"Thin For Good" by Fred Pescatore



Recommended Posts

Does anyone own this book? I can not find mine, and my local library does not have it.

I am just wondering what the portions are for "post-menopausal" women are.

I think it is 2 oz in am, 4 oz at lunch, and 8 oz at dinner with 3 cups of veggies a day. But want to be sure...

Ok, so I bought the book. It sounds like a good plan to stick with, so I am going to try it tomorrow.

Here is the plan for the most restricted version of this diet plan:

These are Maximum things on this plan:

2 oz Protein in am, 4 oz at lunch, and 8 oz at dinner

3 cups of loosely packed veggies or 1/2 cup cooked veggies a day.

You can have 1 oz soft cheese, 2 oz hard cheese,

1 tbs heavy cream, 3 tbs butter, 3 tbs mayo, 4 tbs, Mustard,

5 nuts,

3 eggs (not considered in Protein category).

Everyone should take Vitamins, and he recommends:

Multivitamin

Chromium 200mg x 4 times day

Essential Fatty Acids, like Omega 3 and Primrose oil

coq10 300 mg a day, spread out

Lipoic Acid 100-300 mg day

Carnitine 1500 to 3000 mg day

And then he goes on to recommend various Vitamins for Men and Women depending on health issues.

He has a great daily section on dealing with head issues. The book is worth a peek just for that. If you have a library that gives you access to e-books they have it online.

Hope this helps someone!

I tried this today and could not eat everything allowed. I was not hungry all day, so I guess it is going to work for me... for now. I like clearly defined instructions. :love:

Will let you know how it goes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
