woman from mars - the diet in that link seems to be very low in protein. Cults have been known to use low protein diets as a strategy to brain wash people.
We had a news story on the Judge Rotenberg Centre here. There was a lovely, gentle looking girl in the story, she was hooked up to a electrical device and when she saw the device that emits the electric shock, she cowered with fear. It was awful - just beyond belief that such a place is allowed to exist.
This is the dietary regime :- ( read recommended as 'this is what you are getting' no argument !! ) :-
Foods To Eat
1. All whole grains and whole-grain cereals, such as brown rice, corn, oatmeal, barley, millet and wheat berries; many packaged grain cereals, puffed grains and other healthful cereals.
2. Squashes, such as acorn, butternut, buttercup, pumpkin and zucchini
3. Root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams
4. Legumes such as peas, split peas, black-eyed peas, string beans, and such beans as chick-peas, lentils, and adzuki, navy, pinto and black beans
5. Green and yellow vegetables, such as collard greens, broccoli, kale, mustard greens, cabbage, various types of lettuce, and watercress; celery, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus, and tomato.
6. Fruit, such as apples, bananas, berries, grapefruit, oranges, peaches, and pears. (Limited to two servings per day.)
7. For most people, simple sugars, salt and spices used sparingly at the table rather than in cooking.
Foods to Avoid
1. Avoid all red meat, including beef, pork, and lamb. All are rich in fat, cholesterol, and other harmful constituents.
2. Avoid all poultry and fish. Poultry has about the same amount of cholesterol as red meat, while fish varies, depending on type. Some fish are higher in cholesterol than red meat, others lower.
3. Avoid all dairy products, including milk, yogurt and cheese. Low-fat dairy products are not recommended because of potential health hazards including allergies, childhood diabetes, arthritis and lactose intolerance.
4. Avoid all oil, including olive, safflower, peanut and corn oil. Oil is simply a liquid form of fat.
5. Avoid eggs. Eggs are abundant in fat and cholesterol.
6. Avoid nuts, seeds, avocados, olives and soybean products (including tofu, soy cheese, and soy milk). Soybean products are high in fat, unless they have been specially processed (low-fat varieties are also not recommended).
7. Avoid all dried fruit and fruit juices. (Eat the whole fruit instead).
8. Avoid all flour products, such as breads, bagels and pretzels. The less a food is processed the better it is for weight loss. Flour products are composed of fragments of grain, or relatively small particles, which increase absorption and slow weight loss.
