The Steak and Tomato Diet first appeared in Liberty Magazine around 1944, and then later in the Saturday
Evening Post. It’s another high protein, very low calorie diet. You have 4 tomatoes and 1 pound of steak a day.
You can have 5-6 ounces of steak for breakfast and for lunch and for dinner, with 1 tomato at breakfast, 1
tomato at lunch and 2 tomatoes at dinner. Or have 2 tomatoes at breakfast (skip your steak), and have 8 ounces
of steak with 1 tomato for lunch and 8 ounces of steak with 1 tomato for dinner. You can also have 1 cup of a
vegetable, once a day. Your vegetable can be 1 cup of broccoli or spinach or zucchini or green beans or wax
beans or asparagus. This very low calorie diet is usually good a weight loss of a half pound to one pound a day.
Make sure you drink at least a gallon (128 ounces) of non caloric fluid a day on this (and every) weight loss
program.
