It's called "The Life Choice Diet."

Try

It is not exactly vegetarian, but very close.

``These should be avoided: Meat of all kinds -- red and white, fish
and fowl (if we can't give up meat, we should at least eat as little
as possible)''

When my friend Ted did this several years ago, he avoided all meat,
fish, and fowl. It's basically a no-fat diet, and all these foods
have fat. The only fat he consumed was the trace amounts in
vegetables and fruits. He was doing this to lower his cholesterol
rather than to lose weight, though he lost a fair bit initially.
(He'd probably have lost more if he didn't indulge liberally in
fat-free sweets :-) .) Everntually he gave this diet up as too
difficult to follow.

I tried it a few years ago and have his book. Basically it is vegan (no
animal products at all) and extremely low-fat (you must keep your calories
from fat to under 10%).

Also you are supposed to do meditation.

My favorite quote from the book: "Does this diet really help you live
longer? Or does it just SEEM longer?"
