cheap protein

Dear Blogging Peeps


an update
day 13+


This diet reminds me of my Mother. Growing up, we didn't have much money. 
She was vexed in the men department. So it was just her income we lived on. 
She was older, too. She had me when she was 40. Poor lady! 
How tired she must have been!
She was a Medical Records "Secretary," as they called it back then.
I'd help her study Medical Latin root words. Probably why I became a Nurse.


A funny Nursing  joke for today.
They found a body - they are pretty sure she was a Nurse.
Her stomach was empty, her bladder was full, 
and her butt was chewed off!! (heehee!)


But, I digress!
My dear Mother, who was not over-weight, one day put down her fork in protest!
"No more tuna! No more eggs! If I have to see another cheap protein I'll scream!"
A can of basic tuna is around a dollar.... sometimes cheaper. Two servings per can.
A dozen eggs is around two bucks. 2 eggs per serving = less than 50 cents.
Pound of hamburger - about $3.... each 4 ounce serving is 85 - 90 cents.


So there is no way a Higher Protein Diet is expensive.... Sure, it can be. 
But it doesn't have to be. Even the Protein Powder is 50 cents a serving... 
a couple of bucks a day.


*I use a mix of Isolated Whey and Concentrated Whey - I mix it myself!*
Good quality - LoCarb - what more could a blogger ask for?


Like the 1950's Diet.... Minus the Melba Toast!
Cottage Cheese - the quintessential diet food. Couple of bucks.
Salad. Pretty standard for Pounds Off as well.
Ah, yes.....


So here we are on day something. Here I am. I feel really good!
Didn't there was a trend a few years ago, for the LoCarbers to go on a
Protein Shake Diet - for just 2 meals a day? Then a reg low-carb meal?
Something like that?  That was when I first started blogging in May. 
[I started LoCarb in March, so there's a lag in time, and in pounds.]


Some very expensive - $300+ a month meal plans are very popular.
And they use a Liquid Protein. There are several of them out there.
Thanks for checkin in! The fast officially ends tomorrow evening.
For a full two weeks! Liquid protein with a couple of solid meals thrown in.
And all is well! Thanks for reading, y'all!


Thank You Kindly,
