D: Something from Applebee's on plan (have 1 hour between work and a meeting to grab dinner)
S: IP Strawberry wafer and herbal tea
Lunch:
"Pasta Salad" (Rotini and cucumbers with Walden Farms Italian dressing)

"Salted Caramel Pudding" (Dark Chocolate Pudding with 1 tablespoon Walden Farms Caramel syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt)
Dinner:
Asparagus omelet
ETA: Swapped my "Salted Caramel Pudding" for Weight Loss Systems Creamy Cheesecake Pudding that just arrived in the mail. Sooooo good. It wasn't in the database for myfitnesspal, but it is now!!!
I wanted to ask your opinion on something. I noticed that a few IP users are actually using other brands products. It kind of sparked my interest as i wouldnt mind saving a few bucks. Do you think that i could swap out IP snacks to the Proti-thin snacks? without having any adverse affect?
B-Choc drink with mint
L-Roasted Broccoli with garlic and rosemary, and an IP vanilla crispy square
D-Lemon thyme chicken with asparagus and a salad
S-Choc drink blended with cinnamon

Hi! Yes, tons of us use alternative products. Many Proti-Diet and Proti-Thin products are in line with IP's nutritional facts.
If you search, there are many previous threads on alternative products.
I probably use 95% IP products and 5% Alternatives. My favorites are Apple Pie Quest Bars, Proti-Thin Peanut Butter and Smooth Caramel Crisp Bars and Weight Loss Systems Creamy Cheesecake Pudding.

MANY of us use "alternative" products in place of the IP packets (I did 19 of my 29 weeks on off-brand products). If you search through the forum, you will find SEVERAL threads on alternative products that are compatible with Phase 1 - what they are, where to buy them, what nutritional info to look for. Good luck!
I had that yesterday, except I wrapped it in lettuce instead, wow, feels like cheating a little doesn't it?? I'm learning that I enjoy texture and identifying some triggers...this is a great diet!
