Exercise on Phase 1
Hi Everyone!
Can someone point me in the right direction for a plan for phase 1 with exercise? I saw a few posts on it but I think I need a more "ideal" plan. I work out 5 days a week, 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of weights. Some days I skip weights and just do cardio. To compensate, would I just add 1 packet after my workout? Thanks!

Hopefully other will chime in, but from what I understand of IP and P1 calorie intake, that is way too much to sustain with just an extra packet. You would be risking your health. A modified P2, maybe - do you have a coach?

I was told - no Cardio . If what you are doing makes you breathe heavy, panting, sweating etc. it is highly not recommended.

I have something in my files called the IP Athlete Protocol. It is from 2012, so some things have changed (like unlimited veggies), Swede (=Rutabaga) was select, Bell peppers were occasional, my beloved Chayote isn't on the list....
In looking for an updated version, I found this, which is very helpful. Lisa outlines all the differences.

Snack 1-2 IP protein packs
It was noted to have 1-2 g protein per pound of lean body weight (not total body weight...lean mass is everything minus fat).
The sheet notes this at the bottom:
IMPORTANT - Reduce intensity of training, at this point priority is on conserving existing mass and trimming fat. Post workout (within 45 minutes) - Drink 2 envelopes: Peach Mango, Pineapple Banana, or orange Drink. (I added: choose lowest carb, lowest fat, lowest cal packets. Probably could add here the rasp jelly, lemonade, and the blue/cran granata)
It also notes on the bottom of the page to do cardio in the morning. Never get out of breath, 45 minutes performed 4-5 times Per week.
There is no date on the protocol sheet but I found it in 2011, so it is several years old.

My coach had a heavy-duty athlete on the program, and she also added one plain baked potato for him.
I exercised a lot during P1, and she offered that option to me, but for me one or two extra packets worked fine and I didn't want to add the potato.

Grateful - what form of exercise did you do and how much? I really feel like I need to exercise which my coach said is okay as long as it's not cardio so I thought I'd do hand weights. Did you consistently add extra packets or anything else? My coach told me to add an extra packet or an extra protein on days I exercise.

Weights are good on this protocol as long as you are not pushing high levels, go for more 'strength and endurance' rather than 'power'. Another option for eating while exercising at slightly higher intensity is using Alternative Diabetic P1 or P2. This adds a small serving of fruit, a serving of low fat dairy, and a small serving of starch carb per day -not to be taken at the same meal. Works well for those that need to keep their blood sugars slightly higher and need more carbs to function effectively.
Something to check into with your coach. If they haven't heard of it, they need to get in contact with the head office of IP who can fill them in.
If you are already used to exercise don't quit it entirely but you will need to scale back a bit and listen to your body carefully.

Thanks! I'm back on plan without a coach this time. I did my first WI this morning and wanted to die. PMS + normal weight gain is not my friend. I did two IP packets and I'm doing my cardio day today and will see how it goes. I may switch to Yoga + Pilates instead of my kick boxing and weights classes and then just do regular Phase 1 + an extra packet after the workout if I find it to be too much.
