Isn't it rather high in carbs? 5 carbs per 1/2 cup...as I thought that it is to be a "no carb diet"..??

Also, is it just me b/c everytime I try and click on a link for the "doctor's quick weight loss diet" or "stillman diet" I can't find any info on the net??


Thanks!
Jess

Anyone?? I have the older version of the book and was curious as to why he allows cottage cheese...please bump!

Hi! I don't know that much about the Stillmans diet. but I think in the revision of the Atkins diet Cottage Cheese is allowed on Induction also. So, maybe it is for people that can handle the cheeses in their diets without stalling.
After all low carb includes cheeses and that is what cottage cheese is, a form of cheese.
I hope you find your answer.
Good Luck

Fab-Thank you for responding! I am going to continue to check it out

The Stillman Quick Weight Loss diet is not a low carb diet per se, it's a low CALORIE diet that consists of lean protein, a few seasonings and zero-calorie beverages and that's about it. The original plan allowed ketchup, cocktail sauce, mustard, lemon and lime juice (in reasonable amounts, of course ), absolutely no fats or oils to be used, meats trimmed of every speck of fat, skin off poultry, leanest types of fish only. It was specified that the cottage, farmers or pot cheese was to be made from skim milk, not whole. Actually, any skim milk cheese was allowed, but I assume he meant natural cheese, not imitation fat-free cheese.
