I am seeing some pretty ordinary things here Gill with some pretty ordinary excuses.
Still not enough protein. Come on. 200 grams of protein, at least. Your brekky barely covered 30 grams.

[GillianS25]

I'm finding hard to eat so much protein and plus I literally don't feel hungry enough to eat. I feel also that I'm going to start eating too much again and I don't want to do that, I'm scared that I'm going to start overeating again

[Dan]

Gill, what is infinitely more damaging to you now is that your still putting shit into your body. Over eating is your last concern. Food quality is your first. Please listen to me here. Eat at least 200 grams of protein a day which is at least 600 grams of beef a day as a guide. I dont care if your chewing all day. Also, 1 month of clean eating, starting NOW. Housemate, subway, come on...

Overeating may be your last concern, but for me, its a huge concern. I believe that my food ( with occassional slip up or things that are sometimes out of my control) I believe that I'm making steps forward in the right direction but you need to understand that its going to take me a little time

The excuses you said that were ordinary are valid I have a lot going on which does impact my headspace and affects my weight loss and if you take the time to understand them you ll understand why its affecting me

[Dan]

Im not going to keep repeating myself with you Gill with the what's and the why's.
Paleo works because you do paleo. It does not work because you do whatever version of it your headspace allows. You need to understand this. That involves eating as I recommend. It is all linked. If you think you know better based on weight watchers, advice from people who are more considerate to your emotions, and learnt nutrional advice from school or whatever is on A Current Affair then go for it.

Smarter people than you or I are pioneering this stuff. Those that do it love it.

Re headspace. Dont misinterpret my lack of attention to whatever is going on in your world as a lack of consideration or concern. Its simply ignored because its getting in the way of you eating right and being awesome. Its your potential thats suffering not mine. Deal with it in another way, food is the fuel you use to being great.

You have timings you need to achieve. No time to waste.

For the last time. Eat more protein. You need 200 grams a day minimum (you actually need closer to 300). You need this because protein has a very high thermic value meaning you burn shit loads of energy just trying to process it (25%) and this kicks your metabolism off in the right direction. To date you just havent done this and your results are showing.
