Thank you Allison,

I love to have 3 eggs with skim-milk cheese and whole grain oats for breakfast, but it seems that I won't be hungry for the rest of the day! Well, unless I want sugar.

It is STARTING to make sense that my weekly cold-turkey routine is not working. Old habits die hard. I like the idea of adding peanut butter to my shakes. I use whey, milk, oats, flax, and a banana. Put some PB in there and it would be delicious.

I'll give it a shot. Thank you!

: Hi Jimmy
: If you are working on step 1, you
: shouldn't even be worrying about
: sugar right now. The cold
: turkey/binge pattern is really
: hard on your body. Don't worry
: about the sugar, or try to cut it
: out. I would bet if you don't try
: to go cold turkey, you will
: actually end up eating less of it
: in the long run.

: Just protein powder or just greek
: yogurt wouldn't work for me. I
: make a shake with both in it,
: along with some peanut butter and
: oats (and some other ingredients,
: but those are what give it staying
: power). And solid food works
: better for me than any kind of
: shake, but on weekdays the shake
: works adequately and is quick.
: Have you thought about denser
: proteins that you could try? I
: actually like dinner food for
: breakfast, and for a long time I
: had a turkey burger and a bowl of
: steel cut oats for breakfast.
: Combining protein sources can work
: well too. I would really need 4
: eggs, but that's too many eggs, so
: I have a 3 egg omelet with cheese
: on weekends, for instance. Or I
: might add cheese to a turkey
: burger to get that extra amount of
: protein.
