Near Starvation Diet

I have been thinking about the article that Julie posted about the near starvation diet. I was thinking how it would be VERY EASY to do a less than 1000 calorie diet - without making THAT many changes in my normal existance. So here is a sample of what I came up with. The problem with THIS sort of diet is that you can't eat ANYTHING else. Of course - THIS one was 866 calories total - so that DOES give you 134 calories to play with before hitting 1000 calories.
