6 week check up . . .

[Kevin1708]

I had my 6 week check up yesterday . . . I am pleased to report all is well. My consultant is very happy with my progress (loosing 4st by his scales) – exercise regime outlined and agreed. As for food / liquid intake it seems that I need to drink more water or tea or whatever. The food hmmmmm well – confirmed toast, crackers and alike are good (if tolerated) ~ lean minced steak chilli / curry are good. Reminded me to aim for proteins at all times and told me off for using protein drinks / shakes (volume -v- intake and high in calories). I was warned that my weight loss would now reduce to approx ½st per month. I am still some way off being able to eat a well done (Neanderthal, I know) fillet steak but will be experimenting with a chicken curry using chicken thighs and a slow cooker !
Discussed excess skin – happily it seems that I would have to be rather unlucky, as I am quite tall and having a comparatively low BMI, to have a great problem with this.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for you kind wishes and support over the last 6 weeks xxx

Kevin1708, I am completing week 1. You were discouraged from drinking protein drinks? We are encouraged to drink them here in Dallas, Texas.
Did he say why?

 

[Kevin1708]

Hi . . . it was all to do with sousing your required amount of protein for solid foods steak and chicken rather than replacing these with high calorie protein drinks.

How to Calculate Your Protein Needs:
1. Weight in pounds divided by 2.2 = weight in kg
2. Weight in kg x 0.8-1.8 gm/kg = protein gm.
Use a lower number if you are in good health and are sedentary (i.e., 0.8). Use a higher number (between 1 and 1.8) if you are under stress, are pregnant, are recovering from an illness, or if you are involved in consistent and intense weight or endurance training.
Example: 154 lb male who is a regular exerciser and lifts weights
154 lbs/2.2 = 70kg
70kg x 1.5 = 105 gm protein/day

Good luck
