Newbie requiring IP options for soy and sucralose/splenda restrictions
Hello everyone!
I am new here and am inspired by the posts I have read :carrot:. I will be starting IP this week (1st meeting is tomorrow) but have strict no-soy, no sucralose/splenda requirements. Will I still have many options on the IP program? I found threads that addressed no-soy diets but none that also took into consideration the sucralose. Please help. I really want to do this...I just need advice and direction. I know I'll get more info tomorrow during my meeting, but I wanted to go in already having information and tips. Thanks in advance! |
here is a thread that has a list of the soy-free products from IP...i don't know about sucralose free but this should help narrow the list :)

Thank you soooo much for your reply...and more importantly for your support!

With no soy and no sucralose ip foods would be very limited....
There are whey powders available elsewhere that are unsweetened (not too tasty) or sweetened with stevia. |
Welcome
Go to the Sticky thread here and start at about the 5th post. You'll find nutritional info pdfs for almost all of the IP products. It should help you narrow down the sucralose info. Just start your own list or share it back so others can also benefit |

I am having a difficult time avoiding both. My choices were very limited. I have tried some of the "very little soy" products, the ones with soybean oil or soy lecithin but no isolated soy proteins. Basically, these are the packets that I have done week after week: Plain omelet Herb and cheese omelet Broccoli and cheese soup Potato puree BBQ ridges White cheddar ridges Salt & vinegar ridges I stayed away from all other products from the first month. I recently spoke with a regional manager for IP products that offered some samples of the soy and sucralose packets to try. He also supplied (through the clinic) and referenced some IP literature about the quality of soy and the minimal amounts of sucralose in the products. I did try some packets but didn't feel great afterwards...I got slight headaches and couple of times had indigestion or stomachaches. Both were mild but still realize that my body is saying a big, "No, thank you." I guess I could do it once in a while for variety but not daily. So the packets listed above have been my staples. It's not to difficult to follow with such limited selections...I end up just changing things up with veggies for variety. |

Try here (I googled Ideal Protein Nutritional Labels) |

I wish Raspberry gelatin was sucralose-free, because I love it! :) Or at least have 1 sweet thing without sucralose and soy protein, it would work fine for me with just one sweet thing and broccoli-cheese soup, and an occasional white cheddar ridges... Thanks! |
There are alternatives sweetened with stevia or ace-k

Oh, yes, chicken noodle is on my list of approved packets. When I want something sweet, which amazingly hasn't been too often on IP, I sweeten up some rhubarb or make Lizrr's sweet fauxtato pie. So I get my sweet tooth fix more through veggies than the packets.
I use Sweet Leaf stevia. Truvia is not the best choice because it is not just pure stevia. It has a sugar alcohol (erythritol) with stevia and has 3 carbs per packet. |
Did anyone find the happy medium on the sucralose-free/soy-free IP plan? I am trying and my coach has been incredibly supportive, but the soy is really the option killer...

https://mindstar.com/scratch/IP_Ingredients.xls I don't know of a chart that lists which have sucralose, you may have to read the ingredients individually. Several posters have soy sensitivities (I have to be careful and limit them somewhat) and I'm sure some will chime in with good advice. You might also check out the "alternatives" thread. Maybe a mix of IP and alternatives would give you a good variety. Good luck! |
