  • Quote: Waterbaby- is today for 4th day back OP or your 4th day on Athletic or are they one in the same? The reason I ask is because if it is your 4th day total back OP, the 5 pounds would be skewed b/c of the big drop in the first week. Just curious. I am starting day 3 of the Athletic Protocol but I am challenging myself to stay off of the scale, so I won't really know until Wed. how it worked
    It's my second week OP. My first week OP I was added 1 bar before my shorter runs (4-5 miles) and a bar before and a shake after my long run (11 miles). At WI #1, I was down 1 lb. This week I told myself to stay off the scale as well, but I was feeling pretty good with the running so i was curious We'll see how it goes on Monday.
  • Quote: I found the Athletic Protocol on a different thread on this forum. I know a lot of people have been asking about it so I decided to start a new thread in hopes that it is easier to find later . MuayThaiGoddess originally posted it and she got it from her coach. The formatting is a copy and paste from the forum so the formatting is not the greatest, but you can format to you liking. Hope this helps!!
    Hi, PLease check out what I just posted as a new thread. I scanned the actual sheet!
  • Quote: You are awesome!!!!
    Jennydoodle, I finally posted the protocol I got from my coach!
  • Quote: Can you also post this in the Ideal Protein - Phases (sticky) so taht we can always access it?

    Thanks! I'm going to start working out now that I am close to my goal. It's helpful to know which packets to add and how long after working out to drink them.
    I just posted the PROTOCOL sheet, however, I haven't been able to make it a sticky!? Help??
  • Quote: Just to let you girls know, I talked to my doc today @ WI and told him I found the info for the Athletic Protocol and how it called for 6-7 packets. We dicussed my going to 5 packets on days I work out to see how it affects my losses. Right now I am at 4 packets and he wants to see if working out and adding more protein will help or hinder my losses. I am pretty much the guinea pig at the office.

    I will definitely keep you posted on how this works out.
    Jennydoodle, that sounds about right! Looks like I will be adding 2 packets for now until I phase off later when I get into heavier miles per week and longer runs and will need to add the complex carbs.

    Let me know how your "experiment" goes.
  • Quote: I'm going to do this too. I've done Phase 1 today with the addition of a hard boiled egg at breakfast and lunch. I'll have a post-workout shake, dinner, then my evening snack.

    It's 5 miles today (uggh, in this grueling heat, will probably have to wait until a little later). Will see how I feel.
    Good fr you! Hope you see my post and attachment! Keep up the good work!
  • Hello everyone, hope it's not overkill but I wanted to mention it again here since I haven't responded to all of you...I posted the actual IP Athlete Protocol I got from my coach but don't know how to make it a sticky.

    If you are interested in getting it directly via email, please send me a private message with your email address and I will be happy to send it to you!
  • Thanks for posting the sheet. I can certainly say I feel MUCH better on the 5 packets than I did on the 4, without question. Even my workouts feel so much better.

    Waterbaby- good to know it is your 2nd week. I am hoping for something closer to the 3-7# average this week!
