Want to do a Protein Train tomorrow?

Hey All! After reading the post from Nannette I have decided many of us are in the same boat. So..........why not help each other out by doing a protein train tomorrow? I am not completely sure how they work though. Anyone want to post how we should/could do it and everyone post who wants to hop on board? Hugssss Theresa

12 pounds, hell??? LMAO.. I can top that.. but lets not go there. I'm with ya gal! You give up your pringles, and I'll give up the s/f cookies, and we'll get there! Wendy

All aboard.. i'm there! Wendy

This is wonderful! I came here today for this very reason! I'm 2 1/2 years post op and am recently up3-5 lbs. It's gotta go now or it will be 25 by Friday. When I was really fat I didn't believe people that said they gained 2 lbs and 'could feel it'. Well I do feel it and I don't like it one bit. I'm in..or on as the case were. So what do we do? Who know the rules of the train?

You going to do all protein shakes or just protein general? Darlene

I will have to do a mix of Unjury in my fat free hotcocoa (cant get enough of it) and cheese and meat. I am too addicted to food not to be munching on it. Is there anything else that needs to be done? This might be very hard, but like someone else said, I am going to take it one day at a time! Hugss Theresa

From what I remember (lately not much) you do protein only with your usual water, vitamins etc...you can only do this for a 3 day stretch at a time... Darlene Good Luck

Theresa, I'm with you... I'll make it part of my morning vow tomorrow! Do you think what you're talking about could be the following plan? ======== #1 Do this for 10 days to break plateau #2 Drink 2 quarts of water a day #3 You must have 45 grams of protien supplement and all your vitamin & mineral supplements each day #4 you may consume up to 3 oz. of the following high-protein foods, 5 times a day: ? beef ? pork ? chicken ? turkey ? lamb ? fish ? eggs ? low-fat cheese ? cottage cheese ? plain yougurt or artificially sweetetened, ? peanut butter ? beans/legumes You may also have: ? sugar free popiciles ? tea or coffee ? sugar free sodas ? sugar free jello ? broths and bullions ? crystal lite drinks #6 IF IT IS NOT ON THE LIST YOU CANNOT HAVE IT FOR 10 DAYS #Keep a food diary and try to get up to 30 minutes of exercise daily. ============ That's about as close to a "protein train" plan that I've seen.

Dee Dee, I'm late posting but I'm hopping on the train.. but please do me a favor. Post the rules EVERYDAY as a reminder. I have to be reminded often, and who knows, someone else may want on the train tomorrow (or the next day) and need the rules, too. Gina

I'm hopping on too so I'll post the "rules" under my morning vow post. Glad to know you're on board with us too! DD
