:Ok! let's rock....

Thank you Kathleen for going over
: this. Funny I thought I was
: getting more than enough food.
: Actually I am not trying to
: control my weight.

fabulous! This gives us a lot to work with.

It seems to
: have stabilized anyway. I am not
: sure how I can eat more as I get
: plenty full from just what I am
: eating. If I eat more, I start
: feeling nauseous. One trick was to
: eat more meals a day like you
: suggested: 3 meals with 2 snacks.
: I used to do that before RR, but
: was leery of doing this being a
: sugar addict and compulsive
: overeater.

If you plan it, and know what you will eat when, you will not trigger the *grazing* effect that leads into compulsive eating. The content of what you are having is great. You just need more.

: I do weights and cardio at the gym 3
: times a week. I get in at least
: another day of cardio mabye 2
: during the week, but out doors.

Yah, so you absolutely need more to eat :h3)

: I forgot to mention that I slather
: olive oil all over the veggies and
: salads. Does that count for more
: fat?

yes, terrific.

I also put 1 tbs. of coconut
: oil in smoothies (and the oatmeal
: if I can remember) for good fat.
: Ditto for the flax and chia seeds.

Ok, on both then.

: I can certainly eat protein at meals.
: I have to be careful with dairy
: though as I have a slight allergy.
: A couple times a week of goat or
: sheep milk products seems to be
: OK. So does that mean more meat
: and protein powder?

more meat and protein powder. You might like Restore a lot. It doesn't seem to kick in dairy allergy.

: How many carbs were you talking
: about? A cup of brown rice or
: oatmeal really fills me up. How
: many slices of bread or crackers
: are we talking about?

Forget bread and crackers as browns. Think whole grains. I have little 120 pound women having 2 cups when they work out at the level you are. Do what you can do... :h2)

: Finally I am trying to read between
: the lines. Are you saying it
: doesn't matter if I stay with the
: daily sugar fix or not? Now that I
: am at day 3 of the detox, I feel
: like seeing it through. You
: mentioned that I should try step 6
: a couple of times. I am REALLY
: between a rock and hard spot on
: this issue...

I think if you eat more, especially browns, staying off the sugar will be easy. So keep with it.

i LOVE your attitude!
