Hi,

Tuesday evening I stuffed up..big time.

It was my second day on this round but I have tried the challenge previously

and lasted only about 2 weeks.

It's not the working out that is a problem, I can do that no sweat (or

should I say buckets of sweat), I mean the working out part I can live with

no problem but it's the diet I find I can't live with.

I find it very difficult to eat as much protein as is suggested in EVERY

meal. Sure, I find it easy to include protein in 2 of my daily meals but not

6, It makes me feel heavy and a bit blocked if you know what I mean. I just

don't think I can live that way and am not sure if I want to.

I like to eat lots of fruit and vegetables and non processed foods and I

feel like my stomach is too heavy to fit those vitamin rich healthy foods in

my daily diet after having protein 6 x per day.

Could or Kit voice their opinions (or anyone else who may have some

knowledge) on whether I could still get good fat loss results if I dropped

the protein to say about 50% that is recommended and made up for it with

about 50% more carbs. I just don't think I can go on " for life " eating

strictly BFL way. Between meals I like to eat FRESH fruit as it makes me

feel light and energetic. When I add protein to that I feel yuck and heavy.

The reason I am fat is from all the trying and failing of diets, then

feeling like " oh stuff it " and over eating until the next time I start a

program. I just can't seem to last on them. I just want to eat healthy good

for you foods with not so much protein. Nutritionists etc say that 15-20% of

daily requirements should come from protein. This is what I could and can

live with. Fat loss is my main concern, I want to get rid of about 35lbs and

I'll be sweet. I don't want to gain much more muscle as I am strong and feel

firm underneath the layers. I just want those layers to peel off my already

muscluar body which is hiding underneath. I need to be set free from this

protein issue. P.S. I won't even think about a Meal Replacement shake as I

like to eat things as close to nature as possible. Oh exept when I have

stuffed up and then everything goes out the window. It's not logical I know,

but that's what happens to me.

Many thanks in advance for you advice.

Amie.
