Hello, I am glad that someone responded on this topic. I have been looking for a similar thread to get some ideas. I have been on IP since Nov 18th. As of last week, in total, I have lost 36 lbs. I experienced some delays in Dec with having a surgery and so that was explainable. In January I lost another 10 lbs. I was following the protocol faithfully and was hoping for better results. February has been a different story. For 3 weeks, I lost nothing, gained 1lb and lost it the next week. So esssentially no action in those three weeks. I was very frustrated. I found this site and got some ideas.
1. I cut out the bar I was having for snack at night (thus having no restricted foods) to keep my daily carb intake low.
2. I changed by lunch vegetables to only raw food (celery/cucumber)
3. I eliminated cabbage (green). The vote on that was mixed, according to members of this forum.
4. I already drank 72 oz of water per day and increased it to 96 oz.
5. My coach put me on a detox (an IP protocol) thinking my liver and kidneys had become sluggish.
6. And finally I weighed my frozen veggies before cooking so they equalled the 2 cups, thinking that measuring 2 cups cooked was too much.
Well I lost 5 pounds, I was elated. I have kept that up and my scale this morning had me up a pound.
The only medication I take is for thyroid. I am taking the IP supplements.
Is there something I am missing?
