The key takeaways of the diet are that it aims to help lose 3-5 pounds per week by restricting processed foods, dairy, spices, oils, sauces, alcohol and caffeine while drinking plenty of water and focusing on whole grains, proteins and vegetables.

The guidelines provide sample 3-week meal plans consisting of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options with portions of lean proteins, fruits and vegetables. Snacks are limited to 1 cup of berries or other fruits.

The diet bans processed foods, dairy, all spices, oils and sauces. It also discourages drinking alcohol or caffeine and limits whole grains to one serving per day.

The Diet

This short-term diet �ensures you lose between 3 and 5 pounds a week,� says
Anderson.
The diet bans processed food, dairy and all spices (�They�re bloating and upset
your digestive system, which causes you to store fat�),
oil and sauces (�They�re just added calories�), discourages drinking alcohol or
caffeine (sip 1.5 to 3 liters of water daily instead)
and prescribes one serving of whole-grain carbs a day. Once you�re at your target
weight, adopt a healthy but less restrictive diet.
