Also I've been feeling really rundown in the afternoon and my coach suggested my electrolytes might be low so to drink a bottle of PowerAde Zero once a day. That's not on the list but I didn't ask her if that was IP approved or just her recommendation. |

I've been eating spinach as unlimited greens since the beginning, so yea, I'm not breaking rules anymore LOL. There's a LOT of things that are 0/0/0 not on the sheet. I'm not changing that in my life. Jeesh. Here, let's take away even more flavor and expect you to follow the diet. :dizzy: Thank you for the update! :D |

I imagine most people on here will stick to what's working for them. The changes are great to follow if you're just starting out but lots of people are using alternatives and lots of people have lost just fine under the old guidelines. I was happy to follow the sheet verbatum when I first started but I have a feel for Phase 1 now so think I can have a Quest Bar instead of a IP Chocolate Drink Mix and not ruin the program. |

Just came in from shoveling and agree with Anna...it is heavy, heavy wet snow!! Ugh. My husband is recovering from an Achilles tendon rupture (surgery 9 days ago) and couldn't help. I told him between the blizzard and this snow storm I deserve a beach vacation. Enoying my decaf and egg whites now while I warm up.
Congrats on all of the great losses this week!! :carrot: |

Bread was taunting me across the lunch table!
I went out to lunch today with my coworkers and I'm so proud that I stuck to the plan. Had incredible grilled scallops, salad and some spinach so I will count this as my main meal for the day and stay OP for dinner with a packet and veggies. The bread was calling my name across the table, "Come over little girl..." :) but I resisted. Especially when my coworkers were piling fresh shave parmesan and olive oil on their plates to soak into the bread! It's a little scary to eat out right now because I could easily slip up "just a little' Only into week 3 so still fighting the urge. Love all of the advice on this forum.

Thanks to leannekarella and Dontgiveup for the info about probiotics. This sounds like something I should keep in mind! By the way I love how everyone seems to enjoy their "new suits" and have such good attitudes! Congrats to all with good WIs.

I've been using probiotics for years. They are useful in building up the good bacteria in your body which can lead to becoming more "regular" and overall health benefits.
They are especially useful if you're taking any sort of antibiotic which essentially kills all bacteria, both good and bad! |

I have to use it to balance my electrolytes when I get that run-down feeling...dealing with the potassium/salt issue. My body is very picky about how much of everything it gets...sigh. |
:?: Question: Can I use canned crushed tomatoes for a vegetable? I think the limit for tomatoes is once per week. These have no added sugar, etc. I would like to add a bit of a tomato "sauce" to my ground beef for a chili effect. If so, what quantity? Thanks.

I had a few recipes that I used canned crushed tomato. 1/4 cup of crushed tomato is about equivalent to 1 cup chopped tomato. |
