There is a diet based around drinking Cranberry juice, it is called the Cranberry juice fat flush: Phase 1 - 2 weeks This is a restrictive phase of between 1100-1200 calories per day. The intention here is to "lose bloat" - which refers to reducing water retention as well as some fat loss. In this phase you are not allowed to eat; margarine, alcohol, sugar, oils or fats (except flaxseed oil), grains, bread, cereal, starchy vegetables, dairy products. Even the herbs and spices are restricted to a small list. Phase 2 - Ongoing Here the calorie allowance is lifted - to 1200-1500 calories. The idea is to continue on with the program until the desired weight loss is achieved. Phase 3 - The maintenance phase Essentially a weight maintenance phase, with a caloric intake of 1500 calories or over. Some starchy carbs are gradually re-introduced, along with gluten-free grains, and some dairy. Exercise The program contains a significant exercise component. This can be anything from 20 to 40 minutes of exercise per day, depending on the phase. This is typically low-impact (walking). Strength training (lifting weights) is also on the list (twice a week). A sleep prescription of exactly 8 hours per night is also required. Here is a sample meal plan for phase 1: Upon Waking "Long Life" cocktail [psyllium husks in cran-water - see below] Before Breakfast 8 oz hot water with lemon juice Breakfast Vegetable scramble - 2 scrambled eggs, with spinach, green peppers, scallions, and parsley. 8 oz glass of cran-water [diluted unsweetened cranberry juice] Snack 1/2 Large grapefruit 20 minutes before lunch 8 oz glass of cran-water Lunch 4 ounces of salmon with lemon and garlic, warm asparagus, mixed-green salad with broccoli florets and cucumber, 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil, and one 8 oz glass of cran-water Mid afternoon snack 2 8 oz glass cran-water 4pm Snack 1 apple 20 minutes before dinner 8 oz glass of carn-water Dinner 4 ounces of grilled lamb chop with pinch of cinnamon and dried mustard, sautéed kale in broth, baked summer squash with a touch of cloves, and 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil Mid evening "Long life" cocktail
