If you count calories or Weight Watcher points while adding protein and decreasing carbs you should be okay with your dieting. The Greek yogurt I eat has 22% of the daily required protein and the protein powder I use in smoothies furnishes 43% of the dally requirement. You don't have to eat meat to add protein.

Hi, JackieS. If you are okay eating chicken, try a piece of chicken roasted or baked your favourite way is good protein and digestible. Eggs, scrambled with turmeric sprinkled on top while cooking (helps with inflammation). Firm tofu added to smoothies. If you decide to eat beans, chickpeas, lentil, etc., for protein remember it might be irritating because of the skins on each bean (beans are also carbs, but high in protein and filling). If you love butter, try replacing it with just-ripe avocado spread on your toast. Or, if you don't want to measure each and every bite you eat, try the plate method that most diabetics learn re controlling carbs and protein: Divide your plate in three sections, protein taking up half the plate and the 2/3 sections each with a vegetable, and a bit of carb. Diabetics use the half section for vegetables (we are not allowed too many carbs either!) but you can adapt it to your needs. Cut back or avoid white sugar, fructose, syrups. If you need a sweet taste, try raw unpasteurized honey in coffee and tea. Good luck with weight loss. Slowly but surely.

Thank you Winterberry and Te Mari, I appreciate both your responses.
