and top with veggies and chicken. Enjoy.

Mid-Morning and Afternoon Snack

• 1 Granny Smith green apple
• 1 8oz. cup of hot green tea

Green tea has been known the help boost metabolism as well as be a great antioxidant.

Dinner: Tuna Salad

• 2 cups lettuce
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup diced fresh mushrooms
• ¼ cup diced onions
• 6 oz tuna packed in water
• Dressing: ½ cup plain yogurt
• ¼ cup salsa

Mix the amounts until you get your desired taste and consistency. This is a great alternative to ranch dressing.

Enjoy!

I used this diet along with 3 15 minute walks per day and in one week I lost 10 pounds. Don’t forget to get a gentle colon cleanse pill or formula. When radically changing a diet like this you want to make sure that your body is eliminating properly.
