My staples, however, are EAS shakes (Sam's), Detour Bars (Sams), Pure Protein Bars (Sams) & Muscle Milk Lite (Sams). With that said I like the HealthSmart puddings alot too. Good Luck all

Bella! So glad to see you back! I wondered what you were up to.

Good morning all! I was so happy to meet with my coach last night. She is allowing me to stay as a client with only purchasing a small amount of IP each week. Therefore, I will be doing some alternative, some IP. More alternatives than IP's but I appreciate that she is still willing to help me. I love the accountability of the weigh in, and measurements.
Hope you all are having a good day!

I had my Strawberry Creme Wonderslim pudding/shake this morning, as a shake. It tasted like a Carnation Instant Breakfast- I loved it! I am really digging the Wonderslim product variety, and the free shipping over $49. Also, they are located on the East Coast so they got to my house in just 3 days. I think I found my new diet food source!

Love your avatar!! Where did you get it?
I do a combo of IP and alternatives as my local clinic rarely has anyone there, they don't stock and last time I pre-ordered, they lost my food! So I started with alternatives so I would have something to eat. Am very careful, don't buy any of the bars or restricteds for fear I might overeat them...have a sweet tooth...
Use a lot of soups and the proti-diet pancakes.

OMG you are too awesome. Thanks so for sharing. I'm terrified to leave my clinic and go it on my own but I have to--even though the results are worth it, that ~300/month had to be reallocated unfortunately--but don't want to sacrifice the first good results I've ever had on a diet. I did know as soon as I realized I needed to make that change that 3FC would have my back ;-)

Nevermind! I withdraw the question. Not impressed with the ingredients in their bars.

Arrow Root?
Hi - I'm starting IP on Monday (without using their products) so I'm without a coach, ans we curious, if you can use arrow root when cooking. I have read up on Paleo and they use arrowroot instead of cornstarch when cooking and was just curious if it would be IP friendly as well, since there is a bit of cross-over between Paleo and IP - minus the IP foods. Let me now what you think!

This may just be me but for the past three days i've been having the ProtiDiet Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal for lunch as a non-restricted and I've been having EXTREMELY bad cravings. I'm up 0.6lbs at my WI this morning I talked to my coach about it and she said that it may be causing the cravings. I don't know why but I'm going to try going back to what I was having before at lunch and see if that makes a difference. SIGH! I love that stuff!

I can totally understand the financial part of it, if it wouldn't be for my mom paying for mine I would not have been able to do it, so I thank her every day for it. There is enough support and knowledge on these boards that it is possible to do it without a coach. Use the Challenge as an accountability tool for you and also report everyday on the daily thread

I know you aren't doing IP products but the oatmeal is considered "restricted". You might wanna try to find one without the maple brown sugar or just go with a plain old fashion oatmeal. You can cook it in the microwave for 4:20 mins and VIOLA...breakfast!

You can order them online from WalMart. They're a "home free" item, meaning if you order more than $45 worth at a time, they'll ship to your home free.
