I did Phase 2 for a week and have been in Phase 3 for 6 days. I exercise everyday (moderate for 1 hour). I just don't feel as good as I felt in Phase 1 & 2. My energy is decreasing and my brain is getting foggier. Cravings have come back. I am still taking the vitamins/supplements. |

i noticed in another post that you add whey protein to your maple grove farms pancakes. i have used these since about week 4 instead of the IP pancakes since they have better carb/fat.protein ration IMHO. do you think it's necessary to add the whey protein while i'm still in phase 1(almost phase 2)? your input would be greatly appreciated, you have been truly inspiring on 3fc for me:) |

I am a little confused, though. Was your plan to go to maintenance before your vacation (and before reaching your goal), and then to start up Phase 1 again in August and finish the job? If so, then don't fret about not losing. The important thing is to do the Phase 3 step properly before entering Phase 4. If your initial goal is likely to change from 145 to 135 or some other number, it doesn't matter what your current weight is. Follow Bev's Phase 3 advice and you'll feel better, then enjoy your vacation. When you get back, start up Phase 1 again and get yourself to that final target weight (before entering Phase 3). |

Yes the original plan was to be in Phase 4 during vacation and then resume the program when I got home. I don't plan on eating my way through my trip but just want a bit more leeway than Phase 1-3 offer. I think part of the problem is that I am not finished losing and my body has got into the groove of dropping pounds. My body and mind were not prepared for the transition. I think I will go back to Phase 2 to finish this week and then follow Phase 3 carefully for two weeks. I will take your advice Novak and not worry. I know IP works, so in August I can finish the job. Thanks for your input. All of you girls have done an amazing job with your own weight loss. I hope each one of you realize that by sharing your knowledge and experience on these boards you have probably helped numerous lurkers (like me) succeed with IP. :hug: A million thanks to all of you!

Hello everyone from others Phase !
I have a question ! I'm planning with BF a vacation to the US, on the first week of august, and I'm also going to Walt Disney on the last week of august. I know that I won't be able to be on plan (I prefer to be honest with myself, I know I'll cheat, so I prefer to be off plan for a week, instead of feeling guilty and wasting money), and it'll be the same thing for th end of august. I'm wondering what I should do. Should I take a week off plan (without maintenance, then phase 1 for two weeks, then 1 week off plan, and then phase 1 till goal ? Or Should I start going into maintenance, and then, off on phase 4 for all august, and then, back phase 1 full force till goal ? I'm kinda confused because in an ideal world (no pun intended), I should do phase 1 anyway, all my vacations, but I know I'll not do it. I'va already taked a break of one week without maintenance phase before (doctor order), and I was fine, but I know that throwing myself in and out of ketosis is not good for me..So I'm lost :dizzy: I'll not go crazy with foods during my vacations, I'll be really carefull anyway but.. I don't know what to do. After August, I'll be anyway back full force on phase 1, and I'm planning about 3 others months WITHOUT (I swear!!!!) cheating, so my pancreas will be reset.. I'll do after that every others phase in the good order.. I really value your opinion so I wanted to know what do you guys think ! |

If you do this, just make sure you complete a full two weeks of Phase 3 before moving on to Phase 4. I don't know exactly when your first trip starts, but if you don't have time to squeeze in two weeks of Phase 2 before entering Phase 3, do as many days as you can... but DON'T do less than two weeks of Phase 3. (I love Disney World :D Where are you staying?) |
Help!
Good Morning All!
I need some expert advice. ;) Bevs! Novak! I'm moving to Phase 3 today and I've been freaking out. I went shopping 3 times trying to find "ideal" whole wheat bread and everything has high fructose corn syrup in it. So really my question is do you go by the actually ingredients in the items or just nutritional values to meet the required 30g grain carbs? Also how do you get your 25g of breakfast protein? Do you have any suggestions. :(:( |
Quote:
Using variations on the sample menus (I made sure that my substitutions matched the values of those I removed), I was able to hit all the targets. Make sure you include the protein values of all the items, including the fruit, fat and grains... it's not that hard to hit 25. But if you can't, don't stress about it; just make sure you have all the groups covered. And BTW, look at you! Awesome job! :) |

I think I've figured out today's breakfast! I'm not as excited as I thought I would have been. (well the strawberries are looking kinda good! ;) ) Bread use to be my worst enemy and now I could care less! Isn't that crazy!! Again thank you for all the contributions you give to this forum. :hug: |

What is the reason for exactly 2 weeks of phase 3 ?
Quote:
Do you think that staying in phase 1 till my vacations, 1 week off, 2 week phase 1 and 1 week off could be really dangerous for my health ? I'm kinda worried about the WD foods and everything, and also I think that by the end of this month, I could be able to shed another 10-15 pounds off, so I'm a little reticent about going to maintenance mode.. I'm wondering if the 2 week of phase 1 between the vacations could be kind of ''damage control week''. I hate to admit it, but I'm really afraid of phase 2-3-4. :?: |
