Eat up to a pound (16 ounces) of protein every day. It doesn’t matter if you eat eggs, cottage cheese, chicken, fish, hamburger, whatever. Eat whatever protein you like. Eat the same protein for at least 2 days in a row. Drink about a gallon (128 ounces) of water or non-caloric fluid (coffee, tea, diet pop) every day day. You’ll lose about 5-10 pounds in a week.
