My question is: how do I make sure to get enough calories on the PP days? I know I should be getting near 1000 calories so as to prevent my body from going into 'starvation mode' and storing calories, but I get so full from eating all this protein that I'm averaging around 600 calories per day! Does anyone else have this problem? I try to eat when I am hungry, and not eat when I'm not hungry, but then I end up with very few calories for the day. The protein is just so filling! -JM Starting weight: 170 Goal 1: 155lbs by June 22 (vacation!) ALMOST THERE! Goal 2: 135lbs by August 24 (birthday!) Goal 3: 125lbs by Sept 31

Fruit

Hmmm. Didn't realize plain yogurt was that high in carbs. I mentioned it because the friend who recommended it to me said her parents do it, and they are both on Atkins. I'm doing Paleo, but ...

Hey Megan: I can say I did the Slim Fast thing in the past and although it may or may not work for you it will be short term and the ingredients are not all that great. I prefer to learn a healthy way ...
