This diet has easy-to-follow rules and works, allegedly, because it creates a special chemical breakdown within your body. If substitutions are made, however, the special breakdown doesn’t happen and you won’t lose weight. In addition to the strict menu you are allowed to consume:
* Diet soda or tea sweetened with an artificial sweetener * Salt and pepper (no other seasoning) * Stick to this diet for 3 consecutive days each week. * After 3 days eat usual food, but be sure not to over eat. * After 4 days of normal eating, start all over again,
