The recipe looks good, however a bit of a hassle to find everything or having to juice that fruit. As for "cleansing" you system, prune juicue with pulp and lots of water will accomplish the same thing. The juice is loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals as well.

~~Hollywood Diet Recipe ~~(as seen on TV)_____________________ *One cup Papaya Juice *One banana *One-half cup green tea/strongly brewed *One scoop soy protein powder w/spirulina *One-half cup blueberries/ can be frozen *One-fourth cup carrot juice *One-fourth cup apricot juice *One-half cup non-fat plain yogurt *One pack sweet & low ~Blend all of the above together till smooth. Serve over ice. Recipe yields 2 servings. Drink every 3 hours or less (up to 6 times per day). Use juices with no added sugar or corn syrups, as this is the key to losing quickly.

I hope you guys know that all the diet is doing to you is dehydrating you. You are losing all water in your body not actual fat.

Thanks MarieND, ElsMaMa, I somehow seem to have given the impression that my Dad wont follow a diet. Actually, he is very good about trying to stick to a low fat, low carb, etc diet, and has his diabetes well under control at this point. The problem is that he gets tired of his extremely limited diet, and who can blame him. I'm just trying to help him find some other things he can eat. Since he is 70, and male, he just isn't willing to learn how to cook complicated dishes. He makes stir fry, and simple soup and stew dishes, for example. I just thought that maybe there were some microwaveable dinners that would fit his diet. Given the large number of older folks with these problems, you'd think some bright boy would be marketing to them. Thanks again! Le Jane
