Like the other frozen-food diets, commercial frozen-
food diets are designed for nutritional balance and por-
tion control. Cederquist’s diet delivers an average 1,200
calories, with a range of 1,100–1,400 calories, in three
daily meals and two snacks. The calories come from lean
protein and complexcarbohydratesrather than from
simple carbohydrates andfats. The diet avoids foods
such as white bread, potatoes, and pasta that contain
simple sugars. The program accommodates one dinner
outside of the diet per week.
Cederquist’s diet recommends:
drinking a minimum of 64 oz (2 l) or eight glasses of
water daily, as regular water, flavored water, decaf-
feinated diet soda, or diet fruit juices, to keep the
body hydrated and ‘flushed’
limiting caffeinated drinks, such as coffee, tea, or diet
soda, to two per day, since caffeine is a diuretic and
will cause body cells to retain water, thereby slowing
weight loss.
drinking coffee black or with a low-fat creamer and/
or a sugar substitute
avoiding fruit juices because they are high in sugar
drinking low-fat (1%) or skim milk for protein, lim-
ited to 8 oz (237 ml) per day because of the lactose.Function
