how to lose weight according to Sally Kravich (Harper's Bazaar)

1000 calories a day fresh fruit and vegetable diet for up to a week. that means no grain (noooooo!), dairy or protein (NOOOOO!!!)

breakfast
one cup of 3 types of fruit [avoid bananas which are starchy :( ] and a cup of hot water with lemon [add ginger (ewwww!) to clear sinuses and, if desired, a natural sweetener like stevia or honey]

lunch
a large salad with lettuce, celery, cucumber, tomato, a quarter of an avocado, olive oil, lemon and garlic powder. avoid nuts and legumes [such as dried beans and lentils], which contain protein and starch

snack
one or two pieces of fruit. feeling lethargic? take 1000 mcg of vitamin B or add Emer'gen-C to water

dinner
vegetable soup with celery, parsley, onion, garlic, parsnip zucchini and any other vegetables besides corn and potatoes :(. cook as you would a stew, in an organic vegetable broth. make a whole batch that you can store and eat throughout the week. (omgg vegetable stew for the whole week???)

beverage
flat water only (what no sparkling??) as carbonation can lead to bloating. you may (may?) have one cup of coffee so long as you don't add dairy to it.

i don't know abt you, but i'm pretty sure i'd pile on the pounds after such a diet. steak and potatoes would probably look like HEAVEN.
