Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Okay, this was sent to me by my surgeon's office, and now that my body no longer thinks it's starving, I'm going to tell it that it needs to get rid of the " bounceback " I got after the tummy tuck (although the patient advocate at my surgeon's office said the 6-10 lbs was NORMAL) 6 1/2 years out. I started this today. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!! JUMP-START HIGH PROTEIN DIET (10-DAY PLATEAU BREAKER) Your first priority is drinking two quarts of water every day for the rest of your life. It is essential to your weight loss and continued good health. You MUST have 120-160 grams of protein supplement and all of your vitamin and mineral supplements each day to maintain adequate protein, vitamin and mineral levels for optimum weight loss. You may consume up to three ounces of the following high protein foods 5 times a day. HIGH PROTEIN FOODS: MEAT Beef Pork Chicken Turkey Lamb Fish OTHER SOURCES Eggs Cheese (low fat) Cottage cheese Yogurt (plain or artificially sweetened) peanut butter Beans You may also have: Sugar free popsicles (avoid Welches or all-fruit juice pops). Stick to artificially sweetened varieties. Tea or coffee sugar free sodas sugar free Jell-O Broths and Bouillons Crystal Lite Drinks If it is not on the list, you may not have it!!!! If you feel hungry between meals, try hot soup stock. Swanson's chicken or beef broth with the fat skimmed off is a good choice. Add your favorite herbs and spices. If you want to add fresh vegetables for flavor, strain before serving. For interesting beverages, try mixing flavored herbal teas with Crystal Lte or diet sodas for new flavors. Keep a diary to keep you on track. Do your best to get 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
