True vs False

Ok here goes, I haven't been taking my protein for about 3-4 days now. It was told to me that lack of proper protein can cause weight plateaus. Do you guys know if this is true or not? ***almost 3 months post op on 01/18/2008***

very true............

I'm gonna go with.....true?

Strictly medically speaking, possibly not 100% true - maybe more about what you are eating instead...BUT, from my experience and many others: ABSOLUTELY TRUE!

First, let me start by saying a plateau is when you do not lose pounds OR inches for FOUR weeks or longer. The scale not moving a day, or a week is not a plateau! I am going to say true AND false... lack of proper protein will not cause the weight plateau... lack of proper NUTRITION can cause a weight plateau... not eating enough, eating too much, eating unbalanced can all contribute to a plateau.. you could consider lack of protein not eating enough because you arnt getting enough calories, or lack of protein eating unbalanced if you are making up for the calories elsewhere.

I really do appreciate all that have contributed on the subject.  I am currently taking the New Whey protein which is 42g and i eat pieces of chicken, turkey, or beef jerkey throughout the day. My only concern is, I have my 3 months post check up on the 01/18/2007 and I want to loose more weight before then. I started at 355 and now I am at 297 as of this morning coming from the gym. So, thats a rough 19.3 lbs a month give or take. I am currently at a plateau and it won't let me go.LOL!! but i am serious. This is my typical day:

**I'm on the run early in the mornings for those widened eyes***I drink water all throughout the day*

1:00pm----New Whey Protein 42g

3:00pm- 4-5 Baked Doritos

4:00pm- Grilled chicken wra(lettuce,tomatoe,ff cheese,grilled chicken,bbq sauce)
5:30pm-- 1 or 2 bites of the wrap
6:00pm-- bite of the wrap
9:00pm---throw the remainder of the wrap away.

****any advice/comments give are greatly appreciated****
