Repeat as often as required.

For two weeks, eat only protein and fat foods and green vegetables with less than 40 g of carbohydrates per day; ground linseed is the best protein/fat food. • Repeat times when you rely on vegetable and grass juices in addition to vegetable salads. • Avoid all sweet food, as it stimulates the appetite and the synthesis of fat.

Some good food sources of calcium are snow peas, broccoli, leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale, and beet and turnip greens, almonds, figs, beans (soybeans are the best), nonfat milk, yogurt, and cottage cheese. Please don't depend on milk to get your calcium. This is because milk has a poor calcium-to-magnesium ratio. Your body needs a certain amount of magnesium in order to get the calcium into your bones—without magnesium, calcium can't build strong bones. In fact, magnesium deficiency may be more common in women with osteoporosis than calcium deficiency.
