BASIC RULES OF THE STILLMAN QWL DIET
(from the original book, published in 1967)
Eat all you wish of the following foods to satisfy hunger. If you eat until you've satisfied your hunger but haven't stuffed yourself, and then feel hungry before the next meal, you can eat again but only from the foods listed here. In fact, you're better off eating smaller meals 6 times a day than 3 bigger meals as a general custom. But you must limit yourself to this extensive selection of high protein foods.
1. LEAN MEATS, with all possible fat trimmed off. Includes beef, lamb and veal. Eat it broiled, boiled, baked or smoked. No butter, margarine, oil or other fats or greases are to be used either in the cooking or the eating.
2. CHICKEN AND TURKEY, with all skin and visible fat removed. Broiled, boiled or roasted, with no butter, margarine, oil or other fats or grease. Young fowl is preferable, but not necessary.
3. ALL LEAN FISH AND SEAFOOD, such as flounder, haddock, cod, perch .. shrimps, scallops, lobster, oysters, clams and crab. Broiled, baked or boiled. No butter, margarine, oil or other fats or grease permitted in preparation or eating. You may have cocktail sauce, horseradish, ketchup in moderation *note: moderation = 1 tsp/5 ml
4. EGGS, hard-boiled preferably. Also soft or medium boiled, poached or any type of fried eggs made in non-stick pans without butter, margarine or other fats or oils.
5. COTTAGE CHEESE, FARMER CHEESE, POT CHEESE, and other cheeses made with skim milk. No whole milk cheeses.
6. AT LEAST 8 GLASSES OF WATER DAILY, absolutely essential! As much as you want of coffee and tea without cream, milk or sugar. You may sweeten with non-caloric sugar-substitute to taste. Enjoy all the club soda, vichy water and non-caloric carbonated beverages you wish, as often as desired.
However, the 8 glasses of water daily are in addition to whatever coffee, tea or non-caloric beverages you drink. This is an integral part of the specific internal process put in motion by the Quick Weight Loss Diet. Much more of your body fat is burned up than with most other diets. This leaves in its wake the waste products or ashes of burnt fat (= ketones ). They must all be washed out of your system by water which also serves to relieve any unpleasant dryness and taste in the mouth.
You may use common seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic, cloves, thyme, other herbs and spices, cocktail sauce, tabasco sauce, horseradish, ketchup. Don't use any creamy or oily sauces or dressings. No mayonnaise, no salad dressings, no fats or oils.
It is desirable to take vitamins daily with the diet, such as a once-daily multiple vitamin and mineral tablet.
NOTHING ELSE IS PERMITTED ON THIS DIET --- NOTHING!
IF IT'S NOT MENTIONED IN THE PRECEDING LIST, DON'T EAT IT OR DRINK IT. The addition of any other food or drink will prevent the full and efficient functioning of the high protein internal reducing process which burns up more fat.
