THE JERUSALEM DIET

Written by a neighborly Christian pastor and self-diagnosed food addict, this is an ingenious plan for anyone with weight control issues. After setting a long-term weight goal, create a weekly weight-loss goal of one pound per week. Restrict your diet to fruit, vegetables, and seeds on days the digital scale indicates you're over the weight goal--your "fat days." On days you're under your goal, you have wiggle room to eat what you want within reason, so you're not insufferable when a fabulous meal presents itself. If you go too far and are over plan the next morning, you go back on the restricted diet. This appealing structure makes you learn moderation to avoid the restricted diet.
