Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Hi all, I didn't do as well as I thought I would do. Wasn't able to go the full 3 days on just protein shakes and water, but with the exception of a protein bar that had too much sugar in it on the third day, the solid food I did eat was okay as far as food choices go. Just a couple of soy crackers, a piece of steak and the protein bars, (2 of them.) I didn't do badly, I'm only disappointed that I couldn't follow through with the plan as originally stated. All in all though, I am happy with the results, (lost 3 pounds,) and definitely curbed my need for carbs. Not one jelly bean has passed my lips since I began the fast. It was worth it for that reason alone! I am the original jelly bean addict. I also agree with Joanie and I will continue to include the protein fast as a regular once a week part of my routine. Maybe with time and determination I will get better at it! My real problem is that food has always been my crutch and just the last few months it has been sneaking up on me again, but now I will be more vigilant.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Janet & Deanna, Could you please describe the 3 day protein fast that you recently followed? Thanks so much, Barbara Berg > Janet, > It sounds like you did GREAT!!! Compared to what I did, and I'm not even sweatin it!! I figure even the attempt made me waaay more aware of what I was putting into my mouth, and while I was in no way perfect during this past week, I am now more conscious of what I am doing when I go to eat something. That alone is half the battle!! Congrats on doing so well and your 3# loss. > Deanna > > Re: the protein fast > > Hi all, > I didn't do as well as I thought I would do.
