First Phase- Preperation

This phase is 3 days long. Here is what you are required to eat:

Unlimited proteins
unlimited green raw vegetables, except peas
Two eggs or egg substitute per day
1/2 orange in the morning and the other half in the evening
80 oz of water per day
1/4 to 1/2 tsp of Morton Lite Salt

These foods are NOT to be eaten during the preperation phase.
fruit juices, cooked vegetables, bread, mild, cheese, deli meats, peas, pasta, pork, condiments such as mayo, mustard and ketchup.

You can have LIMITED selections in addition to water:
Coffee- 2 cups regular; four cups decaffeinated
Tea- 2 cups regular; 4 cups decaffeinated
Seasonings- Any natural seasonings that do not have salt, they recommended Mrs.Dash
Diet Soda- 2 12oz cans of clear diet soda
Dressings-oil and vinegar or Kraft No-Fat dressings

Remember this is the preparation phase and it is supposed to prepare your body so you can lose weight safer and faster.

Now about the water intake, I have read a TON of reviews from people complaining about the extreme water intake. 80 oz = 10 8oz glasses a day. This sounds pretty intense! ITS NOT! People who complain about this are...silly....It is always been recommended that on a normal diet the average person drink 64oz of water a day. 64 oz = 8 8oz glasses of water! You are only drinking 2 more glasses, so it's nothing to whine about! Plus the liver needs water to metabolize faster.
