While researching diets, I came across another diet (last one was The AMAZING SOUP DIET) under the "Good Housekeeping" name (or at least printed in their magazine). Apparently this diet came out in 1998. I have basically copied and pasted it from site that had the original diet outlined:http://diet.webmarketclub.com/plans/frozen-food-diet.html
I liked the fact that it is ALL laid out. Nothing to think about except shop!! Almost as easy as just having food delivered from Nutri-System or Jenny Craig...(this diet just might prove to be a little more tastier though)
***I am only doing this diet Monday through Friday,(vacation starts Saturday)***
The original Good Housekeeping frozen-food diet consists of seven days of menus. However any meal can be switched for the same meal on a different day. It is a 1,400-calorie per day diet and the plan calls for 45 minutes of exercise four–five days per week. Brand-name products may be substituted with similar foods having the same number of calories. Spices, garlic, lemon, soy sauce, and vinegar are permitted.
