What are you doing this weekend? Ready to look better naked?

The best way to get into the groove of a new approach to eating is by experiencing early results. And you will—with this 2-day plan by dietitian Keri Glassman. You'll feel healthy, drop some water weight and we promise, you won't feel deprived or hungry!

Breakfast

Light shake:

• Blend 1 cup skim (or soy, almond, rice, or hemp) milk

• 1 cup berries

• 1 tsp peanut butter (or flaxseed oil)

• 1 cup of ice until frothy

Bonus: Add a dash of cocoa powder!

Snack

• 1 cup sliced cucumbers

• 1 cup green tea

Bonus: Add a little vinegar and fresh dill to your

cucumbers, or make a cucumber salad by slicing a

couple of unpeeled cucumbers into rounds, dousing

them with flavored vinegar (fig is great, if you can find

it), and letting them marinate for an hour. Drain off the

vinegar and keep them in the fridge.

Bonus: Drink your green tea straight up andhot—or

brew a whole pot, toss in some fresh mint leaves or

slices of peeled fresh ginger, and let steep for a few

hours. Store in the fridge and pour it over ice when

you’re thirsty.

Lunch

• Steamed or raw greens (romaine, spinach, mesclun

mix, bok choy, arugula, watercress, frisee, endive, etc.)

• 4 oz lean protein (white meat chicken, firm tofu, lean

beef, fish)

• 2 tsp oil (olive, sunflower, walnut)

Bonus: Mix-and-match your greens! You can get a lot of

no-cal flavor simply by adding arugula or watercress, both

of which have a peppery kick. Or you can toss a handful of

fresh basil, cilantro, or flat-leaf parsley in with salad greens

for an extra jolt of flavor.

Snack

• 10 asparagus spears, blanched

• 1 cup green tea

Bonus: Dip the asparagus into nonfat yogurt swirled

with Dijon mustard to taste.

Dinner

• Steamed or raw greens

• 4 oz lean protein

• 2 tsp oil

Bonus: Be creative with your 2 teaspoons of oil, at both

lunch and dinner. Whisk it with a teaspoon of vinegar

and some herbs for vinaigrette; use it to sauté bite-size

pieces of white-meat chicken, lean beef, tofu, or fish; or

mix it with a flavor-booster spice mix to rub on chicken,

beef, or fish before broiling or grilling.
