Bridget, I have included the previous post I sent a few day's ago.

Here it is:

Laurette any others interested in the Protein Train,

This is from another WLS message board....they say this works...

This is what it is...first thing to remember is we all do it a bit

different but for the same reasons... number one is to defeat the

carb monster...aka carb cravings, ... number two is to jump start

stalled out weight loss...also there is some thought that is the

pouch is stretched it will shrink... i dunno if its true or not.

protien diets will cause you to go into ketosis (remember the

optifast diet) you loose fast but its not a really good idea to do

long term, hence 3 days is pretty common as a goal... now this is

what I do

i drink my morning coffee... yes i am a caffiene addict....

then the rest of the day i do nothing but protien shakes water

crystal light or some sugar free flavored water... the first day is

hard but the second day and third day are pretty easy to me... then

on the 4th day i start adding things like a scrambled egg with

cheese still protien but food along with my shakes... then as time

goes on i get back to a semi normal diet i never totally stop my

shakes as i totally believe in them even though my dr does not... i

will keep a daiily post of what i do that day so folks can follow

and see what happens ... i have a girl friend in ohio that is

joining me on this but she never does shakes she does just food...

so i am compairing notes on how we both do...

s interested...

She had written me about it and I copied and pasted it. Hope it

helps. I know I am keeping it for future reference.

Hugs, in AL.
