It's mandatory, I just want to learn how to explain it to a non IP person who is supporting me...but has lots of questions lol. I need his words as I'm stumbling over mine . I'll keep looking...never thought to look on his actual website.

Does anyone know if it's even in the book (where)...??
I have it written in my IP Phase 4 Dieter's Handout given to me by my coach.

"THE CHEAT DAY....It is not recommended but mandatory to take one day out of the week and indulge in your favorite foods with all the trimmings. This cheat day of course should never turn into a cheat week. What is considered a cheat? That’s entirely up to you! What do you love to eat? And there is no guilty feeling afterwards or worry that the weight will be put back on. The following day you will eat as you did in phase 1 and restrict carbohydrates. We know that a carbohydrate and a fat is a bad food combination in the presence of insulin. Insulin is the key that stores the combination into the fat cell (weight gain!). therefore we restrict carbohydrates and we will have a very little glycemia in our blood and the pancreas will produce very little insulin. No extra insulin means no key, so no fat storage. Our bodies will eliminate the “cheats" naturally."

Ok, just read the book and his website again. I found no mention of a cheat day being mandatory, just what to do if you have a major slip. My IP stuff is the same as Cat's.

Also says don't worry about packets if you don't have them, instead have some non-fat yogurt and coffee/tea for breakfast, then lean meat and veggies and salad for lunch and dinner. This might be easier for those of us that are missing our breakfast on those mandatory phase 1 days.

Good morning everyone. Had an off weekend. One big cheat and lots of little ones. Today is a new beginning. I will lose at least 20 pounds by the time I'm 30. I have to get my head back where it was in June when I started.

Good morning all! Yesterday was my birthday so I had a wonder OP dinner with my family!! We also got some snow... For those of you on the east. Our snow would be nothing. But they make a huge deal about it here... I guess we are suppose to get around 3-6 in the next 36 hours... So we will see!! Hope everyone had a good weekend....

We also may need to start a new thread. I'm surprised they haven't shut us down yet!!
