  • FYI. The nutritional fact sheet is old. Let me figure out how to upload new one.
  • Most of y'all know I am all about helping others so I am going to post a few pdf files that I have collected about alternatives compared to IP and a few others. I hope this will be helpful to some of you...Lisa


  • I am doing the "alternate plan" (for health reasons) as well as using alternatives to IP foods - so I am the alternative alternative!

    I started on Friday, and am feeling less hungry today and more energetic. I ordered some proti-diet stuff yesterday - I'll let you know how it turns out!

    Thanks Wuv! I need to save these all in one place!
  • You are welcome, I tried to get it to the first page but was too late. But at least y'all can have it and know where it is ALL THE TIME to refer back too....SEE I HELP EVERYONE!!!!!
  • Quote: I just left my clinic to do it on my own as well. I use the labels as a guide and am getting everything from nashua in combo with EAS shakes and my IP Favs I stocked up on. Didn't really see benefit in coaching and I have friends who have done who can help with guidance- as well as this awesome site to finish phases.

    Can people post their favorite alternatives- I just ordered -

    HealthSmart Pancakes - Golden DeliCious*
    HealthSmart Pudding & Shake - Cheesecake *
    Proti-Thin Protein Bar - Caramel Delight *-LOVE LOVE
    Proti-Thin Snack - Chocolate Covered Soy Snacks
    ProtiDiet Oatmeal - Maple Brown Sugar
    ProtiDiet Omelette - Bacon & Cheese - not a fan so far
    ProtiDiet Pancakes - Blueberry pancakes
    ProtiDiet Pudding - Chocolate
    ProtiDiet Pudding - Vanilla


    All seem okay or did I miss something where I shouldn't use a product? Any other suggestions? I can't have nuts per allergy.

    Thanks for tips and recs!
    I really like the ProtiDiet Blueberry Pancakes
    Proti-Thin - Chocolate Soy Snack (exactly the same as IP/$12.95 box/7 servings
    Proti-Thin - Vanilla Peanut Bar (exactly the same as IP/$11.95 box/7 servings

    Ordered this weekend:
    Proti-Diet Pizza - $10.95 box (some mentioned that it was good)
    Honey Nut Soy Cereal - $11.95 box (reviews say that it tastes like Cheerios)

    My clinic charges $29.00 a box so if I can order some other products it is worth it. Still love the quality of the IP products so just using the others as supplemental at the moment.
  • ProtiThin Carmel Delight bar
    Protidiet Honey Nut Cereal (it's not quite honey nut cherios, but it's good!)
    Protidiet Hot Chocolate
    Protidiet Chicken Soup
    Weight Loss Systems Butterscotch Pudding (I REALLY like this one. I actually use it as a hot drink…mmmmm….)
    HealthSmart Peanut Butter Bar (tastes like reeses)
  • My staples consisted of:

    Proti-Diet apple cinnamon oatmeal, which I always dressed up with about 1/4 cup of diced zuchinni which had been microwaved with cinnamon, mutmeg and lemon juice to make "apple" chunks. Sometimes I added a spoonful of WF caramel syrup. What a treat!

    Proti-Diet Honey Nut cereal and Proti-Diet blueberry pancakes, very good IMO. I really liked the Proti-Diet tomato basil soup, too. (I chose mostly Proti-Diet because it seemed to be the most economical from Nashua).

    Thank you Lisa! Very sweet of you.
  • Snacks...
    Hello all! I'm on a constant hunt for snacks :-)
    And I saw this alternative thread and thought...hmmmm great idea! But I know nothing about the alternative stuff.

    So I see ProtDiet and Proti-Thin, what's the difference?

    These are the ones I'm interested in, please let me know if you have tried or when you do try
    ProtiDiet Dessert - Chocolate Fudge Cake (7/Box:
    Proti-Thin Protein Wafer Squares - Dark Chocolate (5/Box, 2 Squares/Serving)
    ProtiDiet Protein Bar - Supreme Chocolate (7/Box)

    I cannot speak on the difference between the two. I just looked at the spreadsheet that was made showing comparisons and made my choices from that sheet.

    I have tried the protein wafer squares- YUMMY! They are a restricted but are sooooo good!

    Those are my favourites too, well except for the tomato soup which I haven't tried.
    Waht a great idea to put the "apple" chunks in the cereal. I can't believe how good the zucchini can taste. I put Davinci's green Apple syrup in it.

    What I love about the proti-diet oatmeals is that they are not restricted so I can have oatmeal at breakfast and still have a bar later in the day.

  • Thanks for putting the nutritional sheets here WUV. Using them saves many questions.
  • I also really like the Detour bars (orange wrapper) and the EAS Carbadvantege RTD shakes. I've tried the chocolate fudge, dark chocolate, carmel mocha and vanilla...all are really good!

    These are definately two items I'll continue to use once I reach goal.
