Hello, in response to your question on protein, from what I understand, and I could be wrong, you only need approximately 25g of protein per meal. It sounds like what you were attempting was a little too much. Great protein options for breakfast could be a protein smoothie, (pea protein, hemp, pumpkin seed protein, or whey if you have no issues digesting lactose) with berries and oatmeal, cottage cheese with nuts and berries and some sprouted bread, chai pudding with walnuts and berries, 2 egg omelette with veggies and potatoes with skin, Greek yogurt with nuts and berries and oatmeal, turkey sausage with sprouted bread and fruit. Hopefully some of these suggestions are helpful.

Hello, I'm new here. I read
: "Potatoes Not Prozac"
: years ago, but got derailed
: somewhere along the way. I can't
: even remember if I ever started
: the program. I got caught up in
: the Keto and Paleo movements,
: which haven't worked for me, and
: in one case actually put me in the
: ER with low potassium.

: I feel blessed that I've found RR
: again. I've only recently realized
: that while I thought I was eating
: healthy, I was really just eating
: "healthy" versions of
: the junk foods I've been addicted
: to in the past. I'm amazed how I
: fooled myself into thinking I was
: doing good, when I was really just
: doing what I've always done,
: feeding my addiction.

: I've decided not to lie to myself
: anymore and start on RR today. I
: know it will take time, but I'm
: committed to seeing this through
: and hoping for the best.

: My first question is this...I tried
: to get 40g of protein in today,
: but just couldn't do it. I'm used
: to eating breakfast, but not so
: much food. I had three eggs, 1/4 c
: cheese, and 3 bacon. I couldn't
: eat all of it and even then it
: only comes to 32g of protein.

: Does it just take time to get used to
: so much food, or are there other
: ways to get it in? Any advice is
: appreciated.
