The Plan
A seven- to fourteen-day plan that
clearly outlines the types of foods
to be consumed at three meals each
day. Snacking is not allowed, and
herbal appetite suppressants are
encouraged. Meals consist of fruit,
vegetables, and lean sources of
protein in unlimited amounts.
Pros
You don't have to count calories
or grams of fat and there is no
limit on portion sizes. Weight loss
often occurs rapidly, and you won't
be hungry.
Cons
This plan is dangerously low in
carbohydrate and many vitamins and
minerals. A strict meal plan must
be followed exactly. Herbal appetite
suppressants can be dangerous for
people with heart disease or high
blood pressure and have been linked
to death when used in large amounts
or in conjunction with other stimulants,
such as caffeine.
