PPLP and Diabetes
I've been on PPLP for three weeks and I feel good. The first week I was constipated and had headaches but that soon went away. I'm also a Type 2 diabetic which kind of complicates things. My weight loss has been slow; only two pounds so far and I've read in the Atkins book that this could be because of the diabetic oral medications I take.
I find breakfasts the worst part of it; the rest of the day is easy. So I've started having protein shakes with a few strawberries in the morning; much better than all those greasy eggs. For lunch I have a chicken caesar salad. Lettuce, cucumber, small handful of toasted pumpkin seeds, chicken and Caesar dressing. I feel full on that.
If anyone know of a recipe for a good homemade protein, low carb bar please post it. The ones in the stores are kind of expensive.
