The Oscar Diet

Victoria Woodhallwrites an excellent article in "You" magazine on the new Oscar diet devised by Lisa Jeans. This is basically a low glycemic index regime based on vegetable juice and raw foods.

Apparently raw foods make the body alkaline and are high in natural enzymes. You eat every three hours to stave off the blood sugar lows.

The diet involves avoiding sugary, wheat, meat, caffeine, alcohol and dairy and replacing them with alkaline foods, such as fresh vegetables.

The article continues that you don't have to count calories or carbohydrates, but instead make vegetables the main part of your meals, eaten raw or juiced.
