Thanks. I googled but could not find any article that in a simple direct manner explained what amount of protein a body could absorb...I called a nutritionist who said "around 30"... leaving me wondering

Hi, Reading posts here I have heard a few times that the body can only handle 20 grams of protein at a time. Is this correct? Why then would there be products with 30 or more? Can someone please enlighten me?? Thanks.

CONGRATULATIONS on 84 down! Keep it up... A suggestion...you note that you eat the one shrimp and then run to do dishes...why not stay at the table and keep him company? dinner can be couple or family time.. Dinner is not just about the food...it's about sharing time. Family systems are interesting. When one part changes everything changes...and lets face it, most people do not welcome change. When we begin to feel better about ourselves because of the weight loss we are more assertive, and the people around us do not at times want to change with us...they long for the 'good old days. But, at 84 pounds down, these are the GREAT NEW DAYS! Listen to your heart's longing to be all you were created to be....

Hi..What is OH? Thanks

The grace of self-discovery opens new doors to new paths. Sounds like you have been given a gift of self-awareness. Congratulations! A suggestion. Next time you get 'feeling sorry' do some self talk. Remind yourself that you are in the process of becoming all you want to be. That 45 pounds is BIG proof! You're on the way! Use whatever tools you need as you go along: support groups, therapy, blogs, a trip to the closet to see clothes that are way too big...whatever. Again, Congratulations.
