hi Nancy
Actually, I have always been following PP, in a modified form, except for a week here and there in the winter, when I tried doing the Stillman's meat fast (very unpalatable, protein only, no carbs and no FAT) ... currently I've cut the carbs back to Atkins Induction level; I eat no grain products whatsoever ... mostly vegetables, salads, and I do have a lowcarb fruit several times a week (berries, melon, small kiwi, 1/2 grapefruit .. I'll probably indulge in a small fresh peach now they're in season) ...
But, I stick to the PP philosophy to ensure adequate protein every day, to make sure that I have protein at EVERY meal and snack, and to divide the carbs evenly through the day ... as opposed to chowing down the 20 carbs all in one go.
The DepoProvera injections have come up in discussions here before. Click here to read more about it. It is notorious for weight gain, and also has negative effects on your cholesterol .. .. You might be wise to consider an alternative.
Good luck
Doreen
