Ann Collins, a nutritionist, runs an Internet website service for dieters. You have to pay a $19.95 membership fee good for a year. This entitles you to diet plans, tips to stay motivated, exercise plans and access to a weight loss forum where you can ask for advice and network with others on the diet. She offers nine different diet plans: this is the Low Calorie Two-Week Booster Plan.
This is a 14-day weight loss plan based on calorie reduction. You choose between preparing your food at home or buying convenience foods or a combination of both. Collins says her diet is for people close to their ideal weights or experiencing a plateau in weight loss or for those who want to jump-start a weight-loss plan. She says you should not stay on her diet for more than two weeks.
The total calorie allowance is under 1200 calories per day, but you can increase that amount based on your height, weight and gender.
Here is a typical daily menu from her website at http://www.annecollins.com/.
