My scars were healed by my two week follow up visit.  At 3+ years I have to search to find them.  I have been blessed.  No special treatments.  Just moisturize, aloe & coco butter when I remembered.

COURTESY OF MsKimB

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.

Menu ideas for the protein train:
Breakfast ideas:

Egg and cheese omelet
Egg white omelet
Egg, cheese, and meat omelet
Boiled eggs
Turkey bacon (or beef or pork)
Chicken sausage (or turkey or beef or pork)

Snack Ideas:

Deli turkey slices with cheese rolls
Deli ham
Protein shakes
Pork rinds
Beef jerky
Turkey jerky
egg salad
Chicken Vienna sausage (or pork)

Lunch ideas:

Tuna salad

Grilled chicken breast
Steak or steak and eggs
Turkey burger with cheese and mayo/mustard (or beef)
Ground turkey with melted velveeta cheese
Pork chop
Baked fish

Dinner ideas:
Cajun shrimp
All of the lunch ideas

Collard greens
Turnip greens
Kale
Mustard greens
Spinach
Rack of lamb
Veal
Lamb chops
Turkey chop
Roast beef (no gravy)

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.

See Protein Train link in my accountability post.  I have never in my life lost seven lbs in a week but it is basically an atkins induction type plan.  Details courtesy of MsKim.

Topic: RE: HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY - YOUR PERSONAL AGENDA
I'm find myself not working out as much as I used to. I been so focused on eating right and protein. It seems like if I focus on one thing I lack in the other. I need balance in my life and I'm not sure how to do it yet. I know that will be a self exercise I have to do on my own. Thanks for the post!
