    Hello, my friend suggested I eat a lot of protein to lose weight. I'm eating oatmeal, egg whites with spinach, then tilapia and black beans, then a protein shake with a rice cake, baked chicken and broccoli every 2-3 hours. I have been doing this for 3 weeks almost and I have lost 7 pounds so far!!! I am getting burned out of eating the same stuff everyday. Is there any other way to lose weight without eating this day in and day out? I need help please!!!!!! : /

    No, you get to eat whatever you want. Your menu appears tasty, though!

    Congrats on losing 7 pounds!

    I normally have the same breakfast and lunch Monday to Friday but that's cause I like the routine of it.

    That's me to a "T"....I thrive on routine and it takes much of the thought/angst out of choosing/planning what to eat.

    Why on earth would you think something like that? I'm genuinely curious!?!

    Because my friend lost a lot of weight by following a high protein diet and eating 6x a day. I have lost 7 pounds so far by following that same plan. I was wondering is this the only way to lose weight is by eating lots of protein all the time, because I'm getting burned out already!

    Of course you don't have to eat the same thing every day!

    By the way, neither oatmeal nor rice cakes are high in protein.
