Came across this recently ...

... and thought I'd share with you all. It has helped me reduce my stress levels immensely and I'm all about helping my friends!!

THE STRESS LESS DIET

This diet is designed to help you cope with the stress that builds during the day.

BREAKFAST
1/2 grapefruit
1 slice whole wheat toast, dry
8oz skim milk

LUNCH
4oz lean broiled chicken breast
1 cup steamed spinach
1 cup herbal tea
1 Oreo cookie

MID-AFTERNOON SNACK
Rest of Oreos in packet
1 jar hot fudge sauce
2 pints Rocky Road ice cream
Nuts, cherries and whipped cream

DINNER
2 loaves of garlic bread with cheese
Large pepperoni and cheese pizza
4 cans beer or large bottle of wine
3 Milky Ways/Mars/Snickers bars

LATE EVENING SNACK
Entire frozen cheesecake eaten directly from the freezer

RULES FOR THIS DIET (and any other you decide to try!)

  1. If you eat something and no-one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
  2. If you have a diet soft drink with a chocolate bar, the calories in the chocolate are cancelled out by the diet drink.
  3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count so long as you don't eat more than they do. Also, calories consumed with good friends never count!
  4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER counts, for example: hot chocolate, brandy, toast or Sara Lee cheesecake.
  5. If you fatten everyone else around you, you will look thinner.
  6. Movie related foods do not have additional calories because they are part of the entire entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel. Examples: jumbo sized hot buttered popcorn, Choc Tops, M&M's, Jaffas or Fantails.
  7. Cookie/biscuit pieces contain absolutely no calories as they leak out when the whole cookie/biscuit is broken. Allow at least 60 30 3 seconds between breaking biscuits/cookies and consumption to allow for optimal calorie leakage.
  8. The process of baking cookies/biscuits dramatically reduces their calorie content which means you may have twice as many as you thought you could.
  9. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples: Jam on the knife used while making a sandwich, ice cream on the spoon while making a sundae, dough off the side of the bowl while baking biscuits/cookies, batter on the beaters while making a cake.
  10. Foods that are the same colour have the same number of calories. Examples: white chocolate has the same number of calories as mushrooms, mint ice cream has the same as celery, mixed lollies have the same as mixed vegetables. NOTE: Chocolate is a universal colour and may be substituted for any other colour.

Hope this helps you all as much as it has helped me!
