Alright ladies……

My mom and I started going to a weight loss clinic. lots of great reviews even from My PCM!! Anyhow, during the 3 day detox I lost 3 pounds. The following 3 weeks I lost 3 pounds a week. Last week I GAINED 4!!! They beleive it is because I haven't gotten enough protein in and I'm retaining water do to an impending period.
This is a high protein low cal lifestyle. Now I drink the protein shakes and try to eat meat but it's kind of hard.
Any suggestions for a high protein meal? When I say high protein I'm supposed to get AT LEAST 150 grams a day.

3 egg omelet and/or 4-6 oz. grilled salmon
(I do not recommend smoked salmon or lox on the three-day diet because of the salt intake)

½ cup cooked oatmeal (not instant)
(Cooked oatmeal is a great source of fiber, low glycemic carbohydrates)

2” wedge of cantaloupe or 1/3 cup fresh berries
(Cantaloupe is very hydrating to the skin and contains important antioxidants – blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries are high in antioxidants)

No Juice, No Coffee or Toast
(If you normally drink large amounts of coffee, drink black or green tea to prevent caffeine withdrawal)

8-12 oz. spring water
(Per meal)
