At each meal, you must eat until You are full, until you can't possibly eat more.

Don't eliminate anything. For example, don't skip the bacon at breakfast or omit the salad at dinner. It is this combination of food that burns up the accumulated fat.

The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the fat burning process.

Cut down on coffee. It is thought to affect the insulin balance that hinders the burning up process. Try to limit yourself to one cup each meal.

No eating between meals. If you eat this combination of foods suggested until you are stuffed, you won't be hungry between meals.

Note that this diet completely eliminates sugar and starches which form lipolds and lipolds are what form fat. Fat does not form fat, it helps burn it up -- so you can fry your eggs in butter and use butter generously on your vegetables.

Note that with this "Magic Menu" you can eat what your family eats, except desserts, breads, and white vegetables. While your famiy eats these, you may double or triple helpings of meat, salad, or vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed and then force yourself to eat more. The more you eat of the proper combination, the more you loose.

You can loose 10 lbs. in 10 days. There will be no weight loss the first 4 days, but you will suddenly drop 5 lbs. on the 5th day. Thereafter, you will lose 1 lb. a day until the 10th day. Then you will loose 1 1/2 lb. every 2 days until you eat down to your proper weight.

DISCLAIMER - I checked on the webpage for Mayo Clinic and they do not claim this diet to be one of theirs.
