Basically you eat mostly:

PROTEIN = meat, fowl, fish, eggs and limited amts of cheese (I think 3 oz. or something?)

CARBS = limit to 20 grams and only 3 cups salad vegetables each day and

FATS = like some butter, olive oils, fish oils, mayonnaise (don't go overboard), sour cream (some) basically any that aren't unhealthy. Don't go crazy with fats, just eat normal amounts.

I eat until I'm full (which at first is a lot, but your appetite will decrease quickly)

DO THIS FOR 2 WEEKS which is called Induction. You will lose a lot the first 2 weeks. Then add 5 grams carbs/day the 3rd week, then 5 more the 4th week and so on until you stop losing weight. Then back off on the carbs a little until you lose slowly.

ALSO take multi-vitamins and supplements during Induction or you'll feel like CRUD! This is required in the BOOK.

I WOULD RECOMMEND BUYING THE BOOK... There's too much information to write it all here, but this is the basic gist of it.

I hope this helps, write if you have more questions and I'll try to answer them.

I have lost 17 lbs total so far. I stopped then started again last Thurs. and lost 8 lbs since 12 days ago. I really like this diet because I have very few cravings and am rarely hungry. Good luck!
