Hey! Try the PB2 powdered peanut butter... GOOD!!!! You can get it on Amazon or Netrition :)

I can't eat PB2 as peanut butter on toast but I use it all the time on my Phase 3 breakfast in Greek yogurt with microwaved apple & cinnemon.

PB2 is actually not approved for Phase 1 - but I know many people who use it starting in Phase 3!

Here's the wording for the bark recipe that I referenced. Hope you found it yourself before now. Sorry I didnn't see your question sooner.

Thanks! I think the Chocolate Bark recipe came from Wuv.
IP chocolate pudding (or any pudding of your choice)
(the next 2 ingredients are not needed if you are not doing the choc pudding)
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1tbsp instant coffee (I swapped this for a sprinkle of cinnamon)

2 tsp splenda or stevia
8 oz of water (depending on consistency, could be less)

Shake, pour in aluminum pie plates or place on parchment paper on cookie sheet.
Freeze (30-45min)
Take out of freezer, break chocolate into pieces
Place in container, keep in freezer.

You will probably get your order sooner than that. I placed an order yesterday and rec'd notification today that it will be delivered Saturday. That's 3 days total.

Copied this from the Proti Diet thread!!!!

IP Omega Alternative
 

I picked up a MegaRed Krill Oil as a replacement for the IP Omega supplement. Having a hard time reading the supplement info on the plain protein website. The MegaRed contains 300 mg krill oil and I think I should take 4 of these per day to equal the IP supplement. Does this sound right?

Thanks for your help!

Bumping for some of the new folks

Besides Aspartame ...
 

are there any other ingredients we should try to avoid? I can't remember and I'm doing some product comparisons tonight. :dizzy:

Oh, and are there any other names it would be listed as?

Hi Guys. I am looking into the HealthSmart Protein Chips in Ranch flavor. Does anyone see a reason why they can't be a restricted snack? I know there are some starches in the ingredients. Is that a no go? https://www.nashuanutrition.com/stor...nch-1-bag.html
Thanks!

I've looked into these before - the only reason I have avoided them is the low protein content. Compatible products should have at least 12-15g protein in them, the chips only have 10. The ingredients are not as big an issue because even some IP products have starch in them (by using prepackaged foods the amounts of those ingredients are highly controlled).

Okay thanks. I've been craving an easy crunch. Something that I can munch on throughout the afternoon at work. Any suggestions?

I've used the HealthSmart protein puffs (cheddar), and the Dill Pickle and BBQ krinkles are fine too,

I just ordered the Unjury Protein'd Cheese sauce. Appears to be phase 1 compliant and the reviews look good. Will report back after I've had it. 1 scoop makes 1/4 c cheese sauce. I've been finding more sites which cater to bariatric patients needs and they have products similar to what we need. I'm not a bariatric patient but find reading some of the info on bariatric focused websites insightful.

Thank you, Purrfect, for finding this and posting it.

I saw that too - it is definitely compliant with Phase 1, the only thing I would say is that even though the fat and carb content make it technically unrestricted, the calorie count is a little higher than most unrestricteds - this would be a "see how you react" situation - if using it unrestricted works and doesn't affect your losses, great. But for those closer to goal or with less to lose, the extra calories might actually slow things down, so keep an eye on yourself.
