Welcome to Phase 3 or The Cheeseburger Diet Core!
Please remain seated and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times as we proceed onwards into the Core of the Cheeseburger diet or, if you prefer, as we journey into the diet's core...
Well here we are, you've made it! So what is the Core of the cheeseburger diet? Well it is very simple (my goal all along was to keep this diet as simple and as easy to follow as possible) and here we finally return to having "actual" cheeseburgers complete with buns! Well... at least cheeseburgers on whole grain buns or bread! This is the main difference between the Core of the diet and the previous two stages, the re-introduction of bread and this is done in the form of 100% whole grain, high fiber breads. I will try to list some of the current low-carb high-fiber breads later on in this section. So here as we build upon the previous stage of our diet, Redux, we will simply be eating those same foods but now we will be eating our cheeseburgers on our choice of 100% whole grain, high fiber breads.
So here you have an example of the a typical meal in the Core of the cheeseburger diet.
- A double cheeseburger on 100% whole grain, high fiber bread. Topped with lettuce, tomato onion and pickles.
- A side salad topped with shredded cheese, onion, tomato, olives, peppers, bacon and blue cheese dressing.
- Dill pickle spears.
Quick summary for the minimalist!
- Eat cheeseburgers complete with toppings and on whole grain high fiber bread!
- Have a few dill pickle spears on the side.
- Have a side salad if you're still hungry but watch the dressing!
- Need a snack throughout the day? Have some cheese!

A similar rule goes here as well, if you forget to pack your lunch or just plain run out of burgers at home then it is perfectly acceptable during this phase of the diet to go to your favorite burger joint and order a double or even triple cheesburger including the toppings and without the bun. Then take the patties and topping sand add your own whole grain high fiber bun. You can also order a side salad if available. I often kept a loaf of quality whole grain high fiber bread in my desk at work to facilitate this! LOL!
