  4. I've been having a hard time with OA because it seemed there weren't any guidelines, and this really helps me. Our group is still struggling with "What is abstinance?" Thank you so much for providing this. It makes so much more sense! I do better with a little structure.

  5. Does anyone know under the protein section where it says "2 oz cottage cheese or ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup or 2 oz......................count as 1 protein." Does the 'count as 1 protein' mean 1 ounce of protein?
    I ask this because if 2oz of ricotta cheese counts as 1 ounce of protein, I am having 4oz ricotta cheese as my breakfast portion of protein under Basic Plan 1.

    1. As far as I understand, 1 protein means just that, a serving of protein. So 2 ounces of ricotta would equal one serving of protein.

    1. In regular OA, it would be up to you and your sponsor. In CEA-HOW, you add more protein if you are tall, up to 6 oz. Also, after 30 days you add in one grain at a time as long as you are still losing. And you add in more food when you hit maintenance weight.

    2. Jane, thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate you taking out time to respond. So for CEA-How you add one grain after 30 days? In regular OA for the dignity of choice high protein plan would you add a grain as well. Also after 90 days are you suppose to add more food or no?

    1. This pamphlet gives the 3 meals a day, nothing in between plan as one of half a dozen options. The bedtime metabolic is part of the Food Addicts Anonymous plan, I believe.

  13. Does anyone know how many rice cakes I can have?

  14. I would consider rice cakes a starch, so depending upon the plan you choose, I'd say 1 or 2 at the most. For myself, I chose a high protein plan, so I would pass on rice cakes.
