I have a huge list of unlimited RAW veggies:
Arugula, Bibb lettuce, Boston lettuce, celery, chicory lettuce, cucumber, endives, escarole lettuce, frisee lettuce, green and red leaf lettuce, iceberg lettuce, mushrooms, radicchio, radish, romaine lettuce, spinach and watercress lettuce.

Maybe Canadain IP clinics are different. My paper is updated as of 06/2014

Liz is reading from an old sheet - the same one I had when I did IP the first time. Cucumbers, mushrooms, celery, etc (those listed in post above) ARE unlimited according to the latest sheets, 6/2014.

I have trouble eating 4 cups of veggies!
I'm going to try spinach blended in my shake. Has anyone had good combinations in doing this?

I do this often. Usually mix the spinach in water first until smooth. Then I add vanilla shake mix and some SF syrup (caramel or vanilla) with ice. You can't get rid of the green color, but you can't taste it.

MAke sure you check the dates on the posts you are responding to....LizRR's post is quite old, and at that time the unlimited veggies list was MUCH smaller :) She completed her IP journey back in 2012/2013 :)

I am just a few days in and was looking at the "buyproteinfood.com" website and wanted to confirm the that p20 foods are the IP equivalents? Not sure what we can purchase from there? The prices were cheaper and the variety much more appealing?

Anyone??

Hi, I have to tell you that this is the most confusing topic of all. I have asked my coach and she says that celery, cucumber, mushroom, radish are all "unlimited" if eaten raw. My Phase 1 sheet does mention these items as "unlimited raw vegetables/lettuce". She also said if cooked, then they need to be counted as "select vegetables".... and that's why they are also listed as "select vegetables (2 cups per meal) measure before cooking". Finally, she added that if weight loss progresses well, then there is no problem at all, but that if weight loss slows down to about 1lb per week, then we need to rethink the "unlimited" cucumber, radishes etc.

Yep. 'Unlimited' really doesn't mean unlimited of course, 5 or six extra cups of veggies will make a difference, lol. Most people don't eat that much though. I wouldn't worry about the 1 lb thing. As long as you are losing pounds OR inches you are on track. Especially if you don't have much to lose, since it will significantly slow the closer to goal that you get. Cooked counts in your 4 cups but raw is unlimited.

Whew! I'm doing a reboot and was worried for a second! I didn't even look up the rules again when I started and I've been having some of those freebies to keep me going the first days! Glad they are still free for a second I thought I'd have to start again tomorrow.

When I was on Phase 1, I lost about 2.8 pounds/week, average. I almost always had a cup of raw spinach in my shake, plus a cup of raw cucumbers every day, in addition to my 4 cups of cooked veggies. Just make sure you weight or measure everything, and track it, so you and your coach can make wise changes if necessary. (And even 1 pound a week is good, especially toward the end of Phase 1.)

Thanks for this, I have been wondering the same thing about adding some greens to my shakes. I miss my green smoothies!

You can definitely add any of the unlimited veggies to shakes. It just depends on what flavors you like. Some people add kale, but it's too bitter for my taste. I found the spinach blends in nicely and is undetectable - except for the bright green color, of course. :D
