Hi Joy
Thanks for replying

I bought the book and did the calculation and according to my weight 42 grams is what I should be eating at each meal but I am never going to make that. I'm trying to be vegan so I'm not eating meat and to get that amount of protein in through eggs and beans...
I'm feeling like I'm going to pop! SO I was wondering if I could eat less protein... I'm only concentrating on breakfast now but at the quantity of food I'm never going to get to eating 3 meals a day.

I'm from South Africa but hae a conversion chart so will be fine - thank you

I started on Sunday and even though I am feeling absolutely stuffed from breakfast I'm not getting tired in the afternoon. Could that be as a result of the massive amounts of protein for breakfast? Can it work that quickly or am I doing a mind over matter?

Thank you so much for the support!

Kind regards
Chantell

: Chantell,

: Glad to see you here with us!

: You might want to work your way up --
: 42 grams of protein sounds pretty
: high.

: The food's label will tell you how
: much protein per serving and how
: big a serviing is. Just as a
: guideline, I figure 6 grams of
: protein for an egg, 7 grams for an
: ounce of meat and 8 grams for an
: ounce of fish or cheese. If you're
: from the UK and don't do ounces,
: then holler help and someone else
: will give you the numbers

: In the beginning, it's best to just
: focus on breakfast -- find 25 or
: 30 or so grams of protein and add
: what we call a brown -- a serving
: of a whole grain something or some
: potatoes with skins or beans or
: brown rice maybe.

: It's a wonderful program to take slow
: and easy. Healing doesn't happen
: fast, so take your time working
: through the steps and enjoy the
: process (and the community!)
