62.0. "Stillman Diet Recipes" by SMURF::GANCARZ () Tue Jun 16 1987 14:57

    Like some others here, I've had tremendous success with the Stillman
    Diet, as compared to "balanced" diets.  This past week I'd gone
    on a business trip and really pigged out. (And I'd do it again,
    too! :-)  I gained 4 pounds as a result.  However, I jumped back
    on the Stillman Diet and lost 3 pounds in 1 day; by the end of today,
    which is only my 2nd day back on the diet, I will be back to where
    I was before the trip.
    
    The thing is, I can usually only handle the Stillman Diet for 3-4
    days at a time.  Granted, I generally lose about 4-5 pounds in that
    period, but I'd rather lose much more at a time.  The problem is
    that, even though I like most high protein foods, they all start
    to taste the same after a while.
    
    In an earlier note on "fad" diets, Holly mentioned how she used
    to mix cottage cheese with cinnamon and sweetener.  I tried it today
    and it was *terrific*.  Does anyone else have any other great recipes
    for use with the Stillman Diet?  Here's one of my favorites for
    starters.  It tastes a lot like "buffalo wings":
    
    
    FLYING BUFFALO BREASTS
    
    Ingredients:
    Chicken breast filet (preferably Perdue, as it's lower in calories)
    Durkee Pepper Sauce (or cayenne pepper-based sauce)
    Old Bay Seasoning (or other poultry seasoning)
    
    Coat the chicken filets with the seasoning followed by the pepper
    sauce.  Nuke them for the appropriate time in your microwave oven.
    Let sit about 3 minutes before serving. 
    
    
    With the Stillman Diet you don't count calories--you eat until you
    feel satisfied.  However, a very satisfying 1/2 pound serving of
    the above will be around 260 calories.

    Oh, yeah.  I almost forgot.  Cover the chicken filets with wax paper
    to prevent spattering in the microwave.
