Answer:
Below is the complete text of the 3-day, or Fax Diet. This post is just an answer to the request, and should not be considered an endorsement of this eating program. ---------- from the Star (tabloid), August 10, 1996: Super Diet That's Sweeping America--Lose 40 lbs in Four Weeks . . . it works even better than the cabbage soup diet It's the diet that's taking america by storm. Call it the fax diet, or the ice cream diet...or just the miracle diet. Copies of the simple plan have been passed with electronic speed from house to house and office to office. And what's more you have to go on the diet for only three days--and then revert to normal, sensible eating for four days, before tackling it again. It's really miraculous, says New York housewife Jeanette Luba. I lost 10 lbs in just three days. Dietitians STAR spoke to say they have no idea where the diet originated, but they agree that it's not only faster than the cabbage soup diet that swept the country earlier this year--it's a lot healthier. The miracle diet works on the chemical breakdown of certain foods on the body. It delivers an average of 1,000 calories per day. Remember to follow these guidelines: 1. Consult your doctor before starting a diet. 2. Do not skip meals. 3. Drink 4-8 i oz. glasses of water daily. 4. Do not add fats when preparing food. 5. This diet should be used for three days--followed by four days of normal eating. You can lose 40 lbs. a month if you stick to it. Day 1 Breakfast: Half grapefurit, 1 slice toast, 2 tbs. peanut butter, black coffee or tea. Lunch: half cup tuna, plain, 1 slice toast, black coffee or tea. Dinner: 3 slices of any meat (4 to 6 oz. before cooking), 1 cup string beans, 1 cup beets, 1 small apple, 1 cup vanilla ice cream (Must be Healthy Choice or any other low-fat ice cream) Day 2 Breakfast: 1 egg, half banana, 1 slice toast, black coffee or tea.
