Phase 2: The Modified Protein Diet

Level 2: the mixed diet combines protein sachets and natural food proteins. It follows Level 1 and gently begins the reintroduction of foods. You can also start your diet with Level 2 if you wish. With this level, you learn to cook balanced proteins: eggs, fish, and lean meats.

You stay in Level 2 until you have reached 80% of your goal weight loss. If your weight loss goal is 15 kg, you should stay at this Level until you have lost 12 kg. At this stage, the average observed weight loss is -1.5 kg per week.

Allowed foods during the mixed diet phase of the weight loss program

In Phase 2, you consume 1 meal of dietary proteins "natural" at lunch or dinner. Your meal is thus composed of vegetables and a serving of protein: meat, egg, fish, dairy…
In order to choose your dietary proteins well, find below the different serving options.

Natural dietary proteins

You must choose a portion of protein for your lunch or your dinner.

Animal proteins
  • 2 slices of ham (pork, turkey, chicken)
  • 300g of shellfish or seafood weighed shelled (shrimp, shellfish, lobster, crab...)
  • 150g of lean meat (veal, skinless poultry, beef, game, offal) or 1 5% fat ground beef patty

  • 150g of shellfish and 150g of 0% fat cottage cheese
  • 100g of white fish topped with a sauce made with 1 0% fat yogurt, herbs, curry, mustard, etc...

Allowed vegetables during phase 2 of the high-protein diet

For lunch and dinner, your meals are also structured around a specific list of vegetables selected for their very low sugar content. Rich in fiber, they also help maintain good transit.

The vegetables will be consumed raw and/or cooked, plain or seasoned, varying as much as possible from one meal to another:

  • GROUP 1 (to be consumed freely, but without excess, about one plate per meal): Asparagus, mushrooms, raw or cooked green cabbage, cooked Romanesco cabbage, raw or cooked cauliflower, broccoli, cooked celery, cucumber, raw or cooked spinach, cooked leek, raw or cooked Swiss chard, radish, salads, watercress, gherkin, green bell pepper, cooked artichoke, cooked zucchini.
  • GROUP 2 (to be limited to 200g per day, or 100g per meal): Raw or cooked white cabbage, celeriac, eggplant, bean sprouts, raw or cooked endive, red cabbage, green beans, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, tomato, cooked Brussels sprouts, turnip, cooked spaghetti squash, butternut squash, pumpkin, raw or cooked kale.

Cooking and seasoning my meals during the high-protein diet

At this phase, you must avoid foods that are too high in calories, too fatty or too sweet. The high-protein diet is a low-calorie diet based on meal replacements, and to properly control your calorie intake, certain rules must be followed.

Seasonings and cooking methods can quickly become a puzzle if you're not used to cooking without fat. For example, for cooking your lean meats, you can consider marinades, foil packets, woks…

Vegetables, like meat, should be cooked with the minimum amount of fat possible. You can use one tablespoon of olive oil per meal, which will allow you to prepare a wok or accompany a salad. Regarding seasonings, certain oils are allowed. Salt, pepper and spices can also enhance certain dishes so that you can enjoy meals that bring you pleasure.

Many recipes are possible, which is why we have prepared an article for you to learn how to cook properly during your protein diet. These preparations for your foods will allow you to limit fats and thus help you lose your excess weight.

After Phase 2 of the Cetofine 21 high-protein diet

When you have reached 80% of your weight loss goal, you begin Stage 3. This way, you will return to a structured breakfast and protein-rich snacks.

In any case, the weight loss program should neither be interrupted nor stopped abruptly. Abruptly stopping the diet without following Stages 3 and 4 will lead to weight regain.

You can stay in Stage 2 until you have reached 80% of your weight loss goal. If your initial goal is to lose 15 kg, you should move to stage 3 when you have lost 12 kg.
However, if you wish, you can start Stage 3 earlier. You can use Stage 1 or 2 to kick-start your rapid weight loss, then move to Stage 3 as soon as you want to reintegrate breakfast.
