Hey Sallyd,

Welcome to PP!

The protein level that you come up with after doing calculations is your "minimum" requirement per day. If you go over, that's okay, according to the book. My requirement is around 80 gms and I usually am closer to 95-100 gms.

I have been at the same weight the past 2 days, but I had lost 2 lbs before that. On Tuesday my first week will be up and I can increase my carbs some more, so we'll see how it goes from there.

Some good ideas for breaking a plateau are on pages 140-141 in the book.

Like you, I think I was eating too much protein on the Atkins and that was causing problems. I'm keeping my fingers crossed with the PP that it will work for me.

Keep at it and keep reading. Every time I open the book, I read something else that I hadn't noticed before!
