I know someone who is on that diet called Beyond Calories! It is a ten day diet. Here is how it is set up. There are four food groups. You eat six meals a day. Here is what the “meals” for Day One are:

• Two foods from group one
• Two foods from group two
• One food from group two AND one food from group four
• Three foods from group three AND one food from group two
• Two foods from group one
• Two foods from group one

This sounds very repetitive, but each group has at least twenty five different choices in it. You also don’t  have to eat the meals in order, you can eat meal five for breakfast and meal three for dinner, or however you please. There is also no portion size. If one of your meals is apples and sea bass, you can have as many apples and as much sea bass as you want. However, you should probably only eat half of what you would normally have because you are now having six meals instead of three.

You can also have drinks throughout the day. You can have any type of diet soda. Coffee as long as it’s traditional and you only use creamer and artificial sweeteners. Iced tea. (Lemon is OK) Water of course, and any other drink with less than ten calories.

The only other rule, is to stay away from the twelve worst foods for you. Here they are:

• Rice
• Pasta
• French Fries
• Real Ice Cream
• Pizza
• Cake
• Pie
• Breaded Meats
• Chocolate
• Excessive Bread
• Cookies
• Pastries

Well that’s all there is to this diet. Pretty simple huh! The person I know that is doing  this is so happy because he has lost ten pounds already and it is only his seventh day! Go him. And the best part, he isn’t even exercising! This diet sounds really cool to me!
