Title says it all.
I need a menu that is simple. I am fine with eating the same things most days. The simpler, the better. I know a heavily restricted diet isn’t sustainable longterm. I’m just trying to jumpstart things and see what might yield even modest results so my dress isn’t as tight as it currently is (fits, but fits very snug even with spanx). I have 40-50 days. WWYD? PS - I’m a 50 year old woman whose metabolism changed dramatically after a hysterectomy. I don’t really snack and I don’t eat big meals. I only drink black coffee and water (occasionally have a Diet Coke). No wine or booze. I enjoy chocolate and sugar, but not in large quantities. |

I’m not kidding: would Slim Fast work? One for breakfast, one for lunch and a healthy dinner. Water and multivitamin, too.
This was my go-to in the late 80s as a college student. |

| Or just boost protein for lunch and dinner and a big salad around 11am |

| Carnivore gets a lot of hate here but it would absolutely work for you in this situation. |

This is a great menu, I would add some berries to the yogurt and maybe a scoop Of protein powder as well. |

A "great menu" is literally just eating a piece of salmon for a meal? Add in a side of vegetables at least, my goodness. |

| I would add broccolini or artichoke or similar to the salmon and also have raspberries/blueberries/blackberries at least after dinner or with snack and a kiwi or more berries with lunch. I’d also switch the dressing to a vinaigrette. I might also lower the Parmesan and switch the calories to put chia seeds in the yogurt. |

No breakfast. Eat after 12 pm and before 6 pm. Make a salad, add grilled/sauteed salmon or chicken on it.
Water, celery juice, and lots of moving the rest of the time. |

Eat only 2 low cal meals a day. Yoghurt and fruit eaten at 10am, then say a banana and 6 almond halves or walnut halves/peices around 4pm, then a veg/tofu stirfry with 1/4 cup short grain rice at 6pm. No alcohol, processed foods, meat, dairy, eggs, butter, bread, or carbonated beverages. You can drink water flavor with lemon, lime or citrus slices. Cut into wedges, but into a reusable bag, and pop in the freezer.
You could exercise but I would keep it light since you are simply looking to release the weight and not gain anything. The goal is keeping your calories at 1200. No more than that or you will absolutely not lose the weight at your age in the time frame you desire. Good luck! |

This is too much food to lose the amount of weight OP wants at her age. Eating two eggs at one meal is never healthy either. I've always served 1 per person. Actually where I grew up it was standard for women to always be served one egg, only small children and men were served 2. |

While destroying their gut microbiome in the process. Once you eat all meat for any amount of time it is VERY hard to return to a normal diet because you will no longer have the bacteria in your gut to help you break down your food. |
