where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
Phases one and two of this plan are very restrictive. Whether or not calcium enables weight loss is a controversial issue in the world of nutrition.
This diet does provide a tremendous amount of useful information that you can incorporate into your everyday life. Particularly useful are the tips for fast food, eating out, lunch dates, and other events outside of the home.
It's a great idea to completely eliminate processed foods and foods containing partially hydrogenated fats, but it may be impractical for most people. This diet may work well for you if you have the Park Avenue mindset and the determination to succeed with weight loss.
If you can stick with this strict regimen, you may look and feel like a million bucks
If you are a meat-and-potatoes eater, you may have a hard time here. And, if you're disgusted by the idea of eating soy or don't like trying foods whose names you can't pronounce, this is not the diet for you. This diet picks up on many new food products and incorporates them into recipes.
Are you allergic to milk or lactose intolerant? You may have some problems on this diet. If you can't consume dairy, the diet recommends high amounts of soy products, green leafy vegetables (like kale and spinach), and fish with soft bones (like sardines). You might not be willing to eat these things. Juice with calcium added could be another source of calcium, but the plan strictly forbids it.
This diet forbids diet sodas. If you have a diet cola habit, you may want to wean yourself from your caffeinated soda dependence before beginning this plan.
