I used to work at Ruby Tuesday too - 10 years ago. Their "Ruby Tuesday seasoning" which goes on almost everything (potato salad, french fries, etc.) definitely has MSG. I read the shaker one time when I was making potato salad there for the salad bar. But the salad bar is fresh, the managers make sure of that. :) Good luck on eating out!

We went to Applebees and I had the steak, except I ate all 7 oz. It tasted so good. I also had the salad bar and steamed broccoli. It was wonderful. I will ask for no seasoning next time. Thanks for the tip!

I have always thought that money issues and weight issues are intertwined along with clutter control (or lack thereof LOL.) I know when my spending is under control so is my eating. If my kitchen is clean I feel calmer and it is easier to drink a big glass of water or have a cup of herbal tea than to "cheat." We humans are just so weird! Quantum physics fascinates me. Observing electrons makes them change behavior. Observing a human makes them turn to look at you. Animals can sense our moods. Something wonderful and mysterious is going on around us at all times. Here on the forum we often have the same issues at the same time. Very interesting to me. We are meant to be here now, sharing this "lose weight and get healthy" journey at exactly the same time. We are pioneers! Some day in the near future, everyone in the U.S. will have at least heard of Ideal Protein. It's too good to ignore! Until next time, Your cyber buddy...... |

Question, did any of your ladies get a later TOM date after starting this diet?
|
Hi Everyone! Have enjoyed reading all your posts so far. Lots of info and seems like lots of different variations on the program.
I just started this week, I'm not finding it too bad, but honestly, the taste of the food is making me think I'm going to have to quit. I have had to dilute all the drinks, etc., but still find they taste funny to me. Omelet OK. Cereal - gross. Do the vegetable have to be cooked, or can they be raw? Also, I saw that you're supposed to be taking an Omega 3 and an Anti-Oxy + Enzymes. The place I am using doesn't have them, and I haven't found them on-line either. Is anyone taking these? Curious about the person eating real food now and then. Any other helpful tips? Never, ever posted on a forum before, so don't actually know what I am doing!! ;-) Looking to lose about 60 pounds. |

Have you tried using extracts or splenda sweetened syrups to enhance the foods? My favorite is taking the vanilla pudding and adding 10 oz of water to it, and two scoops of instant coffee. I drink that most every morning. Regarding the extra supplements I take an Omega 3/6/9 twice a day but that's something I got from my local drug store and not from IP. I don't take the anti-oxidants or the enzymes. I also take Vitamin D everyday too :) Most veggies can be raw - they recommend the peppers be cooked but many people on IP eat them raw anyway. |
Libbyshims -- We can have Walden Farms Chocolate sauce? I have to go find some.... sounds delish!
Thanks. |

Well I did it, I went through the Wendy's Drive-Through and bought the double cheeseburger!!!:burger::eek::yikes::yikes:
But ha ha!.. it was for my dog's birthday (Beauregarde, basset hound, age 3) and that is his annual goodie. He only gets ketchup not the other toppings :) He woofed it down but then it was my turn.... And I was prepared. I made myself the turnip fries for the first time and they were wonderful (limp but I didn't mind!). Then I had a ground beef patty w/ garlic, spicy mustard, raw onion round and dill pickle slices. It was great! I did have a bit of the Walden Farms thick & Spicy BBQ sauce with it too. I'm afraid to look on that label to see what's in that Walden Farms stuff. I look forward to attempting the fries again, maybe this weekend. This first go round I think I cut the strips up too thin and made the mistake of perhaps too much oil on the baking sheet. But I ask you, who knew one could find nirvana in a turnip?:D |
Hi everyone! Trying to catch up on posts and get back into the swing of things.
Birman-- I was just reading through the posts, and saw your link to an old post you had written. In it, you mention your concerns that this diet isn't 100% healthy for an extended period of time. My boyfriend and I have had this thought in the back of our minds for a while, especially after being advised so by our friends who are doctors, and we've been feeling more strongly lately. I've been having some health issues the past two weeks that I feel are directly related to the diet (I felt SO GOOD while we were on vacation and eating normally), and we're considering going off soon and transferring into a diet that is more balanced and more conducive to my health needs. We're still very committed to eating healthy and losing weight, I just think I've reached a point where it's not worth the negative side effects that I've been experiencing anymore (and he's fed up with the daily headaches and feeling of being "out of it" that he's had for a while now). I noticed that you said that you were alternating between IP and "your regular diet". Would you mind elaborating on what your regular diet is? We're really looking for something that's going to allow us to continue to lose weight, even if it is at a slower pace, but that will allow me to take medications that I need to take and to experience fewer flare-ups and side effects than I've been experiencing. Also, I agree with you on the money-eating-clutter thing. I am the SAME WAY. I'm notoriously inconsistent in all of these areas. And when I'm on in one area, I'm on across the board, but if the dishes aren't done and the laundry is all over the floor, I'm looking for a snack, and it's not an IP product!!! :dizzy: |
