Well this site has certainly been refreshing. I've spent several hours a day reading numerous posts, recipes, articles, etc. I've been on the Protein Power program since May but have only lost 13 lbs (but I know why).
I'm heavily into weight lifting and biking (stationary type) and do eight 45 min to 1 hour workouts per week. Although only losing 13 lbs in 5 months, I have decreased my body fat by 2%. Having said all that, I still have a noticable layer of fat covering the muscle I've bulit up in the last year. The reason is alcohol. Protein Power allows you to have alcohol (within set guidelines). I'm a martini lover and enjoy a martini or two a night. Well as most of you regulars to the forum know, this drastically slows the fat burning down since the liver will burn alcohol before stored fat to produce keytones.
So my advice to all PP folks is to go cold turkey on the alcohol for the quickest wiegh loss.
Glad to be part of this great LC group and will keep you posted with my progress.
