I didn't and haven't used any restricted products. For me, and each answer will be from a personal perspective, I lost about 4 pounds a week for 10 weeks. Some people have used restricted from the beginning without issue. You can do this one of two ways. You are paying a clinic for food and guidance, if they don't have a problem and they will sell you the restricted items (my coach won't) you can use them. If the clinic won't sell them, then you need to decide if you want them enough to order from somewhere else. As far as losing weight... it doesn't seem to effect everyone badly so, you would have to see how your body responds. To that end, you might want to have a week or two of non restricted so you can see if using restricted items does cause a slow down. If it doesn't, go for it in moderation. If it does effect you, wait and try again later.
Jordanna waited 2 months to add restricted items, has 1 or 2 a week now. She had great loss. I am not sure how bevs, or novak, or sylvie, or babs, or cw (chaplains wifey), sassy, or some of the other big losers did but, listen to their advice! They have had truly great success! |
Does anybody is able to post here the ''normal'' amount of fat, calories, and carbs, that we're supposed to eat everyday in pH1 ?
I know that we should keep under 40 g of carbs, but what are the others ? |

Phase 3 and 4 Guidelines

Here are phase 3 and 4 with explanations:

I tried to only use the restricted items on days when I'm working out. If you're craving something sweet, go for the jello. Here's a tip: Hit up the in-store deli at your local mega mart, and ask them to sell you some of their smallest plastic containers and lids. They're a lot cheaper than buying the brand name containers in the food storage section, and they're a good size for the jello. I make all 7 at once so that they're waiting in the fridge, ready to go. |

I have found that my favorite is the Capuccino drink mix, which I do as a shake by mixing it with 7 oz of cold water and using 3-4 ice cubes made from leftover coffee (I used flavored coffee too), and adding 1 packet of splenda. I have a Cook's mini blender that I use to mix it into a YUMMY coffee-flavored shake. I could have these three times a day! I am feeling SO much better and my cravings for sweets, bread and fat have GONE (never accomplished that with any other diet). Best thing is that Michael was having major problems with diabetes (type II). He was on four Metformin a day and the day before we started diet his blood sugar reading was 312 (even with the four metformin). During the first week, he reduced his metformin to 1 a day. He is now OFF the metformin and his blood sugar readings have been between 83 and 110! I wish you the best of luck with your venture. I know this site will help you. Be sure and check out the recipe sections. Nonna G |

You are smart to weight on the restricteds, IMHO, they kind of rob you during the first weeks of the potential success. After a few weeks or more, they don't seem to have the same degree of impact on weight loss. I love the idea of using the frozen coffee ice cubes. SO much better than diluting the drink with ice. I am certain that tip would be valuable to others too. You might want to post it to the recipes thread! I am so happy to hear you have better control over your food cravings. I noticed that too! I don't have nearly as much issue as I had on other diets. The best part of this diet is the health changes!! You and your husband must be so excited about his reduction in medication. :) congratulations on that benefit. |
Icw32,
Thanks for the reply~as well as the compliment. When you first begin this program a great coach will warn you that the first several days you might not feel so great. This is due to your body burning off all of the excess garbage it has stored, but following those days, your energy will soar(as your body begins to literally transform). Yeahhhhh....inches shed, muscle building, fat burning.....you'll become one great walkin', talkin' machine~I mean HUMAN BEING! (grinning, yet sincere). Considering I am new at this site I had a heck of a time getting back to this spot. Glad I found it, or your comment could have been lost among the zillions of posts here. Again thanks for replying. Have a great night, and sweet dreams. ~SmilinDi~ |

Does anyone have the vegetarian phase 1 for IP they can share?

I hope I'm writing in the correct area. Just trying to get some tips on how to incorporate Phase 4 into my life. I'm a flight attendant and try to avoid having to eat out too much while away. I have a small cooler I can bring with food and can heat up things in the oven on the plane. Trying to figure out good things to pack in my lunch box that are maintenance friendly. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I just started IP this past Tuesday, this is day 5!! I thought I was going to die the first 4 days!! I woke up this morning and feel great!! Thank you Lord because I was seriously thinking to just chaulk this up as a waste of time and money. I am hypoglycemic and it really scares me when my sugar hits low but thanks to the protein bars, I survived!! My scales indicate I am loosing a little, I will wi on Tuesday morning. I am excited now. Everyone please remember me today. I am cooking a big meal for my family. Love to read all of these blogs each day it has also helped me stick with this the last few days. I want to loose 20 pounds!!! Maybe this will be the "LAST DIET".
