PROTEING TRAIN RIDE

I found it from a old post. This is how it works if anybody is interested in doing it. I haven't done it in years but I do remember it working and that's all that matters to me. (We would start on a Sunday and report everyday the next morning what you had for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and what you had to drink) Weigh in Saturday and report what you loss. You can go on a week or 2 week ride.

Remember the rule of the Train!  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.

Remember to get in at least an extra 8 ozs of water during the ride to allow your body to get rid of the fat that will be flushed out of your system.

Enhance your ride by doing some sort of activity today.

Let me know if you are interested in doing this and if so, we all can get together and take a ride on one starting Sunday, 9/16. That's if this isn't already going on and I just don't know about it.           (spread the word) about the PROTEIN TRAIN RIDE!

Well this sound like a nice train ride but since I'm just a few months out I better stick to the protein train ride. When you get more info let me know..Thanks once again!

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.

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.

Count me in!

Count me out.   Low carb turns me into a *****  Becca calls it the Low Carb High Anger diet.
