Forget the red meat for a while; too hard to digest. Even pork is tough. Stick with chicken, fish, eggs and cheese. 1 cup of cottage cheese has 26 grams of protein. Greek yogurt (don't buy the kind with flavors or fruit, even vanilla has sugar) is packed with protein too. Add a little sugar-free jelly or jam for a yummier taste to the cottage cheese and yogurt. Good luck!

Are you exercising? Walk, ride a stationary bike, dance. My loss has been slow but steady (38 lbs in 3.5 months). But once the swelling in your tummy/midriff goes down you'll see it first in your clothes before you see it on the scale. Stick to the program...it won't fail you!
