Diet Recovery Strategy: The Protein Day
By Heather Bauer, RD, CDN | May 2008 | SUBSCRIBE | VIEW ARCHIVE

A Protein Day is a super-effective tool that will help you re-set your eating patterns.  (It’s described in detail on page 87 of The Wall Street Diet)  It’s nothing complicated but it’s surprisingly effective.  My clients especially like to use it after a trip or a vacation where they’ve overindulged.  A Protein Day is just what it says: a day where you eat primarily protein.  For example, breakfast might be 2 eggs, any style, or a 4 to 6-egg-white vegetable omelet.  Lunch could be a grilled chicken, fish or any protein over greens with a very, very light dressing.  Dinner would be the same as lunch plus perhaps some steamed vegetables.  These meals are filling and readily available anywhere.  A Protein Day will get you back on diet track.
