KNM, I did something very similar to what Briael describes through most of my year long P1, and it worked great for me.
I just pretty much did whatever I needed to stay OP and use the allotted foods. I just figured better to find a way to keep going and stay compliant than go off program. Better for my pancreas, organs, and mental state. Good luck! |
Thank you I needed to read this!

What my previous coach had told me was that if you cheat, it will take your body 4 days to put yourself back into ketosis. When I did have my cheat meal, I weighed in and lost the most I'd ever lost in a week. 6 lbs. I can totally see how you would be likely to cheat again in the near future. It wasn't long after that I quit the diet altogether. Today is my day one. I have my husband doing it with me so I'm more excited to stay with it.

My favorite slight cheats on the Ideal Protein diet, in the first week, that don't seem to boot me out of the ketosis box at all:
Wendys- Get the Baconator, with no sauce, no cheese, and 2 orders of extra bacon. Toss the buns of course. Seems to fulfill the 8 oz meal protein requirement very nicely. $8 approx. Jack in the Box: Get the Jumbo Platter (breakfast, avail all day), and throw out the potato and stack of mini pancakes. Order it with both sausage and bacon, with 2 orders of extra bacon. The eggs in this are very tasty. Seems to fulfill the Snack requirement or maybe the 8 oz protein meal. $6 approx. I am not a doctor... LOL. - Watch out for the choc balls/ puffs, I ate the whole box of 7 before starting the diet.... Also the Double choc brownies are very, very tasty. I will have to lock these up. - I don't recommend the Choc/Peanut butter bars- they taste like a cross between Monsanto livestock feed and Dick Cheney's immortal soul. Also, as a caffeine addict, I am afraid I can't give up diet Pepsi very easily. So I am titrating it with 50% water and ice cubes, and I will stop next week, I promise.... Zevia Cola seems like it will save me, it has NO phosphoric acid, that hurts my joints (osteoarthritis), and only stevia. So it is very benign I think. Both diet Pepsi and Zevia cola haven't hurt the diet yet... They DID say to drink lots of "water", right ????? (Orig 414 lb, now 398 after 1.0 week... Goal: 250? ) |
I'm trying so hard to not cheat, but I still ate 2 little prices of a dark chocolate dove bar and it's only my first week! I just couldn't control myself! I really feel guilty! I don't think I'll ever be able to stop eating chocolate! :( I don't know what to do,help!?

If it is due to needing a chocolate fix, there are plenty of good ways with the IP foods to satisfy that. The dark chocolate pudding cup is one. And, I posted a recipe for chocolate cake that I ate every day (it is its own thread so if you search for me for threads I started, you will find it easily. Because it was recent you may even find it on the 2nd page of the overall threads without even having to search.) I made it with chocolate drink mix. If it is cheating overall you are worried about, I think you'll find that as you get success, you'll want more of it which will trigger more compliance. |
If I have to cheat, I cheat with something fatty. It will slow me down, but I won't go out of ketosis. Granted, if I didn't have my scattered weekends involving chicken wings or bacon, I might be done by now, but it kept me sane. We're all human. Just know how to do it without slowing down too much.

Two week vacation - don't want to cheat
Staying on track without any cheating since I began the IP program has been challenging. However, I have managed to stick with it. Headed on a two week vacation to Belize next Monday, November 28. Just hoping I have the will power to stay on track. Have checked in to the veggies and apparently not a big part of Belizian diet. Only two days. In a place with 3 meals a day and have request a gluten free diet and lots of green low carb veggies. They said they would do their best. Of course I will bring a big supply of IP foods.
My goal is to be on maintenance by the end of January when I go to Hawaii to celebrate a friend'S 60 bday. May not be realistic. If I have lost 2.5 lbs at today's weigh in, I have 11 more lbs to go. And I have to get through Christmas. Help! Any advice? |

my coach says I can have an egg every day is hungry. Works well for me; I keep hard boiled eggs in my fridge. |
