Answer:
This diet is from the Birmingham Alabama Hospital Cardiac Unit for patients who need to lose lots of weight in a hurry before heart surgery. It is possible to lose up to 40 pounds per month. This diet works on a chemical breakdown and is proven to work. Do not vary or substitute any of the foods. Salt and pepper may be used, but no other seasonings. This diet is to be used 3 days at a time. In 3 days you should lose 10 pounds. After 3 days of dieting you can eat your usual food, but don't over eat. Your stomach has adjusted to the smaller meals.
