Need Help

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I will try not to be too lengthy. A few months ago I tried

unsuccessfully to start the 7 steps. I couldn't even get step 1

down. I could not find something that would give the required

protein. One problem is that I dont like protein shakes.

 

Currently I am not a practicing vegetarian, but I have been off and

on and it is the direction I want to go. At this point, I definitely

want to let go of meat and have only occasional chicken. I have

never been a huge cheese eater, but at this time I am not choosing

to let go of cheese. I do not however like cottage cheese.

 

I do like Boca burgers, Boca chicken nuggets but these do not seem

to have large of quantity of protein. I still do not have a club how

to get going on breakfast. I dont like breakfast that much (typical

for sugar addicts) and I dont know how to get the 40 grams of

protein I need at breakfast.

 

Something else I am wondering about is vegetables. I do like

vegetables, love them actually. And all of the health and disease

prevention guidelines are constantly saying we need at least 5

fruits and/or vegetables per day. Are vegetables supposed to be

limited on the program? If so, is that healthy?.

 

Anyway, as everyone can see, I just need help. I appreciate any

input and I appreciate everyone's time.

Hi dd1nmt, welcome! What shall we call you? To answer the easy question first, there is no limit to how many vegetables you eat on the program, so no worries there. I think a good protein source is veggie sausage patties (I am familiar with the brand called morningstar); they are 10 grams of protein a patty. So if you had two veggie sausages (20 grams), two eggs (12 grams) and 2 oz. cheese (12 grams), you'd have your breakfast protein. You'd also want to make sure to get some whole grains in there, so whole grain toast is a good option. But you can really eat anything for breakfast that you would eat any other time. I had stir-fried tofu and brown rice for breakfast this morning, for example. I don't like cottage cheese either, but I have found that if I eat if with some pineapple chunks, I can get it down. It's a great source of protein (one cup

has 24-28 grams), so I eat it frequently. Hope some of these ideas help! Blessings, Sharon in CAdd1nmt <dd1nmt wrote: Hi everyone,I will try not to be too lengthy.

Debby,

 

Welcome to the group. There have been quite a few breakfast discussions

recently, you

may want to dial back into some of them.

 

The 1st 6 months of the program I had either Nuts and Triscuits, Cottage Cheese

and

Whole Wheat Toast, or (Non Veggy) Tuna Sand on Whole Wheat Toast during the week

for

breakfast. These were the only foods available to me at the Universal Studios

Hollywood

Backlot store. On the weekends would have an Omlette of some sort.

 

Breakfast was one of the most difficult steps as I skipped it for over 20 years.

Putting it in

my mouth was one thing, swollowing it and getting it to stay down was another.

Think

one of the reasons why it was so hard to eat was the Sugar Sensitive Portion of

me was

saying " Hang On Here " were not letting go of sugar (LOL).

 

The program will work, just take it one solid step at a time and you will do

Great.
