"Thin For Good" by Fred Pescatore

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.
