Maureen - lots of people use alternative products and have great success. It's a little more work to figure out what products fit the IP profile but there is an alternatives thread that has tons of good ideas.

B: Milk chocolate pudding heated up with coffee
L: Chocolate soy puffs w/2 cups zucchini & cucumbers & lettuce
D: Scrambled eggs w/mushrooms
S: Strawberry pudding made into a shake

Snow day today (they called school before it started snowing due to forecast)

B coffee/vanilla shake
After gym: omelet
L: zucchini potato pancake +1 Bubbies pickle
S: WLS cocomint cream heated (hot cocoa on a snowy day)
D: beef pot roast with mushrooms, leeks, celery over bed of lettuce +1 Bubbies pickle

I'm going to look for recipes to make my own naturally brined pickles so I don't need to keep paying for Bubbies

sunflwr816, good luck with your first day! Are you counting your pure protein bar as two "packets" because of high protein/calories/carbs? Otherwise, I think you're short a packet, and then the bar may not be the most compliant choice.

For my day, phase 1 with alternatives:

B - EAS chocolate shake
L - Romaine salad with red peppers, mushrooms, cukes, celery and vinaigrette dressing; Muscle Milk 100 shake
D - Roast pork over roasted cabbage and broccoli
S - Pure Protein chocolate shake

Hi Maureen,
Protidiet is an "alternative" product to Ideal Protein

Thanks Trinny!
The PP revolution bar is 180 cal, 20g protein, 17g total carb, 6g total fat. I just assumed it was so high in carbs/fat/cal that I should count it as 2 packets. Also, would this be considered a "restricted"/once a week type IP packet/item? I'm not sure how I can get three IP alternative products in a day unless I drink 3 shakes a day....

[Hockeymom40]

B - Healthwise oatmeal with diced zucchini (not restricted)
L - Ranch Chips with Brocomolli dip
S - Aloha Mango shake.
D - Chicken Thai lettuce wraps
S - Hot chocolate

I work with a coach at a clinic. They use Health Wise products that are the same as Health Smart available on Nashua Nutrition. She said since protein and calories are lower than IP products I need to have 4 packets. I lost 18 lbs before the holidays and I'm back again to get to my goal weight.

[Mom2Carter]

Breakfast - half a vanilla Premier Protein shake with coffee

Lunch - zucchini chips and chocolate brownie Quest bar

Dinner - Whole chicken in crockpot with turnips

Snack - half a chocolate Premier Protein shake

I'm super hungry today, so I added a salad with romaine and a sliced hard boiled egg on top. I lightly dressed it with a homemade mustard vinaigrette (mustard/garlic/apple cider vinegar/salt/pepper/thyme and olive oil) - soo good!!

[nolasmurf]

B: coffee and EAS French vanilla
L: 2 cups romaine, 1 cup spinach , 1/4 peppers , 1/4 cared onions, 1/2 cup cucumber with WF dressing

Thanks for the mustard vinegarette. I never eat plain lettuce cause its boring, but that dressing made it so yummy. Now I'll use it when I'm craving something!
