: I am getting such good feedback. I
: have been looking at the meals,
: and when I eat eggs I will do
: three instead of two. I will add
: 1/2 an orange to the cottage
: cheese, and figure out some sort
: of meat/soy product that tastes
: good to me. The guidelines for
: people with chronic kidney disease
: is .75g/kg. I weigh 145 kg, so
: that is 108g/day of protean. I am
: going with this number (still more
: protean than I was eating before
: reading this book), so I don't
: inhibit my kidney function. My
: disease is hereditary, and cannot
: be reversed. I want to get off
: sugar, but not at the expense of
: kidney function. I am now going to
: shoot for 35g of protean at every
: meal. I'm seeing now that I need
: to step up the protean on some of
: my "good" meals.
: Thanks again for all the suggestions.
: I feel a new sense of motivation,
: and am going to up that protean!
: Also I am steaming carrots with my
: potatoes (I use fingerling), so
: that there is always an easy
: complex carb available. So I guess
: I am taking a big step back,
: re-learning breakfast, then I will
: work on lunch, then dinner. I feel
: great about this plan, and am very
: thankful for all the help!

Hi Rachel,

I think you may have some misunderstanding about our guidelines.
We would have you only go up to 200 pounds and then use a .4 or 80 grams per day or 26 per meal.

I don't think you will have any problem with the program.
