I switched to PP early on in my LC journey .

I was getting no where with Atkins and on the verge of giving up . That was 4 months ago . Since then , I have lost 20 Lbs .

I eat a total of 60g protein per day and occasionally I eat more from 1 oz nuts as a snack I find that I dont need to snack because I am hardly ever hungry between meals . I divide my food into 3 meals per day and my carbs are divided up as well . I eat 6 Flax muffins per day which I make , but the protein content is not significant . I eat them for their fibre and for their omega 3 oils . I also take 1 tbl flax oil daily as well as freshly ground flax in my morning shake .

I eat 25 to 30 grams carbs daily . I have limited my saturated fat intake because my cholesterol readings went up for the first time ever when I started this WOE. That is why I always remind people to have thier blood work done .

I now try to incorporate more oily fish into my food . I eat mainly fresh green leafy veggies and tiny tomatoes for colour .Occasionally I eat cabbage, or broccoli . I like olives in olive oil . Occasionally avocados too .

For fruit , I love strawberries by the cupfull , 1/2 apple occasionally.

For fats I use extra virgin olive oil frequently for vinnaigrette , for sauteeing , I use vegetable ghee or butter ghee and sometimes peanut oil .

Thats about it . When I find that my weight loss stops , I find that over a 24 hour period , a free for all seems to kick start the body into weight loss again ,and I have done this several times when I hit a stall .

I am just recovering from one such free for all
