Hi everyone. I've been doing IP for the last 9+ months and lost 63 lbs. I feel like I should lose about 7 more so when I go into maintenance and maybe adjust by gaining a few lbs, it will help. But I seem to be stuck at the 63 lbs loss. I'm also getting really tired of a whole life of IP but even tho I'm still doing phase I and not really losing anymore, it's making me fear going in to other phases and what will happen.
My coach was also useless during the whole time, and I really need help to see some sample menus for Phase 3 and 4. I've seen a ton of recipes, but i need help with whole day menu samples. Can you guys help??? |

Hello everyone. Im excited to start IP on my own. I ordered some material about the program and printed out some food comparison charts in case I want to order alternative products but I am still a little confused about a few basic ideas of phase 1. From what I understand, per day it's:
3 IP packets, 5-8oz protein (I have a list of permitted items), 4 cups of veggies (I have a list of permitted items), 64 oz of water, supplements and 1-2 teaspoons of olive/grape seed oil. My question is....is a soup pack the same as a pudding or drink mix or soy puff or protein bar?? I understand that some items are "restricted" meaning 1 per day but does a pudding or an orange drink mix etc count as an actual IP MEAL PACKET or are these things snacks?? I am about to order some food and I just want to be clear. Any help would be great. Thank you!! |

just started 3rd week
It was great to find this blog with other people doing the same diet!! Thanks for being out there!
I've just started and my coach was unavailable this past week so I've only see her once. It says on the phase 1 instruction, "sweetener permitted", but my coach didn't know anything about it at my first visit. Does anyone know what sweetener is allowed? And I love the chocolate pre-mixed drinks. Does the powdered chocolate drink taste the same? edit: I'm reading through past posts and noticing that some are told to join the "daily post" - can someone provide a link to that - so I can find it? Really want to gain from the experience of others who've been on the diet for awhile successfully.. http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar070...0/135/206/.png |

I never tried the chocolate RTD so I can't help you there, but I like the chocolate pudding made into a 'shake' by adding a little extra water. Here's the link to today's daily thread IP Daily Chat Thursday 2/2/2012. Welcome again and jump right in!! |
Does anyone have a Phase 4 pdf ?

be patient with me. I'm new this blogging stuff and can't figure out to post a new post after a thread is closed. so didn't know how to get this on the daily post -- this is a phase question anyway so maybe it belongs here.
Saw my coach yesterday. She was unavailable last week so the receptionist at the front desk filled my food order. My 3rd order form. When my coach saw it, she was upset because I had ordered and ate a package of "spaghetti bolognese" during my last week. She said I wasn't allowed to have this yet. that it's only given to men. Said I can only have the chili. Can you tell what phase women can have the "spaghetti bolognese"? The only answer my coach had was that I had to wait until I reintroduced carbohydrates. We were interrupted and she needed to get the phones. I couldn't wait so went to my next appt while she waved goodbye. |

Stew IP
I haven't seen the stew available in my area? Is it phased out? I heard of the new "mashed potatoes" and saw someone post about a stew...I live in Northern NJ.
