Protein train rules

On the BAF (Black American Family) board they have this protein train that they are always taking. From lurking around I see that it works for a lot of them. I just thought I would pass it on to us DEC babies. I don't know how good I'll be at it. I know I am already going to cheat and we haven't even left the station. Why? I love strawberries and it is nearing the end of the season. I just bought some and no way am I tossing them! I have to admit before WLS I would have bought several packages at a time and just finished them off in a day. Now I buy one package and it usually goes bad before I finish them. AND I am eating them with nothing added thats a wow for me. Just thought I would pass this on if any is interested. No I don't want to drive the train. We would all jump the tracks with me up in the engine. Protein Train Rules Here are the rules: The train ride is for seven (7) days. The goal is to put your body in ketosis and burn fat. Therefore, you must STAY BELOW 20g of carbs PER DAY. Go to google.com to read about ketosis. On this train ride, you CAN NOT eat: - Bread of any kind (bagels, crackers, waffles, pancakes, toast, wheat bread, white bread, rye bread, pumpernickel, sourdough - you get the picture). - Rice - Potatoes (white or sweet) - Flour - Gravy - Beans - Sweets (cakes, pies, candy, cookies, M&M's or anything in this family) - Fruit nor fruit juices - Nuts (pecans, brazil nuts, walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts or anything in this family) - More than one (1) green, leafy, vegetable You CAN eat: - Any meat (read the labels because some meats have carbs) - Jerky - Eggs - Cheese - One green, leafy vegetable per day (collards, turnips, kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, bibb lettuce) BROCCOLI AND GREEN BEANS DO NOT FALL IN THIS CATEGORY. - Protein shakes (read the labels) - Protein bars (read the labels) - As much water (or other SF, Sodium free, calorie free, caffeine free, carbonation free beverage) as you can hold. NO BENDING THE RULES!!! The next train is on 24 July 06 on the BAF board

Sounds like a good idea butttttt I think I'll wait till fall and the fresh tomato season is over. Oh yeah and watermelon, cantalope, and honeydew. I love fruit. But you're right, I eat it at a MUCH slower pace than before. Grapes used to be a big problem for me but now I freeze them and eat, at the most, 2 a meal. I do think I'll be able to make that train commitment in September, tho. Corrine
