Quick Glance View of phase II, VLCD

I use only organic fruits & veggies, free range chicken, grass fed cows, and wild caught fish.

500 calorie diet, otherwise called Very Low Calorie Diet or VLCD. Though it isn't just about counting calories there is a science to this diet. Certain foods interfere though low in calories such as mushrooms or artichokes.

Breakfast: Herbal tea as much as you like. Yerba Mate can help get you going in the morning. Coffee without sugar, only one Tbsp. milk

Lunch: 1) 100 grams of raw beef, chicken breast (only), white fish such as Chilean sea bass, cod, flounder, halibut, roughy, sole, tilapia. Lobster, crab or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking. It must be boiled or grilled without any additional fat including no spray oils. You can use water, lemon juice or broth. NO salmon, ell, tuna, herring are allowed nor turkey breast or any other part of a chicken besides the breast.
2) One type of vegetable only (some people can have a couple and have no problems but others may find themselves on a plateau) includes the following: asparagus, beet greens, cabbage, celery, chard, cucumbers, lettuce (all in the family), onions (those in the family), radishes, spinach, tomatoes.
3) One fruit: an apple (only 1 but any size), grapefruit, orange, strawberries.
4) one breadstick of either grissino or Melba toast.

Dinner: Same as lunch.

Can use juice of 1 lemon per 24 hours to season food and/or all herbs, salt, pepper, vinegar. Garlic ok too but if you are taking homeopathic drops do not use as it will cause to be ineffective.

It is recommended that you drink 8-10 cups of water a day, drink green tea and herbal tea without sugar. You can use stevia and stevia in with flavor. Look for 100% Stevia, I bought some in a bottle that had inulin fiber as the number one ingredient and it tasted bitter. Then I learned I could buy in the bulk 100% though the price looks extremely high it works out to be so much less as you only need a 32nd of an 1/8 of a tsp. I had my husband make me a special mini spoon so I wouldn't over use.

Highly recommended: George Foreman Grill. It zaps any fat out but leaves on awesome flavor and only takes 3-5 mins. to cook meats.
