who is doing the modified phrase 1 and are you still looking?

[foreveryoung]

Haven't heard about that yet--- what's the amount of food intake for that "type" of phase?

[scorbett1103]

You may want to clarify what you are talking about - do you mean the Ideal Protein Alternative Protocol (for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia), or using alternative products but following the IP protocol?

[Lian]

yes its the alternative protocol, no health issues but was sujjested to change it up instead of phrase 1....I did hear from a friend she lost more eating this way than regular phrase 1, was wondering your thoughts.....

[Lian]

sorry phone not coperating today, you add in 3 food groups aswell as Ideal Protein....or alternative choices.

I am actually going to start the alternative protocol this week. Have been on p1 since September and I'm wanting to work out more and have some more energy so I'm going to give it a few weeks and see how it goes.

[scorbett1103]

Yes, that's the plan designed for diabetics. It is higher in calories, and does not put you in ketosis, but is still a restrictive, controlled diet that will let you lose weight. Folks who don't respond well to the regular Phase 1 diet may see that the diabetic protocol works better for their bodies.

ok perfect I will also give it a try.....and hopefully will have more energy...
