[SS] ? about mixing carbo meals & protein/fats

[JennAnnP]

Hi!

I am not clear on how this works exactly. Can you have a carbo breakfast and then a protein/fat lunch and dinner or say a protein/fat breakfast and a carbo lunch and a protein dinner? or do you have to have carbo meals all day and then protein/fat meals all day??

Thanks for your time!!

What the book says is, Wait at least 3 hours between meals or snacks if you are switching from a pro/fats to carbos and vice versa.

So, yes you can have carbo breakfast and then a pro/fats lunch or pro/fats breakfast and then a carbo lunch. The earlier in the day you eat your carbos, the better. That way you have more time to burn them off.

I hope this answers your question. :wave:

Thanks! I notice you have lost a lot of weight, which method worked best for you?

Suzanne doesn't recommend eating 3 carb meals a day, that is just too much carb to burn off in a day. I think she recommends something like 4 carb meals a week, in fact.

Thanks, I'll stay away from the carbs at least in the beginning...maybe just an all fruit breakfast once in a while!
