Sorry for all the posts and questions .. and if this is answered somehwere already, feel free to just throw me in that direction.
I am starting the "break the cycle" diet, so obviously I am sticking to breads, rices, bananas, carrots ..etc. But, this is nowhere near enough protein for me. I am so weak right now, and dizzy and my stomach feels completely empty ... even after eating. I have high blood sugar so anytime I dont have enough protein I get shaky and weak, and if left untaken care of, I eventually pass out. I'm not sure what to do. Is there anything else that can be included in the break the cycle diet, that has protein? It has been hard enough for one day, but I can't make it for a few days .. my body is just kinda lifeless right now.
Thanks
Chelsea

Maybe some plain grilled chicken breast with some rice would help you feel better.

Immediately add some peanut butter or some cooked chicken. See if that helps.

Is that allowed during the "break the cycle" diet ... i know I can start adding other foods to my diet afterwards, but is it ok to have some now?

I'd say you have to take the breaking the cycle diet and then do whatever else you need to do....if eating what you are right now isn't enough---you have to add to it. I agree with chicken, it's pretty harmless.

If needed, safe protein is just fine during BTC. Personally, I'd avoid nut butters as they're high fat, but grilled chicken breast or fish/seafood cooked with no extra fat or spices will be just fine.
Fyi, I can't do w/out my protein either!

I'd add reduced fat peanut butter, chicken and seafood ASAP.
