I started PP Sept 12. I didn't follow the plan exactly, I sort of slid into the first week to clean out my fridge. But since I really started I've stuck with only one goal, to limit the carbs to less than 40 a day. I measured and my protein intake is supposed to be 140 grams a day. I thought that was a lot but it's easy to eat 1.5 pounds of meat a day, I love it. I don't worry about going over, a few times I was hungry and my 'snack' would be a piece of chicken or sausage. I just started fitday today to see what my intake is.
I've been lifting weights 4-5 times weeky since March and walk twice a day for 20-30 minutes. I lost ten pounds in March and April, then nothing until I started PP. I've lost another ten in the last three weeks, and that might have been more but had two weekend beer drinking binges (six cans!).
I haven't consulted with my doctor, but next month I'll have a checkup for some meds I'm taking. I'll ask for blood work then. My BP is up, but nothing to worry about.
So I can see this being my way of life forever. I don't even feel like playing with my carb level when I reach my goal weight. I'm not hungry anymore, I love my meals, and have great energy, certainly more than I had six weeks ago.
I'll see how I feel in a month.
