[quote=Anonymous]I am the original ideal protein poster. Did this diet on rec of my physician who had several patients use it with success. The diet is specifically designed to avoid or minimize muscle loss ( that is why you eat a lot of lean protein). They use a sophisticated scale each week (you have to meet weekly with a counselor) to measure body fat and muscle mass as well as water weight, so they can see exactly where you are losing the weight. After the first week or so one can ramp up the exercise a bit and even do light weights at the gym, as long as you don't overdo it. And you eat a bit more on workout days. The idea is to switch your body into ketosis so you are burning fat for fuel. Carbs are under 40g per day. I lost 30 lbs only 2 lbs of which was muscle. Blood pressure went from 140/90 to 120/80. Feel great. And, although hard to believe, NOT HUNGRY while on phase 1 ( where you lose the wright). My only regret is I did not find this diet sooner. You have to sign up for it through an authorized counselor of which there are several in the DC area. You can listen to the naysayers or you can give it a try and maybe find a solution for yourself. I was skeptical too. [/quote]
