Instructions

At any meals you may eat until you are full, until you cannot eat any more.
Do not eliminate anything from the diet, especially do not skip bacon at breakfast or omit salads.
It is the combination of foods that burn up the fat.
Grapefruit is what starts the burning up process.
Cut down on coffee.
It affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning up process.
Try to limit to 1 cup at mealtime.
Don’t eat between meals.
If you eat the combination of foods suggested, you will not get hungry.


Notes

Note, the diet completely eliminates sugars and starches, which are lipids and form fat.
Fat does not form fat. It helps burn it.
So, you can fry foods in butter and use butter generously on vegetables.
Do not eat desserts, breads and white vegetables or sweet potatoes.
You may double or triple helpings of meat salad or vegetables.
Eat until you are stuffed, the more you eat the more of the proper combination of foods, the more you will lose.
You can lose 10 pounds in 10 days.
There will be no loss the first 4 days, but you will lose 5 pounds on the fifth day.
