I think coaches draw their own conclusions about certain aspects of IP instead of trusting the protocol as written. If you are in the "less carbs is better" mindset, you are going to assume that no restricteds is better than one. But that's not necessarily true, even from a physiological standpoint. Yes there are going to be a SMALL percentage of people who are very sensitive to carbs - and those people may benefit from no restricteds. But the vast majority of people will not fall into that category and will see no difference, or even possibly a stall in weight loss, from cutting out the restricted.
The new sheet I just received last week does NOT say these are free. Lettuce is the ONLY one that is free according to that sheet. Hope this helps

Oh, oh, oh, can we see the new sheet?
Also, being a Vegetarian, I stay away from restricteds, as our diets/proteins contain more carbs anyway, so I have to stay on the low side of carbs with everything else. Also, my weight is going away faster than other Vegetarians, so I've read, so I think not doing the restricteds is helping me with that.
When I was at the clinic the dietician told me that it was even better for me not to have a restricted, that I would lose faster I would say eat them, as IP is written. Another coach of mine told me that if I stalled, to add a restricted in...
Wuv, now i'm wondering if the lettuce is the only free thing, no free celery, no free cukes?

The program was written to have the restricted item daily so it should be done as written to get the best results. When they aren't having restricted they are having another unrestricted packet.
Wuv, look at your new pic. You are looking wonderful and the smile on your face says it all. Congratulations on your successful weight loss journey.
