Are you wanting to do IP on their Alternative Plan? It's generally recommended for those with diabetes. On Phase 1 of IP's regular protocol you aren't allowed the toast at breakfast (no bread or similiar items).... or the berries at lunch (no fruit).... or the dairy at supper (no dairy).
Here's an outline I found re the Alternative Plan, which is discussed at this link:
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/idea...-1-plan-2.html
Alternative Plan - Phase 1 - To Be Followed Until 90% Of Your Wieght Goal Is Achieved
Breakfast
1 IP packet
plus one group choice ( will list groups below)
plus coffee/tea with 1 oz skim milk
sweetener allowed
lunch
1 IP packet
plus 1 group choice
plus
2 cups select veggies and unlimited lettuce
dinner
7 oz fish or 5 oz meat from select choice
plus 1 group choice
plus 2 cups select veggies
snack
1 IP packet
Compulsory
64 oz water
1-2 teaspoon olive or grape seed oil
regular IP supplements
IMPORTANT: only one choice from each GROUP is permitted per day. ALL THREE GROUPS MUST be consumed per day.
GROUP 1
2 slices toast ( whole grain, pumpernickel, rye, multigrain,sourdough, stone ground whole wheat, oat bran, sprouted grain)

fruit is allowed, but optional, and must not be replaced with another food group.

If you go to this thread it's discussing the Phases of IP. Scroll down and you'll find a post that gives links to the Phase Protocol sheets, and also another post that gives the same Alternative Protocol details I just copied for you above.
