THE PROTEIN TRAIN IS IN THE STATION: ALL ABOARD!
Many of us longer term wls folks are moving back into active wl mode right now. For the low carbers out there, here are the instructions for the Protein Train courtesy of MsKim. I don't know the original source of this diet but details are also among the links on the daily accountabiity thread.
This plan is just another way to kick start weightloss comparable to atkins induction. Everything is not for everyone but the decision is all yours. As with everything I post feel free to take what you want and leave the rest.

Below are the rules for the Protein Train. It's done to jump start wl after stalls/falling off/whatever. Just a tool used to get you back on track or if you have the need to lose weight quickly for something.
It's always suggested for you to check with your nut/surgeon 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.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Buy one get one on beef, pork, chicken last week so my freezer is stocked and ready.
I'm a sad case cause I wanted fried wings (this place dredges them in flour) and my ff lays light chips. I should have started today.
Now if I can keep myself from buying a piece of dark chocolate. I am pathetic today.

I've lost track of how many times fat smash has smashed me. I will try again in February but right now I have bloating to get rid of and that means near zero carbs.
Seems my body responds to high fat/ high protein/ low carb ketogenic eating. I guess its my version of the fat smash. I've done a few experiments and its shown promise each time when even atkins induction was not doing a thing.
Damn. This means no fruit and very limited veg plus added fat which I am not thrilled about. The taste of many fats does not thrill me. Ho hum, but whatever it takes to get back into my "goal" pants and stay there.
Crazy but luv fruit/ veg as I do, most "good" carbs cause me swelling. Yet that bad old fat combined with protein gives me more energy, better skin & hair, and less inflamatory and edema issues. Here's to a lifetime of eating stuff I can't stand. But if it gets me and keeps me slender... you know I'm living it.
Here I come ketosis. Pushing for the purple!
I'm doing high protein, low carb but right now still doing nuts and keeping carbs below 50 and calories low too. So far doing ok, day three.
With 
I will succeed.
