Thanks for the input, but this particular diet is not a calorie counting diet, there are completely different restrictions on what we can and can't have - unfortunately neither of these things fit the bill.

To the OP, I'm a big fan of NOT making food the focus - I will still be on Phase 1 for my birthday and so I am just celebrating in non-food ways. As I have said in other threads, NOTHING is worth me having to extend my time on the diet by even one day.

It also looked to me like some responses were from non-IP dieters. IP is not just about calories! Be careful to only listen to responses from people on IP.
I'll be on P1 for my birthday (milestone: 50). I really like cheesecake so we may (or may not) have an IP version.
I also really like seafood. At this point, it is almost a no-brainier. Fresh, healthy low-fat seafood or a treat?

I've made it thru many other celebrations & I'll stay 100% OP for this one too. Why would I extend P1 longer or jeopardize my momentum? When I started IP, I figured I'd be on P1 for about 10 months. There really wasn't a "best" time to start. There was bound to be a food event (or many!) in any 10-month period I chose.
Besides, if I'm to keep off the weight, I need to learn to view food and food events differently.

Good luck and happy birthday!

Total agreement Lisa...there are always excuses to cheat, if you look for them. It's so much more satisfying to overcome an "excuse" and stay 100%

Also, just saw this original thread is from March 2011.

Looks like it was a question from a new IP dieter about EAS shakes...probably just an error in how she posted it.

Yup. Thanks for pointing out. New person just confused about thread to post in...and I usually check those dates on OP

kimbow: if u find this thread again, your questions will be easily answered in the IP daily chat AND we have an alternative thread for LOTS of IP alternative ideas.
