Hi Lidia
Although blueberries are technically a complex carb, what we are talking about is what we would call a "brown" - something like whole grain toast or cereal, or potato with skin. Some good ones for breakfast would be whole grain toast, or oatmeal. I make a protein shake and put raw rolled oats in it. Mosaic, who posts here regularly, has mentioned a breakfast of cottage cheese, berries and toasted oats. I've also made oatmeal with cottage cheese or Greek yogurt and berries stirred in.

: Hi Allison! Thank you for your
: message, it was encouraging! I
: didn't think I was putting too
: much pressure on myself to do it
: all right, but maybe I am because
: I've read the books and have kept
: trying to go on to other steps.
: But what I'm hearing from you and
: others is that, unlike previous
: trials of other 'diets' etc.-to
: take my time and relax until each
: step is natural!
: Regarding breakfast, I've always
: eaten breakfast, just not always
: within one hour, until I read PnP.
: And it has made a great
: difference! My favorite current
: breakfast is one cup of cottage
: cheese with about one cup of
: defrosted (slightly warmed in the
: microwave) frozen blueberries and
: a handful of nuts. I know that
: nuts are a lot of calories so I
: kind of hate to put them on, but I
: know I need the protein,
: especially in the morning, so I
: just do it. And it's good! Good
: for me, too. So I make sure I get
: enough protein (I'm over 200 lbs,
: so I know I need at least 100
: grams of protein). I used to
: measure protein but now I know how
: much one cup of cottage cheese is,
: etc. But do the blueberries count
: as the carb? So I try to eat about
: 30 grams of protein per meal and I
: always have a snack or two
: inbetween, usually one is almonds
: and fruit (apple or pear) and
: another is a cheese stick with
: grainy crackers.
: Anyway, thanks for your support, and
: I enjoyed reading about your
: description of the quilting you
: do.
