30 Days to Clearer Skin and a Thinner Body by Peggy Butler

1. Do not eat after 9 P.M.

2. Eat only when you are hungry. Experts contend that people have a tendency to over eat when they are nervous or depressed. So before you put that slice of pizza in your mouth, make sure you’re really hungry and not just having a bad day.

3. Do not eat in front of the tv or at the computer.

4. Eat smaller portions. You can train yourself to eat less by putting your food on a smaller plate.

5. Weigh yourself daily.

6. Drink plenty of water.

7. If you INSIST on having a snack, reach for something nutritional, such as an apple. Okay, if you’re really hungry, make that two apples.

Breakfast

6 ounces of salmon

1 apple or the fruit of your choice

1 8 0z glass of water

Lunch

Salad (If you must spread on a dressing, make sure it low in fat and calories). Lemon juice is a perfect alternative.

Fruit of your choice

A hamburger without cheese, mayo or mustard is a must have. Moreover, fast food restaurants have an impressive supply of low cal entrees. So what are you waiting for?

1 8oz. Glass of water

Dinner

1 cup of raw strawberries. If you don’t like to eat them in their natural state, sprinkle on a sugar substitute for added flavor; 2 pieces of broiled chicken, 1 cup of beets or string beans; I 8 oz glass of water.

Snack

Although I don’t encourage snacking, I know that everyone reaches a point where they just have to have something to sink their teeth into. For you I recommend:

a sweet, juicy fruit: excellent choice; a peach or orange; 1 cup of Vanilla yogurt sweetened with Aspartame. Believe me when I say it tastes better than regular yogurt, but without the extra calories; or try a saucer of delicious sugar-free ice cream. They come in a variety of flavors; ranging from cherry vanilla to chocolate swirl. There you have it, a diet that promises results if used correctly. Now put down that sandwich, you’re getting mustard all over the keyboard. Say cheese!
