Hi Georgina,

Here are two links to details about Dr. Stillman's Quick Weight Loss Diet :

http://www.lowcarb.org/stillman.html or

http://members.tripod.com/~Dietman2/stillman.html

Basically, it is lean protein only. The two sites above are the exact program to follow, if the food isn't on the list, you don't eat it AT ALL. It's not easy to stick to, from a boredom point of view, but a high-protein "fast" like this would have a good levelling effect on blood sugar and insulin swings.

I'm gearing myself up to give it a try soon too. I tried it once before and could only last 4 days, I craved broccoli, of all things

I will look into the fine details further because I'd like to also know about taking vitamin & mineral supplements, or using the zero-carb whey protein shakes as a meal replacer. I promise to post here again what I find out.

'bye, from Doreen
