Just google Miracle Noodles, you can order them from amazon or directly from the company. If you are in week one you usually have 4 IP's a day and after the first week it goes to 3, if you exercise, you have 1/2 ip before and the other 1/2 after. |
yes i bought the miracle noodles from amazon.com

Has anyone had bad side effects? I just started IP on Sunday 3/4, I have been super sick. I can't keep anything down, my head hurts and I am nausous.

It's carb withdrawal. It will pass. Make sure to get in your salt and oil!

Can someone explain to me the idea of "cheat days" during maintenance?

My doctor had me start with 4 IP packets a day because of my weight (I started out at 249 pounds). She said anyone over 230 pounds needed the calories. This may be why your coach is starting you out with 4. |
Hi Samba, The best place to answer this is on the Phase 4 sheet. It's under the "sticky" tabs...There's a wealth of information there...

Phase 1: In Ketosis
3 packets IP, 4 cups vegees, meat/poultry/fish protein every dinner. I always did 3 packets, but some folks have used 4 when they are exercising alot. Only 1 restricted packet/day; some vegees are limited to 2/wk like tomatoes. Phase 2: In Ketosis but weaning off of IP: 2 packets IP breakfast/snack, meat/poultry/fish & vegees at lunch and dinner Phase 3: Get out of Ketosis by introducing more carbs: 1 packet IP (snack), breakfast is key - low glycemic carbs, protein meat/poultry/fish lunch and dinner. Vegees are still from the 'allowed' list, i.e., low glycemic index, but you can start having some dairy like yogurt. Phase 4: Out of Ketosis in maintenance: no IP packs on a daily basis, but encouraged to have a 'treat' day once a week, then go on Phase 1 the day afterwards to reset pancreas. Watch what carbs you eat, include a mix of carb and protein in every meal, etc. More variety in vegees allowed, you just try to watch how much and how often. You take the supplements throughout. 1/2 tsp salt, lots of water, 2 tsp oil. Lettuce is unlimited. The amount of animal protein allowed was 5 oz when I started and just increased to 8 oz. There are some minor differences in what clinics tell people, but I think this summarizes it... |
Cheat days are when you can eat anything you want for that day, but you should only have one a week and need to follow it with a day of eating like phase 1 with only proteins and vegetables. You don't need to use the IP packets if you don't want to, just replace them with other proteins like eggs and meat.
