That's exactly right... Not even a lettuce leaf for the first 3 days
It's all part of the detox process. Once you get started though you will find its not as hard as it seems

Good luck

PO is protein only.

B: 100g
S: 50g
L 100g
S: 50g
D: 100g
S: 50g

Good luck with it all

NO, it's not all.

A protein snack can be anywhere from 50g to 100g, it doesn't have to be just 50g. Most people forget that.

They also forget that if you're hungry, you can eat as often as every hour if you want to. That's an hour after you last finished eating, not an hour after you last sat down to eat

So, really, if you want to, and you're really hungry, you can eat 100g at breakfast, then another 100g an hour or so later, and do that every hour and a bit for the whole day.

You'll find, though, that you won't really get that hungry. Just see how you go.

Yes, though ... protein only ... meat, or eggs, or fish, or seafood, or approved low fat cheeses (cottage or ricotta mostly). You can use a little bit of onion or herbs, for example, to flavour things like meatballs. Just don't go overboard.

I hope that helps.

Hey Patience,

We started BT at the same time, how are you going?
Did you enjoy your 'cheat' day? :p

Do you have a diary? I couldn't find it if you do.

Sorry Patience. I should have included "This is what I do on PO days." in my post.

Hi Patience,

Yes, I know what you mean about the first 3 days being difficult. I mostly had headaches and felt 'off' on the second day. I wasn't too hungry, as I was always an under eater staving my body of nutrients. Remember that you can eat every hour if you need to, with a protein snack. I find it difficult to eat so often, but my body is getting use to it, I know feel hungry every 2 - 3 hours. I hope this week is better for you, I'm sure you will be gladly surprised when you jump on the scales next week.

I really find it inspiring to read other peoples diaries, you should have a crack at one yourself. Keeps you on track and accountable for your progress. I have put some links below for you.

Also I know exactly what you mean about being on a small budget (also out of work atm). Soon, I will be making a thread for all LCer's and especially high protein diets to shop and save $$. As we all know, the healthier foods always cost more. So stay tuned. :p

Hope these links work:

Monkey Moo I think that's a great idea!!!! High protein idea's on a budget would be a great thread. You should def, do it!

How are you both doing.. Although BT can feel tough some days it's rewards are worth it and you get so used to eating this way it's second nature.. Good luck
