***Important note: DO NOT DOUBLE UP on any of your servings. If you did not have your fruit in
the morning/afternoon, do not eat both at the same time in the evening. Use the same protocol with
meats and vegetables. The diet is designed to work with the exact portion sizes alone. If you eat
more than what is allowed per serving, you will gain weight, not lose it.

The fruit or the Melba may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not
more than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.

Every item in the list is gone over carefully, continually stressing the point that no variations other
than those listed may be introduced. All things not listed are forbidden.
