Hi Heather,

Mosaic is sleeping so I will chime in....

Hi Mosaic!
: I'm not sure why it seems like the
: automatic answer to a question
: is you need to go back and do the
: steps.

Actually we only say this when someone isn't :h12)

I've been doing the steps
: for months
: and months. I have an egg or two with
: sausage patty or turkey bacon with
: a pc of Ezekial bread.

Step one has 4 parts. One of which is haveing adequate protein for your weight,
and I know that an egg or two wouldn't qualify. So when someone come in and
tells us they have mastered this step but they haven't we always talk about it again.

I love this
: breakfast. Always have. I eat
: protein with every meal for sure.
: I have upped my protein a bit
: using the formula given in the
: book.

Step 3 is way more than protein at every meal. If you are using the formula in the book,
You would weigh about 36 pounds LOL. So something is amiss :h11)

I'm great at journaling.

: It's potato time.

We can respectfully disagree on this one :s1(

I have been
: doing it and I really do feel good
: the next day, but I'm asking about
: timing and could we have a pc of
: fruit instead and does it have to
: be three hours after the protein?

You can do whatever you want, Heather.

But I think you haven't read the book because you are asking how not to
do the program rather how to master it and its principles.

: Or if I decide to have a pc of
: fruit or a RR friendly dessert say
: an hour after dinner, if that
: doesn't have any protein, should I
: just assume that was my evening
: carb or should I eat the potato an
: hour later anyway?

Nope, that is not what we are doing.

And I was
: curious if anyone could share with
: me how they feel with the potato
: and without... is there a
: difference?

If you just do the potato without building on the other steps, it doesn't make a whole lot
of difference.

: thanks!

Well you sorta blew Mosaic off, and I have a hunch you might tell me you know better than I do as well.

You might just do whatever you want and see what happens. If you decide you want to make some changes,
give me a shout, and we can touch base on it.

Warmly,

Kathleen
