Here is my situation; I have only been on this diet since April 7th. I have a vacation to Illinois coming up in July, I want to phase off so that I can enjoy vacation and be a little careless. I am planning on eating three IP "dinners" a day instead of any packets. I want to try a hamburger at this place called "moonshine" Anyways, I feel good about phasing off for vacation. When we come back I want to start back on IP phase 1 with the Alternatives found on Nashua Nutrition. My question is, has anyone had any problems with telling your coach that you are not going to be seeing them any more? I just can't afford to spend the $90 a week. I am also worried that without the high price as a motivator this diet may be less effective... Anyone else have any experience with this? I am a firm believer in doing something 100% or not at all... am I likely to fail?
