Hey guys,

Maybe we can do it together??? Here's the info I had on it:



Protein Train It's always suggested for you to check with your nutritionist before trying this...especially newbies.

eta - It's also not a good idea to follow this for long periods of time since you will be depriving your body of all carbs.  * I * follow it for a week , then come off for a few days before restarting.


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.

IM IN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I would definitely like to try this,, my rny was about two years ago.
My doctor refuses to let anyone use protein shakes,, he believes
you should get all your protein from foods.  But,, I'm thinking of
doing a little each day any way.  Some time if I don't feel like eating,
I'll have a bottle of chocolate Boost.,, I love that stuff.,, I stick it in
the freezer,, it's great.  The only problem I've had from this surgery
is "fainting",  but I know the cause, and the cure. 

Thank you, TaLisha for the protein train info.  OKay so I say that we all get ready to start Monday, 9/21/09.
