The Skinny School Diet
by Court under Diet
I created The Skinny School Diet because I was exhausted. I knew I was mistreating my body and I couldn’t control my appetite. I started reading research about appetite control and found out my eating was completely wrong. I was making myself hungrier and hungrier every time I ate.
I can tell you that everything has changed for me. I don’t feel hunger like I used to. I discovered that there are foods that take your appetite away, and those foods are the foundation of this diet. This ‘diet’ is 100% sustainable as a lifestyle.
Foundation Of The Skinny School Diet
Starting with healthy proteins, you can eat as much as you want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don’t add a bunch of extra fat while cooking. A small amount of olive oil, coconut oil, or butter is ok. Never add sauces to your protein. Sauces are always some combination of sugars, fats, salt, and/or artificial sweeteners. Salt is ok but I don’t want you getting your salt from sauces.
Healthy Proteins
Poultry:
- Chicken Breast
- Turkey Breast
- Game Hen Breast
- Lean Turkey Burger (under 7% fat)
- Extra Lean Hamburger
- Top Sirloin Steak
- London Broil
- Lean Roasts, etc.
- Any Lean Cut (trimmed of visual fat)
- Pork Chops (trimmed of visual fat)
- Pork Loin
- Pork Loin Roast
- Salmon
- Bass
- Trout
- Halibut
- Cod
- Tilapia
- Tuna
- Any Other Fish
- Shrimp
- Lobster
- Crab
- Crayfish
- Muscles
- Scallops
- Oysters
- Whole Eggs (limit of three per day)
- Egg Whites
Healthy Fats
Eating healthy fat is crucial to your continued success on this diet. It will slow down absorption (crucial) of food and will help you to not feel hungry. The Skinny School Diet without the healthy fat will NOT work, so don’t waste your time.
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Almond oil
- Peanut oil
- Avocados
- Nuts
- Olives
- Butter (real butter only, no fake stuff)
- Egg yolks
- Meaty fats (from steak, pork, etc.)
Add 100-200 calories of healthy fat to every meal. Keep in mind that some proteins already contain the fat you’re trying to add to your meals. For example, egg yolks give you fats, as do steaks and pork.
Vegetables
Eat vegetables in unlimited amounts, at any time of the day. Make sure to eat plenty with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Any vegetable is great, with these exceptions: corn, potatoes, and cooked carrots.
Healthy Carbs
- Sweet potatoes
- Beans (black, pinto, white, etc.)
- Fruit (apples, strawberries, etc.)

Im curious about the exception of carrots for the diet. I eat carrots almost daily and hear they are a solid choice for a vegetable. Why would you exclude those from your diet?
Thanks,
Tommy Gray
Hey Tommy! I should clarify…carrots just aren’t treated like a vegetable by your body. They are treated more like a healthy carb.
You can definitely eat them but you want to eat them as a healthy carb instead of as a vegetable if that makes sense.
If you eat them as a healthy carb, that means you can’t eat an unlimited amount but you can eat them as you would eat sweet potatoes.
What would you count cheese as? Healthy fat as basically the same as butter?
Cheese is definitely not the worst thing you can eat but the dairy proteins aren’t the best thing for you either. Even butter is a lot better for you if it’s clarified. Clarifying butter removes the dairy proteins:

If you’re going to eat cheese, I would make sure that it’s in small amounts. I personally don’t eat much cheese at all. I maybe eat it once a week!
Do you think this diet follows the word of wisdom? All grain is good for the food of man – especially wheat, and meat should be used sparingly.
I personally think the paleo diet is a great diet…except I always have in the back of my mind that it is the opposite of what I have been taught.
I always thought that too … & ate that way. Lots of wheat was included in my diet. And I personally dong like very much meat .
Then, I became ill & I’m also gluten intolerant. Extremely gluten intolerant!!!!!
Thank you for the info! I have been searching for something to help me for a while now, and this is exactly what I needed!!
One quick question regarding sauces: How do you feel about hot sauces like Sriracha and El Pato? And what about homemade vinaigrette dressings on salads, or vinegar in general?
@Jen – I sent you an email.
@Saundra – me too!
@Staci – I haven’t looked at the ingredients of those particular hot sauces but hot sauces in general are usually ok! I used Tobasco a LOT and love it. I also really like homemade vinaigrettes and made them quite a bit. You want to be careful to not use too much because you get a little sugar but it’s not that much. I like to add in a little olive oil to get some healthy fat!
I had the same thought as Jen while reading through your site. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the word of wisdom as it relates to weight control as well, if you’re willing to share.
I’m curious what you told Jen as well
My husband recently started a diet basically the same as this and I’m feeling resistant to parts of it, but am willing to learn more and adapt as I learn. He has lost weight and says he feels better when he eats this way, which are two really good results!
@Jill and Ivan – I sent you both emails!
I have the same question as Jen, Jill and Ivan. While it seems like a healthy plan, it does seem counter to the Word of Wisdom. What are your thoughts?
I’d also love to hear it about the word of Wisdom.
Is this what the Paleo diet basically consists of? So, it’s mostly high protein and not much carbs besides veggies/fruits, right? Is brown rice okay?? I know I need to eat more proteins for sure. It’s very tough to eat it at every meal for some reason.
Hi My chiropractor has recommended I cut carbs to help me loose weight and feel better. I am looking for a good recipe source and a suitable exercise recommendation as I currently have lower back pain. Thanks
Curious too
about words of wisdom. I just stumbled on your website and glad I did. I have been eating 2-3 servings of measured out proteins , 2-3 vegetables, 1-2 fruits, cheese, and 1-2 measured servings of whole grain ( mainly brown rice & whole wheat bread). So sick of not losing! I am turning 43 and keep putting about 3-5 pounds on a year. Currently 185 and 5’8″ and struggle to not gain weight. Can’t drink a beer because I will gain 5-8 pounds in a day or two. Help please if you have advice as to what you think I should do. Tried everything. I am reading your whole site
Hey courtney.. i freakin love your blog!! I have learned to much and i will probably be up all night reading all your entries! So i am also curious about your feelings on the word of wisdom and this diet…. i didn’t even think about that and i have been on the paleo for about a month now so just curious what you think???
