Following Dr. Bernstein's prescription in his "Diabetes" Diet book, to lose weight I have reduced the Protein grams I eat each day. Using 4 grams of protein per pound of body weight as a starting point to amintain weight (a parameter I found elsewhere), I reduced that slowly to 3 grams, to lose weight.

I've been trying to get a grip on how to move onto my 2nd stage of weight loss. I never read Bernstein, but I think what you just offered up is the answer I have been searching for to begin my next stage. I dropped to 180 about 2 months ago and haven't gained or lost since. I have been racking my brains out on how to adjust without starving myself so I can lose my next 25 pounds. Readjusting my thinking has not been easy, but your formula is a great idea that might just do it for me. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks... Thanks!
So, if I understand your formula, my current weight 180 X .4 X .75 would equal adjusting my proteins to 54g per day.........Does this seem accurate to you? |
