Additional Information
1. A minimum of 8-10 beverages should be consumed each day, which include water, diet soda, coffee, and tea.
2. In addition, you can have 2-3 generous servings of geletins and 2 servings of broths.
3. The doctor encourages plenty of brisk walking daily.
4. Just one week or less will take off about 10 pounds of overweight. The average is a 1-2 pound loss per day.
5. You don't have to follow the same repetition diet each day. For example, you can do the Banana Diet on Monday, Egg Diet on Tuesday, and Steak/Vegetable Diet on Wednesday...

Yes, the calories are low... 180 to 420... on these diets per day! :eek:

The doctor didn't state how long to stay on these diets, but he did say that a lot of people who don't believe they can make it the whole week end up following these diets a second week.

[COLOR=Red]Please be careful when attempting these diets.[/COLOR]

There are other Stillman ones with higher cal intake. I personally think these are too extreme...this coming from someone who has the book and occassionally alternates with some of his diets. ;)

I agree, his Quick Weight Loss diet is marvelous! :up:

In regard to his Repetition Diets he says, "You may be one of these overweights who can stick with a diet best, and lose weight astonishingly fast, when you're limited to one or two foods a day and eat those foods at every meal. Numbers of my patients have found this the way to dieting success. Since my goal is to help you take off excess pounds quickly and healthfully, I've created a wide choice of Repetition Quick Weight Loss Diets for you."

I got a chuckle out of Stillman's book how he created a new noun -- [COLOR=Blue]Overweights[/COLOR]. It reminded me of the Sugarbusters book that constantly wrote SUGARBUSTERS! every time they wanted to refer to their plan.

Doug~ Yeah, I was laughing at how he calls his patients overweights, too. :laugh: I've used the term several times now. He is pretty dry, although he certainly has a lot of different plans to suit almost everyone. He even has a plan fro Vegetarians that suits Vegans, too. I like the thought of that, although I am loving all this fish, steak, chicken, and shrimp!

I don't have the book. I would like to get it, but in the mean time could you or someone else post the veggie diet?

Doit,
See the STICKY dated 6/22, the second thread in this forum, titled THE INCHES-OFF DIET. That's the vegetarian one. It's a fun change of pace from the high-protein diets.

I did read that one, I just didn't know that was the one. Thanks.

I just noticed that there are some diets missing here....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >
MEAT ONLY DIET:

This diet is limited to a half a pound of any meat wanted, 3 times a day, along with plenty of water and othe non-caloric drinks. For lots of those who like meat very much, this has proved an effective quick reducing diet. On this diet eat only lean meats, only when hungry and only enough to take away the hunger. You'll lose great amounts of fat quickly, safely and surely. **This is a repetition diet-choose only one sort of meat to eat a day.

YOGURT ONLY DIET:

For this diet take 120 calories of yogurt (I would choose no fat-or- lowest in fat...seems to be lowest in carbs) 5 to 6 times a day (total of 600 to 720 calories). You may vary flavors as much as you please, keeping the total calories under 900 daily. If you become constitipated take milk of magnesia to help.

shameless BUMP :blush:

DOIT...it that 1/2 pound of meat the TOTAL for the day, spread out for 3 meals???? or up to 1/2 pound at each meal??

be very careful with this. when you start to eat like normal -weight people do, you will gain it all back. better to switch to 'south beach' diet after 2 weeks. its the way normal people eat

[QUOTE=nataliemurat;8016145]be very careful with this. when you start to eat like normal -weight people do, you will gain it all back. better to switch to 'south beach' diet after 2 weeks. its the way normal people eat[/QU

I see this was ur first post.....and I am assuming maybe ur last???
how can U say the way normal people eat??? The way "normal" people eat is how most of the USA got heavy in the first place......Nothing is wrong with South Beach but this site is for ALL low carb plans not just ONE! No- One PLan works for everyone!! I suggest you read more on the boards, because there are plenty of people here that have done low carbing for years

ouch

[COLOR="Magenta"]What is normal?

Hoops~ Have you done any of these other diets and where did you get your book?[/COLOR]

The longest I did these diets consecutively is 3 days. I did the Egg Diet, the Meat & Vegetable Diet, and the Fish & Tomato Diet.

They are listed in his book The Doctor's Quick Inches Off Diet. I found the copy on Amazon a few years ago.

I believe there was a rumor Renee Zellweger or maybe it was Nicole Kidman(?) did the 3 day egg diet when filming Cold Mountain.

THEY ONLY EAT BOILED EGGS
During the filming of "Cold Mountain," there were rumors that one famous actress on set ate only boiled eggs. She would rise in the morning and eat one and then have one or two at the end of the day.
That was her entire diet. And apparently she is not alone.
Celebrity trainer David Kirsch says, "I had a client who was getting ready for the Oscars and all she ate was one meal a day - of two boiled eggs! I was able to persuade her to add some almonds and a protein shake and some vitamin supplements.
"It's a self-defeating strategy," says Kirsch. "You need to eat enough, particularly protein, to build lean and toned muscle in the first place."

Eggs are kind of gross to me. I've only eaten them in the last maybe 2 or 3 years. Stillman's Repetition Diets can be changed each day, so no need to live off eggs for days. :sick:

So, is this part of the Inches-off diet (as sort of a suggested 'meal-plan' during this phase), or to be used alone for fast slimming?

I'm afraid I'm still very new at all of this *blushes*

I just copied this from a previous post I made some time ago..... :D

I know for me simpler is easier.....but the calories on these seem so low

Interesting diet...need to try this and see if it works for me!

TJ

Find the repititons easy..however I miss the fat munching from 1 month of egg fasting. Noticing with yoghurt/cottage cheese I can SEE results faster, flatter stomach/changes in shape.

Anyways feeling good with them, maybe try some more in a few weeks!

Danceruk, just curious if you are following the quantities he lists in the yogurt diet (5-6 yogurts a day)? Are you hungry? I'm glad it is working out for you! :cool: I love yogurt and cottage cheese, yum.

cottage cheese, usually anywhere between 200-300g a day :weight loss is rapid

Yoghurt 2-4 max I have found. I feel absolutely stuffed after 150g! its hours till I want to see one again!

Three eggs a day.....well you would certainly lose weight quickly that way!

I'm thinking that the egg thing would be good a few days a week alternated with the meat, fish, or chicken plans. I would not want to go very long with so little protein, three eggs is only 21 grams.

Interesting though. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the list, Hoops. I would guess that everyone fashions their own version of Stillman around only a few foods. I'm using smoked turkey, tuna in water, fat free cottage cheese, string cheese, and Eggbeaters. I average perhaps 3-5g of carbohydrate daily.

Good Luck,

Abby......

Get the book .. he has dozens of diets in there.

Thanks for posting!
