Are there any savory high protein, low carb protein bars? I don't think it helps any of us to supplement our protein by eating things like "chocolate mint" or "birthday cake". My doc/dietician gave me only dessert-like options.
Regular exercise and proper diet can help you to reduce weight. Cut back on
Cut back on sugars and starch, eat protein, fat, vegetables, drink a lot of water and have a good sleep.
Hi all- I'm attempting to get back on track after falling off and having some regain. Nut told me to eat what I ate 6 weeks post op, but that was 2 years ago. It seems like all I can remember to eat is yogurt, egg salad, canned chicken, jello, broth, etc.
PLEASE share some favorite recipes with me. I can eat pretty much everything and am looking for some good recipes that my hubs can eat too, but are high protein enough to really help me get restarted on my journey.
THANKS!!
I have been mixing vegetables with my protein. For instance, I blend cucumber and celery with Greek yogurt and then mix in smoked salmon. Or I have soup with cooked vegetables. On Friday, I made a Shepherd's Pie with a topping made out of cauliflower and ricotta instead of potatoes.

I'd recommend this book and his videos as well. The book can be read with kindle unlimited on amazon right now.
Just eating protein has always filled me up so much I've had a hard time adding in veggies. I'm trying really hard to keep my carbs low, and at 4.5 months out I'm still only able to manage 4 oz (1/2 cup) of solid protein at a time unless it's something soupy or saucy, so no room for veg.
As much as I love my veggies (former carboholic to the Nth degree!), I resigned myself to the fact that I'll have to wait until maintenance when I can up my calories and carbs a little before I can really add in veggies on a regular basis.
Others seem to be able to do it this early on, but I'm focused on reaching my goal, and then will make changes at that time.

How did you get in vegetables when just getting in protein in the soft food phase was difficult? Or did you wait until the regular food phase to eat them?

New study says broccoli helps to combat obesity.
"Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and kale. Researchers with Kanazawa University has found that sulforaphane helped reduce weight gain in mice fed a high-fat diet by 15%. The team also found that the nutrient helped reduce visceral fat - the abdominal fat that surrounds the organs and is most detrimental to health."
Does this mean I should be consuming broccoli several times a week? How often do you use broccoli?
Thank you all for responding to my question. I ended up calling my Dr. and asking if i could do the cabbage diet, and they said absolutely not. I have to go back to protein protein protein, and veggies, then fruit. Keeping a food journal is also something I am going to start to do again too. I wish I could exercise like I use to, but my pain from my fibromyalgia just makes it impossible. the constant pain is just unbearable. So, I am going to do as you all have said, and go back to the basics, start from the beginning, and not worry about losing the weight so fast (I was considering starving myself), so, thank you friends with your words of help and encouragement.
