Hi All,

I am new to the plan and have been doing stage 1 and 2 regularly now, so I am starting to tackle stage 3 and then I will move on to stage 4.

I have two questions that Im sure have been answered many times before but can't seem to find.

Firstly, I have dinner quite late due to work (at around 10.30pm) and wondered if I had my potato with my meal would it have the same affect as if I had it before bed. I don't normally go to bed until about midnight but that is only 1.5 hrs after my meal so not sure whether I should have the potatoe then or not?

Secondly, after finding out how much protein is in food my question is......can you go over the amount you have been allocated i.e. I have divided my protein allowance into 3 and it is 24gms per meal. In a pork loin steak there is loads more than this. Does this mean I should avoid eating something with a really high protein content?

Also, one more thing, I am a fitness instructor and teach about 15 hrs a week of high intensity fitness (Zumba), I normally would have a protein shake after teaching and a piece of fruit. Is this still ok?

Sorry for all the questions, I am just trying to get my head around everything hahahahaha. It sounds amazing and I really want it to work.

So far so good.

Thanks so much for your time.

Cheers for now :)
