SimplySam2015 0 Posted February 10, 2015 I'm new to this forum, so hi all. I have an issue right now with craving sugary foods. I've lost 90 lbs and I'm on week 9. I've not lost anything for 2 weeks. But gosh I get the munchies! I'm not drinking as much Protein as I need. Does protein have anything to do with this? What's causing this ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SandyS 77 Posted February 10, 2015 Wow!!! 90 pounds lost in nine weeks!!! I think a two week stall would be considered normal if you have lost that much. Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcdaniels 48 Posted February 11, 2015 Sandy's right, you should be very pleased, but not getting enough Protein could definitely be behind your problems. My office says women should get 60-80 grams a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted February 13, 2015 @@SimplySam2015, congratulations at your tremendous progress! I bet you feel so much better already. Definitely eating more Protein will help you satisfy that hungry feeling and will assist in breaking your stall. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cupcake 801 Posted February 14, 2015 Congrats on your lost wow your doing great it took me almost 9 month to loose that amount, stalls are going to happen they are just apart of the process. I would continue to focus on Protein first then Water, do not forget to exercise when your doctors says its ok but i am sure they will not object to short walks. Good luck.

SimplySam2015 0 Posted February 14, 2015 I've been told now to jump start the wieghtloss again by reverting back to liquids for a few days. It's worked! Whew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
