Diet #1: Modified Schoonmaker-PMC Sports Illustrated

Use this diet first and for one to two weeks. It will not be effective thereafter. This is an updated version of a Sports Illustrated created by a Dr. Schoonmaker 20 years ago. In certain senses it is outdated, but it is a very effective and satisfying diet. I believe this diet changes metabolism, “fills up protein stores,” and also gives you an overflow of certain foods with which you then become bored and therefore lose your taste for foods that you need to stop eating. The foods that I don’t really want you to eat are meat, dairy, and coffee - exactly as are in this diet. But for one or two weeks, this will be all right.

Where the quantity of food below is not specifically limited, you may eat as much as you desire. Eat three meals per day and no snacking. Nothing is permitted except what is on this piece of paper for the one to two weeks, plus the vitamins, vegetables, fruit, and soups/stews of Diet #4. If you eat the eggs, it should be two egg whites only. No butter, no margarine, no grease, but you may use Pam Spray. I recommend Inka, a coffee substitute, Kukicha, Bancha and herbal teas or hot water with lemon. You may use the “Zero” salad dressing*. Drink at least one quart of water per day. You may use herbs such as Herbal Bouquet Italian Blend-Salt Free or Bell’s Seasoning - Salt Free, but not ketchup. You may chew sugarless gum as well as low cal drinks, but again I prefer the Mountain Valley water, weak teas or Inka coffee substitute. Weigh yourself only at night.
