I wanted to get your opinion on something since I know u are so knowledgable about I.P. first off some quick history on me. I started I.P sept 6 and as of today I have lost 85 pounds. My current weight is 181. Shhhh! ;0). Anyhow, when I first started I could not click with my coach. She was a jerk. I switched to a different place and all has been good. Today, my coach was ill so that old coach whom I can't stand was filling in. I remembered why I couldn't stand her as soon as she spoke!! Long story short, she told me something that is freaking me out. Basically, we were talking briefly about when I phase off of phase 1. She uses scare tactics but I agree that if you don't phase off correctly you can gain. I get that but in talking I asked a hypothetical question that I have been curious about. I asked, " say I sopped I.P today and just started eating healthy on my own, could I maintain?". By healthy I have this example. 2 eggs for breakfast with fruit, veggies and protein for lunch and dinner and a healthy snack at night......she said I would still gain back a lot of the weight EVEN if I ate ALL healthy foods. This FREAKED me out! She said all our body wants to do after we lose weight is to gain it all back and it fights like **** to do that. I was discouraged by this and wondered what your thoughts were on it. It has me pretty bummed
! I appreciate any feedback you could offer.
Thanks, Renee
