Hey you all, I have the protein power edition from 1996 and i was wondering whether there have been any important updates. sorry if this has been asked and answered before..
I read the excerpts and see the PP is not that different from South Beach, but I got confused when I read that grains and legumes are to be avoided. Do you not eat any bread/oatmeals, or beans? I am thinking of moving over more to the PP side as grains have always set a hypoglycemic episode for me – even on the South Beach. The most I can have is a thin cracker and I have to be sure to pair it with tuna salad or some other protein. I am supposed to get the book from the library today, but we had a snow delay that is throwing everything off. I also recently got diagnosed as hypothryoid, so I’ sure some of the weight I’ve gained can be attributed to that. I have only gained 10lbs, but this last year south beach was not working for me.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I first want to thank everyone who participates on these forums as they provide so much needed information. I can’t tell you how many hours I have spent through these forums finding the information I need. Now on to my question (yes, I am finally going to ask one, stepping out of my comfort zone here)
I have been doing atkins for quite some time and have just found myself stalled for months. After doing much reading on Dr. Eades blog I am going to try to stir things up a bit and see what I get. I bought the book, know my lbm is 114 I know I am to eat at least 70 grams of protein daily. I am not sure about the fat intake, I know with atkins it wasn’t about calories just carbs and make sure you get enough fat. What I am trying to find out is what is the percentage of fat that I should incorporating?
After reading his blog: Low carb and calories on May 27, 2008 I have decided to do to protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and then just my usual meat and veggies for dinner. I know in his blog he says you can do this to jump start your weight loss, and boy do I need it, this stall has been so hard to keep going. I am pretty sure on Atkins I was eating too much cheese and nuts and not watching calories. So he states this in his blog:
"Were I you, I would do what I, myself, do when I gain a little weight and want to get it off. I do protein shakes two or three times per day and one meat meal. With the protein shakes I can control my caloric intake while continuing to get the required protein to maintain lean body mass and prevent a drop off in metabolic rate. Once I get my weight to where I want it, I go back to my regular way of eating, which allows me to maintain pretty well. "
My question would be the meat meal? I can include veggies you think? or is talking just a meat meal like in a meat fast? I have been doing the shakes for breakfast and lunch and having a regular low carb dinner making sure my protein is at least 70 grams. (I am 5′7 and weigh 203lbs with a lbm of 114) My fat intake is fairly low and I know it’s due to the shakes, my husband wants me to add a raw egg in for the fat content but not sure about the warning of raw eggs. although he does it everyday 
Do I not need to be concerned on fat? But I know I am dragging my calories right now are 1200-1400, I try to do a daily walk(I admit I don’t always make it) and work out with a trainer twice a week for 25 minutes. I am going to start incorporating the Slow Burn exercise program starting next week.
Problem right now I jumped on the scale and after doing this for 2 days I went from 203 to 199 YIPPPEE. But I am dragging here. And seriously I don’t even have the energy to go walking. This sucks, I don’t know what else to do. By the way I have lost 86lbs already and been in a stall for 3 months (before the stall I went off my diet for 2 months) I was down to 183 before I went off 
Please any and all suggestions I welcome, Thank you so much!!!!!
Anyone still doing the PPLP?
