[quote=Anonymous]I need to lose 35 pounds. My plan was to go a little heavy on the protein and light on the carbs for the first couple weeks to wean me off carbs. I am a carb addict - particularly sugar. I am trying to figure out though what percentage of each would be best. I have heard that one can drop weight at first by hiking up the protein - but goes that mean going almost no carbs?

So far today I have had...

Breakfast: Tea with skim milk, an English muffin, 2 scrambled eggs.
Lunch: Club soda, 1 can of white tuna in water with a bit of low fat mayo and an apple
Dinner...not eaten yet but will be pan cooked fish, some quinoa mixed with salsa and some veggies.

So I realize that actually I haven't really gone low carb as I have carbs at every meal! But i have increased my protein - partly to keep me fuller longer so I don't crave the crakers, fruit, candy, cookies, pop that I normally turn to to snack on. I haven't snacked yet today...but usually snack late in the day, not sure what to have.

Is what I am doing ineffective? higher protein but still eating decent amount of carbs?

According to myfitness pal breakfast and lunch today so far is Calories: 592 	Carbs: 54 	Fat: 20 	Protein: 52

Any advice?
