Scoop of protein powder. Reboot?

[Knesebeck]

One scoop whey protein powder in day 20.

Is that grounds for a redo?

[Tom Denham]

Yep. Start over. A scoop of whey protein powder is enough to ruin 20 days of gut healing.

Hi Tom, can you tell me any source of protein available if I am being asked (by doc) to go on "clear liquids only" for 3 days prior to a colon exam? I can get my oil from olive oil added to my veggie juice, (I am overseas right now and that's all they have at my hotel) but not sure where to come up with any protein... DO NOT WANT TO RUIN MY WHOLE 3O which is going SWIMMINGLY well--(day 10) I can't put this off though--have to be done with the 3 days by Sunday. If I can't find it, my juice options are only cucumber & carrot (I'm overseas) and there isn't enough protein in those to do much. I also have chicken broth (organic by pacific foods) but there is nothing much in there, either)

Any ideas?

make your own bone broth. If you really think you need to, you can go with some compliant BCAAs (they will taste absolutely disgusting, btw)

You will not die from going without protein for 3 days for doc's orders.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to cook in my hotel room, I have to go with what I can buy or "warm up" and in China, it's best that I stick with what my hotel offers (best quality I would find at this stage) What are "BCAA's"? (I'm really new to this... If I don't have protein for 3 days, should I increase my fat (drink more olive oil, or put olive oil in the broth?) Or just go for the carrot & Cucumber juices and deal? I am doing so well on this plan, I don't want to screw it up (meaning I never want to go back to the cravings I had in the past! I FEAR them! Thanks, Savanna
