Hi Regina,

it is very easy to blame the *program* for what is happening.
Right now, you are adding in and you have not started taking
things out. In the past you have *managed* your weight by
not having adequate nutritious foods.

You can use the .4 gram measure to calculate your protein if you like.

But look at the *other* stuff you are eating. Probably its the culprit.

see what you think.

warmly,

kathleen
