[…] allowance is somewhat reminiscent of Harley Pasternak’s “cheat day” in his 5-Factor Diet and Exercise Plan. The similarities don’t stop there as Pasternak has also trained Eva Mendes. Looking at […]

That’s a hella lot of food…how did they manage to find her such rich foods that only equate to 1300 calories a day? Seems a bit too good to be true.

I’m with Melissa on this one, how could all that food be only 1300 calories? Mind you, they didn’t really specify quantities. . .still, may have to research this one more closely :) Jessica looks healthy and beautiful, so there’s gotta be something there!

what that sounds like waaay to much food to only be like 1300 calories a day

it is a lot of food… but it’s the right food so it is low in calories… I used to do a similar plan but ate 6 times a day at 1500 cal. high protein to increase muscle mass, but low cal. to force the body to eat what it had already… looking into trying this program because it’s similar to what I’ve done before and had it work… until I fell off the wagon (ex girl friend started to cook for me, her food choices).

It is a lot of food but remember her portions will be small and the names they’ve given some of the dishes are pretty elaborate, making it sound more filling an therefore interesting.
She looks great though an this is far more sensible than the diets most other celebs go on!
