It did....I read that tip in my packet of information but was skeptical...thank you again!
So Im wondering if anyone else felt that the packets leave a little to be desired (taste wise) Do you get used to this? I had the cream of chicken soup for lunch yesterday and did not enjoy it at all :?: I am hoping the food grows on me b/c I am in this for the long haul!

Hey there! I am glad your headache went away. I start my 4th week tomorrow. The first three days were the worst for me (starting the evening of the first day). After that, it is all uphill and gets way better!
If you really aren't feeling well, my package suggested that you could add a second potassium supplement when you take them in the morning. I find that I feel good with 2 potassium, so I always take 2. Check with your coach if you think this may be something that you might want to try. If you read the bottle, it says to take 1 or 2.
As for the food, it does take some getting used to but it's not so bad. Here's what I have used:
-
Cereal: a little powdery, so it needs constant stirring but I don't find it so bad and it has become one of my staple foods;
-
Mushroom soup: I cook mushrooms on the side and add them in;
-
Tomato basil soup: I add a capful of apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, sea salt, pepper and drink from a cup;
-
Leek soup: I added onion, celery and leek and blended... not one of my favorites though...
-
Omelet: too heavy for me to eat in the morning but I enjoy it with a salad for lunch;
-
Chocolate pancake/muffin mix (restricted - limited to 1 per day): I made it into 2 mini muffins and I rather enjoyed it;
-
RTD chocolate drink: my favorite evening snack;
-
RTD vanilla drink: one of my favorite breakfasts - I also add some to coffee in the morning and it's fine (except for the sludge in the bottom of the cup) - my coach said it was not substantial enough for breakfast and that I would be hungry but I am fine... I do carry hard boiled egg whites to work just in case I get hungry (on my coach's advice - you might want to check with yours before doing any such thing) but I usually only need those in the late afternoon (if at all);
-
Choco-raspberry bars (restricted - limited to 1 per day): Awesome!
-
Salt & vinegar ridges (restricted - limited to 1 per day): Awesome!
-
Apple cinamon soy puffs (restricted - limited to 1 per day): Awesome!
-
Spaghetti bolognese (restricted - limited to 1 per day and no more than twice per week): I cook mushrooms first (just in a little olive oil), then I add the water and the spaghetti mix as per the instructions... I enjoy this!
I also like the
Pure Protein bars, which according to what I read on this board are supposed to be similar to IP bars... (restricted - limited to 1 per day).
As you progress on the diet, your taste buds do change and I am already noticing this at this early stage.
Good luck to you! I think you will do great! :)
