Thanks ladies! The specific ideas are VERY helpful! They have brought up a new question...

If one intends to snack is the quantity of protein at meals reduced so the daily intake stays stable?

Thanks again,
Gigi

HI Gigi
: On step 1, you can snack on whatever
: you want, whenever you want, but
: when I have a snack, I usually
: have a complex carb and some
: protein. For instance, a hard
: boiled egg or cheese stick and
: some whole grain crackers,or
: hummus and vegetables and nuts.
: Nut butter and apple slices is
: another good one.
