protein power lifeplan

Jean@125 · 01-12-2008, 07:16 AM

Hi all,
Can someone who is doing the protein power life plan give me a quick overview of the plan to get me started for the plan until I get a copy of the book.I do have the original book. Would this be about the same as the lifeplan.
I have tried induction on atkins and keep binging so I want to try something less restrictive as far as carbs go. Thank you. Jeanie

It's pretty similar. You can calculate your Protein Requirements in the old book -- but the new one is much simpler. At 5'2" and 149 lbs. you should have 27 grams of protein at each meal and 7-10 carbs. Hope this helps.

Can you help me? Also waiting for the book from Amazon. I'm 5'6" and 194.

Dedee62,
Your minimum protein requirement per meal would be 34 grams and 7-10 net carbs.

Thanks.

I am awaiting arrival of The 30-Day Low-Carb Plan (not sure if exact title) by Eades. I've heard that it's the protein power plan in an easier read. Please tell me that it has enough information on the plan and I don't need to get the life plan book too.

Do you also get snacks?

What if you have way more protein in a meal? For dinner I had 2 - 5 oz. filet mignons. I found a site that told me 6 oz. is 49g. protein. I also had some brochili and a few slices of zuchini w/ranch dressing. I don't know exact amount of carbs in this meal, but pretty sure I didn't go over 10.

You can have protein snacks. The amount of protein per meal is the minimum requirement you don't have to worry about going over, just don't stuff yourself. The brocolli and the zuchinni are fine. Brocolli 2.2 net carbs per raw cup and the zuchinni 4.0 per cup.
I haven't read the 30 day book so I am not sure what it covers.

Jeannie, we may be sisters-under-the-skin . . . I've been an on-and-off Atkins follower since as early as 1972. The WOE works for me -- I feel good, lose weight, experience fewer medical problems, and enjoy the allowable foods. However I always end up falling prey to trigger foods (primarily ice cream, popcorn, tortillas and grits). I start binging and, obviously, regain the lost weight and, sometimes, more . . . I'm currently up fifteen pounds after a two month binge and looking for a plan that I can stick with better than Atkins. I restarted (again) low carbing on 5/12/08. This time I'm trying PP instead of Atkins. Hopefully, PP can be the lifetime plan that Atkins has not been for me
