Part Three of
The 2004 Multi-Diet
by Anderson A. Anonymous, M.D., Ph.D.
The
“Jump-Start”
The Multi-Diet “jump start” is a simple, powerful, special meal plan that quickly
“jump-starts” either a new diet or an ongoing diet that’s gotten “stalled” for any
reason. This meal plan provides a large quantity of food, larger-than-normal amounts
of all the necessary hunger-stopping nutrients, and only about 1500 Calories per
day.
This meal plan can be used like an ordinary meal plan, but it also has a special
purpose, which makes it the most important of all the meal plans and is why we list
it first.
It’s special because it’s the “emergency” meal plan. This is the one you
use whenever you find you are “losing control” of food because of “time pressures” or life’s
other distractions. This is how you get back on track fast.
Time and distractions are things that often cause you to slowly lose
focus and eventually slip off the Multi-Diet and on to the Liar’s Diet.
(See page 55.) You lose control of food from time to time (on any diet)
simply because you get too busy think about planning meals properly—or
because you occasionally don’t have the time or the interest to prepare what you should—or because you don’t have the right ingredients
on hand when you need them—or whatever. So you eat things “just because they’re
there” instead of what you should eat—and these things almost always give you too
many Calories and almost never give you enough of what you really need to control
hunger. This can go on for days with you being only vaguely aware that it’s even
happening.
When it does happen, there’s no need to “beat yourself up” over it—because it happens
to everyone. It also hap-pens to everyone repeatedly. And it happens despite your
best intentions. But even though it’s not your “fault”, you still have to fix it.
This special plan is so powerful that gets you off the Liar’s Diet immediately—in
just one day—with almost no thought, planning, or effort on your part. (After all, it
took no thought, planning, or effort to slip on to the Liar’s Diet, so there should
also be an easy way back. We Multi-Dieters like symmetry. ).
Please practice using this plan a few times so you’ll know how to quickly fit it into
your schedule when you need it. Be sure to keep all its ingredients on hand at all
times. And be prepared to use it immediately any time you think the food beast is
getting out of control. Use this plan for a day or two to refocus your attention and
then move on to the other meal plans, or the general routine, or tracking food by
computer, etc.
The Jump-Start Plan
ON GETTING OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING:
Drink at least one 8-10 oz glass of water.
Take your multivitamin/mineral supplement.
Take 200 mg magnesium supplement.
Take 500 mg potassium supplement.
FOR BREAKFAST:
MULTI-DIET BREAKFAST “SHAKE” (See pg 355.)
FOR LUNCH:
SHRIMP & VEGETABLE MEDLEY (See pg 357.)
Low cal soft drink.
FOR DINNER:
CHICKEN & VEGETABLE MEDLEY (See pg 358.)
Low cal soft drink.
AFTERNOON OR EVENING SNACK:
Popcorn snack (See pg 378.)
THROUGHOUT THE DAY:
Drink one 10 oz glass of water about every two hours. (You don’t need to be precise
about the timing, but you should to drink a daily total of about 80 oz.)
You may substitute low calorie soft drinks for up to ½ of the water (but at least ½
should always be pure water). Caffeine drinks like coffee or tea, which dehydrate
you, do not count toward the water total.
MAJOR NUTRIENT CHART FOR THIS PLAN:
Calories1510 Protein125 g Fiber45 g Carbohydrate195 g
Potassium4550 mg Sodium2610 mg Calcium1200 mg Phosphorus1865 mg Magnesium460 mg
Advisory Comments:
This plan’s meals are very quick & easy to prepare—an especially important advantage
during diet “emergencies”.
The plan provides between 120% and 150% of recommended amounts of each macromineral.
With the vitamin supplement, it generally provides even higher percentages of the
vitamins and trace elements. It also provides large amounts of both protein and
fiber. Yet it still has only 1500 Calories.
The breakfast shake is actually a highly concentrated nutritional “experience” for
your body. (You may begin to actually feel this as a physical sensation after you’ve
used it a few times.) By itself this shake provides over half of the phosphorus and
over three-quarters of the calcium you need in a day—in a highly digestible form.
Lunch is a large meal intended to satisfy the need for quantity. You needn’t eat it
all at one time if you feel it’s too much (save the rest for later). It also provides
almost all of the EFAs in this plan.
Dinner is another large meal, although not quite as large as lunch (again, you
needn’t eat it all at once).
The popcorn snack is ideal for quickly correcting those late afternoon or evening
“munchies”, which are typically caused by transient declines in blood glucose.
The low cal soft drinks at lunch and dinner are important—they provide the sweet
flavor you need in order to diet successfully—and they are usually the easiest and
most convenient way to satisfy this need.
You can switch dinner and lunch if you find that more to your liking.
Recommended supplements may actually be taken at any time during the day. (First
thing in the morning is easiest to remember.)
Water can be drunk at any time and in any amount you want. One glass every 2 hours is
a convenient rather than a required way to do it.
