Note: you must have body fat to go on a fast. When you run out of body fat your body will start burning up your internal organs for fuel. When this happens it can damage your internal organs.
Note: I edited this document to show the Chart first then the Introduction later.

How to Lose Weight Fast
Introduction
I strongly advise anyone who takes my diet plan to do so under the supervision of a physician. If you are taking medications then this plan is not recommended. Drugs will have an adverse affect on you system and will be rapidly absorbed into your body. Only those in good physical condition should consider following my plan. Most doctors are unfamiliar with this plan and recommend a less stringent diet. I have personally been scolded by physicians for performing this diet.
I have dieted 7 times in the last one and one half years. I kept notes on how much I’ve lost and I’ve gone from two-hundred and twenty-one pounds down to 167 pounds and back again. Today I’m 250 pounds. I will prove to you that you don’t need pills, special drinks, foods, or gimmicks.
What you need is most your own is your determination to achieve the picture of yourself you want.
I can give you all the information and organizational skills needed to reduce your weight and improve your health but the most substantial factor is the person implementing the plan. The odds are against you.
Ninety-five percent of persons who lose weight gain it back. You must adopt the notion that you will be one of those five percent who don’t gain the weight back. You must adopt the notion that failure is the road to success because let’s face it, we are only human. We make mistakes. But we can learn from our mistakes.
Fortunately, for you I’ve kept a record of my mistakes, and I’ve made mistakes in my diet plan that have sent me to the doctor in pain and others that simply gained weight back of twenty pounds in a week.
Frame of mind
What do you want to look like when you are done? Perhaps you should say to yourself what don’t I want to look like? Focus on your double chin, waist, hips, or just your weight. What is the optimum weight you want to be? There are limits to how much weigh you can lose. You body will let you know from body signs.
Get organized. Make up a calendar to record your progress, weight, mistakes, ect… What did you eat that day? Did you follow the plan? Get a digital scale that you can read. Create a schedule of what you are going to do from the time you wake to the time you go to sleep.
Exercise light. An exercise bike for twenty to thirty minutes a day is adequate to lose one half pound per day while on the diet. When back on normal food one hour per day will burn one pound.
Why am I so fat?
All that fat on your body is all that good food you crave that your body can’t break down. Meat and starches put on pounds. Our digestive tracks are twelve times the length of our bodies and we are really better suited to eat fruits, vegetables, and beans. Poly-saturated fats or animal fats are not broken down completely by our digestive tracts and stored as fat. Mono-saturated fats like peanut butter are broken down and used up by the body. In comparison, the common house cat has a digestive track that is three times the length of it’s body and passes the waist or fats quickly from their systems.
Let’s get started
1. calendar
2. digital scale
3. daily schedule
4. mirror, cheap full length
5. tape measure
6. juice, 100% juices such as:
Welches grape juice,
Tropicanna orange juice,
V8 Vegtable juice,
Cambells Tomato juice
Dole Pineapple juice
7. raw fruit & vegetables, no starches such as potatoes, rice, beans, noodles, or spaghetti …
Your digestive track is used to getting what you give it. Right now it is used to meats, poultry, fish, dairy products, donuts, ice cream, and cookies ect… We are going to change all that. We are going to fool your digestive track to the food that you give it but your body will pull whatever else it needs from your body fat. Fruits and vegetables are mostly composed of water. Your first get yourself and your body used to the idea of eating only fruits, vegetables, and juices for your basic needs, water. Watermelon is the best source of water for your body as any organic chemistry professor will tell you.
Your body is mostly composed of water and that is what it needs the most.
Don’t fret, you can still have a salad as your main meal but only with olive oil(has no fat), water, and red wine vinegar dressing. My favorite salad was Romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, black olive, green pimento olives and my former mentioned dressing. Vegetables to tough to chew with to much pulp such as cauliflower, carrots, ect… can be avoided.
This is what I’ve called Pre-Fast conditioning. One can stay on this PFC(pre-fast conditioning) for the entire diet and attain good results of 3 to 5 pounds the first day and at least a pound a day every thereafter. This conditioning gets your body ready for the next phase if you want to continue, the Fast.
A minimum of four days must be undertaken of PFC before you attempt the fast of water only. The PFC gets your body ready for nothing but water since these foods are mostly composed of water. Strenuous physical activity is not to be undertaken while attempting a Fast and PFC. All your activities should be planned out and exercise should be light. Your body will draw on your body fats for all your other needs. I have heard many times how this was going to kill me and I couldn’t do it.
I would reply, “This is my 3rd or 6th fast and I’m healthier thinner that ever.” What does fasting do for you?
Why do we get older? Each cell in your body is a duplicate of a previous cell and if the duplicate is impure from fats, chemicals, or whatever has accumulated in your cells then you are going to age, deteriorate, degenerate, and or become sick. There are about 70,000 manmade chemicals in the world, 10,000 of which we know of their effect or no effect on the human body of which 1,000 are banned. Fasting rids your cells of these impurities. Fasting although not 100% effective can clear up conditions such as:
Total Improved Not Improved %Improved
Anemia 60 52 8 86
Arthritis 47 39 8 82.97
Asthma 29 29 0 100

Smoking cigarettes, an impurity nicotine, cannot be tolerated by the body during a Water Fast along with alcohol or drugs. A fast is not just a means of burning up fat but impurities which have accumulated in the body leading to adverse health. However, during a Water Fast this is physically easier to attain since each time you eat your systems craves nicotine. This is removed during a Water Fast and all that is left is the psychological addiction or conditioning to nicotine. One must remember the picture of what they want to look and feel like as an end result of the diet fast.
