Picture this eating day...

The alarm sounds...

You wake up and wonder what you'll have today...

You start breakfast with:

4 large, homemade-style pancakes (with eggs and milk)
Pure Maple Syrup
2 Large glasses of Chocolate milk

calories = 1,170

A couple of hours later (before lunch) you decide to eat...

2 Ray's New York Bagels Frozen Everything Bagel - lightly toasted
2 1/2 large, homemade-style pancakes (same as above)
Pure Maple Syrup
2 Large glasses of Chocolate milk
Calories = 1,295

A couple of hours later (after lunch time, but you feel kind of "snacky")...

1 pint of Haagen-Dazs Extra Rich Light Dulce De Leche Caramel

Calories = 880

Several more hours later and you start to ponder what your mid-afternoon snack might be and decide on...

1 scoop of Beverly International Mass Maker protein powder (lots of carbs in this - it's for gaining weight)
1 glass of 2% Reduced Fat Milk
1 serving of Oats

Calories = 550

For dinner you decide on...

2 Ray's New York Bagels Frozen Everything Bagel
2 Large glasses of Chocolate Milk
1 serving of Haagen-Dazs Extra Rich Light Dulce De Leche Caramel

Calories = 980

I save my "dessert" for later on and decide to have...

4 large, homemade-style pancakes (with eggs and milk)
Pure Maple Syrup
1 glass of Low-fat Chocolate Milk

Calories = 900

Before bed I'm feeling a little peckish, so I decide on...

1 Mars, Inc. King Size Snickers Bar
1 serving of Our Family Blueberry Waffles

Calories = 720

Grand total calories for the day = 6,495!

As I drift off to sleep, having had a wonderfully enjoyable day of eating my favorite foods, I remember I'll be checking my skin-fold thickness in the morning to check my bodyfat levels. This morning I measured in at 8 mm on my abdomen skin-fold thickness. I wonder what will happen tomorrow...

As the alarm sounds, I groggily get up out of bed and stumble over to the bathroom and pull out my trusty digital bodyfat calipers.

Pinching the same spot on my stomach I've pinched countless times before, I feel strangely "lean". In fact, it's not such a strange sensation at all, as I've felt it on numerous occasions in the past. It's just that I know what I ate the night before and by all logic I should be feeling quite bloated by all common sense of the "normal" rules of eating.

Looking at the reading (6.5 mm), I smile as I dropped 1.5mm from my reading the morning before, meaning I've lost "even more" bodyfat in the 24 hours since I last measured -- even after eating like a horse the day before.

Do I have a tapeworm?

Is there an alien living inside of me, feeding on every morsel of food passing into my stomach?

Do I have a third leg?

None of the above, my dear friend.

I simply employed a unique, and highly-effective technique that allows me to eat whatever, however, as much as I want, several times per week AND lose fat quicker and easier as a result.

YOU DID NOT MISREAD THIS LAST PART... (So I'll say it again).

You can Lose fat quicker and easier by eating junk food on a regular basis -- but only if you follow my rules of the road.

RULES TO LOSE FAT BY:
1. Start this diet (which, by the way, should be a lifelong diet - and can easily be one as you'll soon see) by going 5 days in a row eating the following general combination of macronutrients: High Protein, Moderate Fat, Low Carbohydrates.

Some of the foods you CANNOT eat during these 5 days are bread (of any kind), milk, fruit, sugar, potatoes (of any kind), rice, pasta, corn, carrots, cereal (of any kind), juices (of any kind). Coffee or tea is fine, you just cannot use real sugar. A sugar substitute is fine. If it comes in a can or packet or box you can't eat it.

What's left?

Fibrous vegetables and hearty salads, meat (beef, chicken, fish, shrimp, turkey, whole eggs, egg substitute - i.e., "egg beaters"), healthy oils (virgin olive oil, flax oil, UDO's choice blended oil - which can be found at your local health food store).

Here's two example meals:

Example Meal 1:
2 1/2 cups of the following mixed vegetables: Brocolli, cauliflower, green beans, sliced zucchini, lima beans (small amount only - remember, only 2 cups TOTAL - this doesn't mean 2 cups of lima beans, which are a bit heavy on the carbs).
8 extra large shrimp
1 tablespoon of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Example Meal 2:
4 ounces of Chicken Breast
Salad that consists of the following:
Raw collard greens (tastes better than it sounds)
Shredded cabbage
Kale (chopped)
Swiss Chard
Tomato
Cucumber
Red/Green Pepper
About 2 cups total of the above combination of hearty salads. Then add, white or apple cider Vinegar and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Traditional breakfast foods are "out the window" on these days (remember, no bread, or pancakes, or waffles, or french toast, etc - save this for your "anything goes" days - stay tuned for details)

You'll eat 4-5 of these meals every day for 5 days.

Then, on the 6th day, you can eat anything you want... and I do mean anything. And in any quantity you desire. For some example meals just go to the top of this article to see what some of my favorite foods are.

On the 7th day you'll go back to eating your "healthy" meals again. But this time you'll only have to eat them for 4 days before you have your "anything goes" day.

If you add intense exercise to the mix, you'll be able to reduce the time period between your "anything goes" day to 3 days.

Give it a try!
