: hi carol.
I used to have a lot of pulse based lunches. And found it nice ... Tasty really..... To add cheese or egg or another protein, both for sticking power and also volume. Butter beans au gratin. Or bean pie with topping g of grated cheese. And crumbs. Salad of chopped egg and chickpea. Fave chopped egg and hummus in a cup

I did decrease protein over time, coincidentally it was in step seven, due to weight requirements, I think the message I learnt ( and ongoing g! Lol ) was to listen to my body, and if I'm full, listen and take note for next time.... I'm just saying that for me really as I can ignore that signal quite easily

Step three for you ? I think that step is amazing g for that "listening"

How are you finding step three ?

Hi, I have been following the protein
: way (32 grams per meal) since
: starting RR and wonder, is there a
: time when we taper off this amount
: of protein? Is it after Step 7?
: Eventually, I will lose weight,
: and would think adjusting protein
: comes with that. (By the way I am
: on step 3) I am finding that non
: meat sources of protein (I'm not
: vegetarian) require larger amounts
: of food and I feel
: "stuffed"- for example,
: yesterday I had 3 cups chopped
: salad for lunch with my protein in
: chickpeas and a little bacon, with
: 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/2 cup sweet
: potato following. I felt way too
: full and wasn't sure if I should
: stop eating when full. Sounds
: silly, but my fullness indicator
: is pretty wacky!
: Thanks
