OK...time to get back on track!

The partying is over....spring is on it's way...now it's time to get back on track!

I remember seeing Cookie post about a Protein Train leaving the station Monday, March 2.

Just wanted to remind those wanting to ride to get prepared.  It's a free ride!

Here's the rules for those needing them:

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.

Oh, I forgot to add on the subject of research.....Eating breakfast is extremely important. I had to change the way I was doing things. I would normally drink protein shakes until lunch (not much of a breakfast eater). Now, I try to have breakfast not later than two hours after awakening. Research this
