 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, EBurrell. The ratio for the program is approximately 1 gram of protein per two grams of carbohydrates. If you are seeking the pattern for your menus, please write back with just a little extra information – other than your height and weight, I would need your gender and an estimate of your physical activity level. |
 EBurrell 12 years ago | Can you tell me what my carb to protein ratio is? I’m 58 inches tall and weigh 141 lbs. I’m trying to get down to 130 lbs. |
 mjffey 12 years ago | Thanks Ossie. This should help a great deal. I lost 350 gr. in this first week. Very pleased with that.With my 5kg target for the end of October, I’m on track. I’ve eaten way more than I normally would. Tonight we are invited at Friends for diner. It’ll be Indian cooked food. |

| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | You can also take advantage of the distribution of exhchanges next to your daily menus – take a look and see how they are laid out. If you need help with this, let me know. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Marie-Jeanne. Yes, it is Osnat. I’m glad the website is working out for you 🙂
The general ratio of carbs to protein here is about 3:1 grams. Everyone’s meal pattern is different, so if you post your height and weight, I can post yours here. |
| mjffey 12 years ago | Ossie ( is that from Osnat?) If I remember well, you put up the daily combination carbs-protein somewhere up here, but I can’t find it. If I want to use generate my own meal plan, what do I have to look for regarding this combination? I see a lot of nice recipes, but have no idea how to turn that into a proper, weight losing, meal plan. Cheers,
Marie-Jeanne PS. I bought lots of nice goodies from the vegan website you gave me yesterday 🙂 |
