Why LCD Works Where Other Plans Fail!
Many plans fail because they rely on
portion control, a form of self sacrifice
that dieters find to be really
mean. Other plans struggle when
they become bogged down in
scientific terminology such as
“carbs,” “fats,” and “proteins,”
technical concepts that simply
overwhelm dieters.
Why This Plan Works
This plan (Plan!) works because it’s
simple and generous. With LCD, eat
and drink as much as you want,
whenever you want, for as long as
you want, with whomever you want,
wherever you are, and however you
want. And don’t worry about esoteric
concepts that throw smokescreens
onto your efforts (“insulin?” What
are we, scientists?!). That’s right, as
long as it’s iceberg lettuce and coffee,
there are absolutely no restrictions.
None at all!
Take that, Jenny Craig!
The Plan
Phase I: Acclimation
Duration: 7 days
Meals: 3 per day, plus 2 snacks
Breakfast: 2 cups coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Snack: 1 cup coffee, 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce
Lunch: 2 cups coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Dinner: 1 cup coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Snack: 2 cups coffee, 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce
During this acclimation period, your body needs to wean itself from
the rigid pyramid food group items that “conventional” educational
sources (teachers, physicians, scientists, dieticians) have drilled
into our minds as essential. Say goodbye to meats, poultry, fish,
fruit, grains, and breads—and say hello to rich, Colombian coffee
and crisp iceberg lettuce.
Don’t be concerned if you’re doubled-over with cramps after a few
days—those are temporary feelings that subside completely by
Phase II. Those blinding pains are your body telling you that the
plan is working!
Expected weight loss: 27-32 pounds
Phase II: Tapering
Meals: 3 per day, plus 2 snacks
Breakfast: 2 cups coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Snack: 1 cup coffee, 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce
Lunch: 2 cups coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Dinner: 1 cup coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Snack: 2 cups coffee, 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce
This is where you’ll really start to see results. When you’re able to
drag yourself from the couch (you’ll spend a lot of time prostrate in
Phase II) you’ll be overcome with joy at your new-found Self.
Expected weight loss: 44-51 pounds
Phase III: Fit for Life
Duration: Ongoing
Meals: 3 per day, plus 2 snacks
Breakfast: 2 cups coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Snack: 1 cup coffee, 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce
Lunch: 2 cups coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Dinner: 1 cup coffee, 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Snack: 2 cups coffee, 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce
Phase III is where the magic begins. Your middle-age paunch will
be replaced by rib-cage abs, signs that your body has completely
acclimated to the LCD lifestyle. And don’t be alarmed at intermittent
blackouts or muscle failure—they’re temporary symptoms that are
byproducts of any successful weight management program.
Expected weight loss: 15% of body weight per week.

Real Results: LCD Success Stories
In just 7 weeks on the Iceberg Lettuce and Coffee Diet, I dropped 137 pounds and went from a size 34 to a
perfect 2. Though I can’t stand upright, my self esteem has never been higher. Thanks, LCD! ----B. Glen, Chicago, IL
I was a bit leery about LCD after the 60 Minutes piece, but my wedding was three weeks away and I wanted to
look good. I’m happy to report that I shed 79 pounds in just 19 days. And despite the persistent gum bleeding
and total hair loss, my dress fit great! LCD works!
---M. Jackowitz, San Jose, CA
I’m a 44-year old 5’10” male who’s been active his entire life, and I never thought weight management would
be an issue that I’d need to confront. But when I recently tipped the scales at 425 pounds (I was 185 when I
turned 40), my clothes weren’t fitting right and my wife started to notice. In fact, our lovemaking had also
slowed considerably.
I began following the LCD Plan after witnessing a co-worker’s rapid success (followed by her untimely death)
two months ago. Since then, I’ve shed 220 pounds and my wife is insatiable. Muchos gracias, LCD!
---E. Gorman, Las Cruces, NM

Many diets fail because they become tedious. Day after day, dieters recycle the
same tired menus, and this lack of variety—besides being nutritionally
unbalanced—leads to boredom, dissatisfaction . . . and ultimately, failure.
