Potatoes aren’t fattening, so
have a bunch of them. Try swtet
potatocs for a real appetite salis-

Make up some delicious fruit
shakes in the blender, with milk
and fresh strawberries or bananas.

Cut your ‘‘twice a week’’ steak
in half, from 10 - 12 ounces to 5 -
6. Eal it with lots of baked onions
and potatoes,

What that means is that after
about 90 days, you’ll have made
enormous progress. AND, your
healthier new diet habits will
have become comfortable and
habitual,

There’s no rules to stray from,
and no cheating fo worry about.
But the good news is that slowly,

half. You’ll be cating more vege~
tables and fruils. And best of all,
you'll actually be eating MORE
food than before.

‘Youll increase your natural
resistance {fo heart disease, and
maybe even to cancer. In later
months, when you’re out on your
fitness walk, you’ll discover that
you’ve shed weight. And the ex-
ercise has helped you to deal with
the stress in your life

And all of this will happen
without even being on the
“perfect”? diet. You'll be eating
ALL foods, just some more often,
and some less often.

You don’! have to be a perfect
person! Try the Imperfect Diet,
and give yourself a break!
