THE FAT BLOCKER PROGRAM: THE IDEALS
The way I see it, the ideal eating plan is like a lighthouse, a beacon upon which to set your sights. If you can, I urge you to adhere to the full plan. But do not be too hard on yourself if, in spite of your best efforts, you cannot. For, if you make an honest, continuing effort to eat correctly, if you keep your beacon clearly in view, and you take Chitosan regularly, you will be taking a major step down the road toward keeping your fat intake low, your fiber consumption sufficient, and your cholesterol under
control.
As Leo Burnett, the great advertising agent, used to say, “If you reach for the stars, you may not touch one, but you won’t come up with a handful of mud either.”
A Word About Water: Drinking plenty of water is an integral part of any healthy eating plan. But it is essential when you take Chitosan. In fact, this may be the only rule in this whole book that you should never violate. The reason is that, if you eat a lot of Chitosan and do not drink sufficient water, you may find that you are becoming quite constipated. If this is a situation which becomes extreme (which is very unlikely), you should just cut down on Chitosan.
Otherwise, a little constipation is merely annoying. But it should be avoided if possible. And 8 glasses of water a day, in addition to the other benefits it brings, should solve the constipation problem completely.
With this perspective firmly in view, let us proceed to examine the ideal diet. As you have no doubt gathered, one of its main aspects is that it includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans, peas, lentils, etc.), and very little fat.
