Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hello everyone, I'm new here and very keen to learn from you all. Have already been picking your brains as it were by reading lots of your posts on the subjects most important to me at the moment - mainly how to up the protein for breakfast as am about to start step 1. Just a little intro: I already knew i had a big problem with sugar before i came across PNP. I stopped eating refined sugar about three months ago and have also been eating lots of raw veg and fruit. Usually 2 raw meals a day & 1 cooked. About a month ago a friend gave me PNP and i was bowled over by it; it makes so much sense. Have noticed that my breakfasts recently have been almost all fruit with maybe a few nuts, so have quite a bit of work to do there. Also caught myself binging on dried pineapple the other day - much better than chocolate biscuits or ice-cream, but still out of control. Otherwise have been feeling very well on my current regime and it's only really the pineapple incident and noticing my slide into total fruit breakfasts and the confirmation of my sugar sensitivity that prompts me to try the program. Have also been steadily losing weight, nothing dramatic, but all my clothes are now loose instead of tight, and am a little scared, as i don't want to put that weight back on. Many thanks and best wishes, Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Jez, Welcome to the list and to the community. This program has been life-changing for me. You are embarking on a wonderful journey! Dried fruit is highly concentrated in sugars, although they are natural - it is still super sugary! So it has the same effect in many ways. But NOT to worry about sugar right now, the most important thing is step 1, and getting enough protein! Have you gotten any good breakfast ideas from the archives yet? My favorite breakfast is either a protein shake or scrambled eggs with toast.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Jez, welcome! I did smile a bit when you said dried fruit! I was quite proud of my healthy pre-pnp diet.... but I was a so and so for dried fruit, I just knew where to get sugar 'in disguise' lol do you feel comfy with working out your protein and the 4 parts of breakfast? dont forget to share your favourite breakfast with us. My current ( oops dried fruit crept in again lol) is a protein shake, cottage cheese in it as well, and on the side for my brown a sweet potato with salt and pepper. mosaic , " geraldinemreid " <geraldinemreid wrote: > > Hello everyone, > I'm new here and very keen to learn from you all.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Tina, Thank you for your encouragement and i do believe you're right, Have been exploring the RR site and although a bit overwhelmed by the wealth of info there, have also been inspired and moved by some of the things i've read. And yes re ideas. A completely new one for me is the use of protein powders. I bought some yesterday and used it in my breakfasat this morning for the first time and it was fine. and very sustaining. I had it in what was more of a pudding than a smoothie - a mixture of seeds, nuts fruit and hemp milk. Jez > Welcome to the list and to the community. This program has been life-changing for me.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Welcome Jez! I know the archives are filled with ideas about breakfast, but like Tina, my favorite is protein powder in almond milk, you could mix it with your fruit and have a smoothie. (: I know when I added protein in the morning I felt so stable and had a lot more energy thorughout the day. Glad your here. Jess Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Mosaic and Jess, Thank you for your welcomes am going to try a shake tomorrow - the almonds are soaking now. Not 'comfy' at all about it, but hope i will be one day. I think i get it re proteins, lots of checking protein content and adding up. The complex carbs in principle too, and was happy to see in PNP that sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds count here - had some of those this morning. Also had some raspberries and a banana. So those are two parts, the other two are? Help, i don't know. Jez , " mosaic " <mosaic58 wrote: > > Hi Jez, welcome! > I did smile a bit when you said dried fruit!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Not quite. A " brown " is actually a complex carbohydrate. So a brown could be oatmeal (there's your hot cereal!), a potato, brown rice, wild rice, whole grain bread, etc. I would classify walnuts as a good healthy fat!

Have you got the new edition PnP ? as the breakfast 'instructions' are so clear in there also you could hang out in breakfast list to pick up more info/ideas too the 4 parts are *enough protein for your weight *with a complex carb *within an hour of waking *every day It took me awhile to get my protein right and then you dont want to know how I messed up 'within an hour' LOL anyway, ask any questions if you like. do you know how many protein grams you want etc? for example. mosaic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Many thanks for your advice and clarification. Unfortunately have had a bit of a hiccup due to going down with a severe stomach upset starting around tea time on Saturday. So i wasn't able to eat anything at all for over 24 hours. Today i really don't want to eat very much of anything but am having small amounts. Had a bowl of porridge made with almond milk for breakfast today. Nowhere near the right amount of protein (28grams) but i'll work up to that. My edition of PnP was published in 2001? My copy of SARP arrived today so am avidly reading that too. Will check out the breakfast list soon. Thanks again, Jez > > you'll soon get the hang of it Jez.
