Interesting - thank you for the feedback. I was hoping to get more responses
than I did.

So any concern with the amount of protein I am eating? I figure I get
anywhere from 150 to 200 grams per day. And I only get about 30 to 50 grams
of carbs - do I need more? According to the Metabolic Typing Diet book I am
a protein type. Still I sometimes worry about eating too much protein. No?

If I split my cardio off from my resistance training then I can only do 3 to
4 cardios per week. Will that be enough? And only 16 minutes???

I will go look at that program now and thank you again.
