Part 5/10:
3. Implementing the High-Protein, Low-GI Approach
The narrator shopped for suitable ingredients—onions, apples, green beans, low-fat ground beef, chicken, beans, yogurt, and cottage cheese—all rich in protein and low GI. Their first meal blended cottage cheese and eggs, defying initial doubts, but ultimately turning out satisfying.
Despite birthday celebrations with multiple dinners, the diet plan was maintained with determination. They experimented by having protein shakes with water (avoiding added fats or milk), reducing fat intake, and adjusting portion sizes. The diet felt quite restrictive but also surprisingly filling; within just two days, the narrator lost about six pounds.
