STRESS MANAGEMENT DIET The following diet is designed specifically to help you manage stress, which tends to build up during the day. There are also certain rules with which you should become familiar as they are very important to the proper implementation of the diet. BREAKFAST 1/2 Grapefruit. 1 Slice of whole wheat toast. 5 oz Skim Milk. LUNCH 4 oz Lean Broiled Chicken Breast. 1 cup Steamed Spinach. 1 cup Herbal Tea. 1 ea Oreo Cookie. MID-AFTERNOON SNACK The rest of the Oreos in the package. 2 Pints of Rocky Road ice cream. 1 Jar of Hot Fudge Sauce. Nuts, Cherries, Whipped Cream. SUPPER 2 Loaves of garlic bread with cheese. 1 Large sausage, mushroom and cheese pizza. 4 Cans of beer (or 1 large pitcher of draft). 3 Milky Way and/or Snickers candy bars. LATE EVENING NEWS SNACK 1 Frozen cheesecake eaten directly from the freezer! RULES FOR DIET UNDER STRESS 1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories. 2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are canceled by the diet soda. This is medically called the "Liquifaction Process." 3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you don't eat as much as they do. This is called "Caloric Cancellation by Reciprocity." 4. Food eaten for medical purposes NEVER counts, such as toast, brandy, hot chocolate, or Sara Lee Cheesecake. 5. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking cookies causes caloric leakage. The same principle holds as well for other foods. Hence, instead of eating a chocolate pie whole, if you eat it in pieces, you intake less calories. 6. Movie related foods have no additional calories because they are part of the entire entertainment package, and not of one's own personal fuel. 7. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are: Spinach and pistachio ice cream. Mushrooms and white chocolate. Note: Chocolate is a universal and may be substituted for any other food color. This principle's biological name is: "Caloric Equilibrium by Chromasynthesis." Final Thought: Remember, "STRESSED" spelled backwards is "DESSERTS!"
