Good afternoon.
I tried searching for this answer but either I am an idiot in using search function or I am wording it wrong.

My question:
Reward meal must be 1/3 of each protein, carbs and fat, right?
How do we determine that precisely? Is it in grams? Lets say I eat 15 grams of carbs at my RM than do I eat 15 grams of fat and protein.

15*9 = 135 cal from fat
15*4 = 60 cal from protein
15 * 4 = 60 cal from carbs
Total 255 calories
60/255 = 24%
60/255 = 24%
135/255 = 53%

That does not look right…does it.
So than would the % that must be 33% each?


Also, how do you guys/girls know how to make those portions fit those %?
Can some one give me an example of how they do it?
I don’t mind being very particular and am willing to spend time to calculate everything to the T, I am just confused on how to do it. I did read the book, but I must be just an idiot I can’t figure this out.

Second Question????

With the reward meal being higher in carbs than the rest of the day, does your body every get into ketosis? If not, how do you lose weight, is it due to pure calorie reduction, so if for me the calories stay the same as before, will I lose any weight?
I don't understand how this plan creates weight loss, I can see how Atkins does due to ketosis, how does this one do it?


Could someone, please be so kind and try to help me get this right.
I am hoping to start this diet tomorrow.
Thank you so very much to anyone who will respond.
