If you don’t want to do a Meat Only Diet, there are non-meat alternatives that work almost as well. Eat up to a pound of cottage cheese a day. Eat up to a pound of Greek yogurt a day. Eat up to a pound of non-fat yogurt a day. Eat up to a pound of ricotta cheese a day. Eat up to a dozen eggs a day. Eat up to half a dozen packages of Egg Beaters a day. Drink your gallon of water or non-caloric fluid a day, drink your 2 bouillon cubes a day – and lose 5 pounds a week.
