I did real well the 1st 8 months...and ate plenty of protein. Eat your meats, eat your veggies in moderation, and eat your fats. You will do fine. Stalls happen as much to those on starvation versions of LC as those who eat as they will.

I averaged 2700-3000 cakories a day and lost 84 pounds in 8 months. The fact that I put a bunch of it back on since Christmas not withstanding!
