Protein calories for weight loss

Prepackaged, portion controlled, protein calories are the best way to lose weight. Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt calories are on the package. Canned chicken and canned tuna calories are on the tin. You need 75-120 grams of protein a day, depending on your age, sex, health and activity level. Predigested liquid protein contains 15 grams […]

500-600 calories a day, protein only

If you can’t get your calories down to 500-600 protein only calories a day, you are probably not going to stay on your diet consistently enough to lose weight. Weight loss has to be rapid, or you are not going to put up with the deprivation. 3000 calories a day are alot more fun than […]

Rule based diets don’t work – without limiting calories

Unless you limit calories, most rule based diets don’t work. Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet doesn’t work for most patients. It’s way too easy to eat way to much meat and fruit – so you don’t lose weight fast enough to put up with the deprivation. Paleo Diets don’t work for most patients. […]

It doesn’t matter what the protein is – chicken, cottage cheese, fish, eggs, beef, pork, lamb, veal, etc. Don’t eat any carbs, […]

You’ve got to count calories on a low carb diet

If you are following a low carb diet and trying to lose weight, you’ve got to start counting calories, or put in place some portion control or dead animal rules – or you probably won’t lose any weight. A slab of ribs from Outback is 3000 calories. IHOP doesn’t sell an omelet with less than […]

Fake foods for weight loss

The advantage of fake foods is that they regulate your calorie and protein intake, to maximize weight loss. The pre-digested liquid protein I use in the office contains 60 calories and 15 grams of protein per serving. The strawberry banana smoothie I use contains 100 calories and 20 grams of protein. The diet wafers I […]

Maintenance vs Weight loss
