Hi,
I tried doing a search for this but the link I found doesn't seem to be working anymore. I've posted before that I am doing the low carbing thing, and would like to continue doing it but my surgeon's office doesn't follow that program. I feel like I am doing really well on this path, but I was just wondering if anyone might have a link to a more in detail plan?
Here's what I'm currently doing: 600-800 cals or less, 40g carbs or less, (I'm more often under 20) and 60-80g of protein or more. That is about all I know.
I'm also starting to get more exercise in, and very recently (like, yesterday) have started adding weight training. From what I've read, I should just up my protein based on this plan, right?
I also have no trouble getting water in, I average at least 14 cups a day. Thanks for your help

P.S. I should probably add on the days I get closer to 800 cals I really beat myself up about it Am I being a bit hard on myself, or at this stage should I really not be getting close to that 800 cal mark? Thanks again

Well there is always the Atkins plan from the father of low carbing also South Beach has a low carb basis to it too. Look up both of them and they should get you started.

If that's what you're doing, you're doing what all the Dr. C patients told me.  Plus, don't overthink it (thank you, Frisco).

It is easy to add food, and hard to give it back.  I would never advise anyone to beat themselves up over food (it's really just another way of using, IMHO), but I personally think you're doing yourself a big favor to keep the calories low at this point.

Thanks, Happy
I will try not to overthink it. For now, I'll keep the same path I've been on

well thats essentially the Dr. C program from one who followed it. He gives patients a booklet that used to be on a link but it doesn't work any more. But thats the program. No sugar and keep the calories low and protein high. Do that and you will be fine.  Diane

Also, if you are exercising, especially weight lifting, increase your protein to 100-120 grams while keeping your calories under 800.  Do this, and you will succeed.

Thanks, Elina!
I WILL succeed with this! Success is not an option for me, it's a necessity!
