I use MyFitnessPal.com religiously. My clinic was very restrictive on their recommended plan - from what I have read here more restrictive than most. So, up until I was six moths along I was only allowed 1/2 cup of food per meal. 3 ounces of Protein and one Tablespoon of a fruit, a vegetable, or a starch. At six months I was to get 80 grams of Protein a day - that has only increased to a limit of 90 grams today. My protein normally is the mid 80s each day.

I looked back at MyFitnessPal.com, and about 25% to 35% of my calories are coming from carbs each day. My total calories a day are normally between 650 - 750, with 800 calories being my limit.

Regarding carbs, I love them! I miss them!! I have found that drinking more Water helps with the cravings. I also have not completely denied myself when there is something I really want. I take one or two bites, no more. I don't do it every day.

Hopefully you will find a way through the cravings. I have found that shear determination really can make all the difference. It is NOT EASY!! But the reward is SO worth it!

Thindskies,

I re-read your post and saw you wanted to know what I eat. A normal day is this:

Breakfast

Premier Protein shake (1/2 shake)

20 ounces Water

Mid-morning

Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yorgurt (80 calories)

1Tablespoon ground flax seed

lunch

Pure Protein Bar (Chocolate Deluxe)

dinner

Protein to get to about 85 grams for the day. This could be chicken, steak, pork chops, salmon, chili...

1 cup of romaine lettuce, four croutons, 2 Tablespoons light Salad Dressing.< /p>

After Dinner

Premier Protein Shake (second half)

Not including the shake I drink 80 to 100 ounces of water a day. If you have questions, just let me know.

Carol

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
