I don’t have any time to write, but in order to give people an understanding of the different types of eating patterns that make up the “calorie-shifting” on the Idiot-Proof Diet, I wanted to mention what day 8 consisted of. Here is the description from the diet itself:

Today is a day of VEGETABLES AND SALAD ONLY.
This means that all 4 meals for this day must consist of only VEGETABLES or SALAD and nothing else.

You’ll be eating 4 meals (just like other days), but you must choose foods from the below list only:
# Lettuce
# Tomatoes
# Cucumbers
# Green Beans
# Onions
# Celery
# Carrots
# Pinto Beans
# Sprouts
# Spinach
# Broccoli
# Zucchini
# Squash
# Peppers

You may top each meal with only ONE of the following 2 items (but not both):

1 ounce of Grated Cheese (or)
3 tablespoons of Low-Calorie Salad Dressing

I’ve had three meals of broccoli today because I’m too lazy to make multiple vegetable dishes. I don’t know how much I buy into the “calorie shifting” theory of weight loss, but I can guarantee you that all this broccoli has got me shifting a bunch of calories through my rectum. Oh lordy, lordy.
