limited to 1-2 slices at each meal. All meals
are eaten without fluids except breakfast, when one small cup of
coffee or tea without milk, cream, or sugar is allowed. If fruit juice
is to be served instead of fruit, it must be prepared with little if
any water and no sugar. The juice may be poured over cracked ice, if
desired.
