My coach has me on an extra protein a day but not a package, just the collagen in my water in the afternoon. We'll see if it changes anything :)

Wish I had more to report from the doc's PeginNH and CinammonSparkles. The answer was the diet is safe long term and that some of the things in the book aren't consistent with the current diet. They aren't really sure why-maybe since the book is so old. Wish I had a better answer.
I spoke with my endocrinologist too about my thyroid meds. He said they don't change that much with weight loss. I was surprised since I thought they would. I did not explain the IP diet because I was worried he wouldn't approve! But didn't someone here say they no longer took thyroid meds after this diet?? :chin::easter2::easter2: Gotta love all the choices of fun animations. |
Hi all! Well, had my WI today and I've stayed exactly the same as last week. But I did have that KFC cheat on Sunday. But here's the thing, my coach said that she thinks I knocked myself out of ketosis since I didn't loose and am having all these cravings (even though I told her the cravings were driving me insane way before I cheated) so, she doesn't think I should eat any of the restricted stuff for a week, or at least 4 days till I'm back in ketosis. So, why would that matter? I've counted my carbs and even with the one restricted bar a day I'm still under the 30g (or was it 40g) carbs a day for ketosis, so why should it matter? I don't want to give up the bars cause I feel like they're the only thing keeping me sane.
Also, just curious maybe some of you have an answer, but how is it even possible, ketosis or not, to only be eating 700 cal/day and not loose anything for a week? I mean I lost inches still, but no lbs??? |
Its hard to keep up with you all!
2 questions: Corned Beef...allowed? It is not on my list and besides the high salt content, I am not sure what is wrong with it. Exercise....who is doing it? My coach just said to ease back into it and I should be fine, no need for an extra packet or protein. What are yours telling you? |

Week 1 -5 Week 2 -5.4 Week 3 -3.6 Week 4 -4.6 Week 5 -1.6 Week 5 -3.6 Week 6 -2.4 Week 7 - took a 5 day break went to Vegas and had a wonderful time and ate whatever I wanted. I did not weigh the week I got back at my coaches but on my scale after being home and back on IP 1 day I was at the same weight as when I left for Vegas. Week 8 -2.2 Week 9 -1.6 Week 10 -4.4 I feel if I get hungry and eat a 4th protein it will not hurt my loss too bad. It is a better choice than eating potato chips or chocolate. I think we tend to eat the same thing every day and our body gets used to it so it helps to throw it a curve ball now and again. I am at the lowest weight right now that I have been in 5 years and have 24 more until I reach my goal. If it comes off a little slower than some, so be it. I don't feel deprived and I should still reach my goal by summer. I also think that losing a little slower helps the loose skin catch up, just my theory though.;) Good Luck with your weigh in tomorrow and don't let the scale get you down. As long as you are following the plan the pounds and inches are melting away and befor you know it you will meet your goal! |
This is a website I came across when I first started IP. I think it has some useful information and may answer some of the questions you all are having. It has some of the same information we have in our packets we received from our coach but it also has some other things. I have not read it for awhile and am planning on reviewing it myself.
http://www.ihpweightloss.com/ Here is sentence out of the supplement section on this website. The supplement they are talking about here is potassium. Remember our dieters are required to consume 4 cups of vegetables, two green salads and a portion of whole protein per day. |
so my doctor's verdict is my rash is contact dermatitis. Some how, some way, I got poison ivy in March in PA. He did say oils can last for over a year, and I think that's what happens, have medicine to make it go away quicker. At least he really doesn't think the soy protein is causing this so I can keep having all the IP products I like. Oh well, hope this goes away. I went to red lobster with a friend tonight, as am so proud of myself, no bread, no sauce on my shrimp, broccoli and a salad, I'm a little concerned the broccoli might have had some butter, but not too too concerned as it was only a hint, so I'm happy, weigh in Friday, let's see what happens.

Received two random positive comments from co-workers today. First was "You are looking so skinny"--thank you very much, but I do not qualify as skinny by any stretch of the imagination. Second was "Whatever you are doing you are looking good and I think I have found what you have lost." It really lifted my spirits.

As far as the exercise goes. I am really trying to get back into some routine. However, on my week 9 I lifted weights twice and walked 3 times. I only lost 1.6 pounds. My week 10 I did not have time to exercise at all and I lost 4.4 pounds. HMMM, pretty strange. |
