Hey Gents, it's been a while! I started the program a little over 4 weeks and I just wanted to quickly share my short journey so far. It may or may not help some newbies like myself.
Week 1, lost 13 lbs. At first I felt like I wasn't in ketosis, felt bummed, was very vocal of it but I stayed OP no matter and it paid off. 10.8 lbs of fat and the balance of water and lean muscle. Week 2, lost only 3.3 lbs. Again, I had something to complain about but stuck through it. I drink over 1 gallon of water a day. Half before lunch, half after lunch and plenty with breakfast and dinner/vitamins. Week 3, lost 5.5 lbs. Was pretty happy in week 3. I travel a bit for work but I've been able to find something to eat with little effort. Week 4, lost 3 lbs, but 4 lbs of fat and gained a muscle of lean muscle. All in all I've lost 24 lbs of which almost 21 lbs has been fat according to the InBody scale at my center. I've lost a total of 11.5 inches as well and feel pretty good. I could sleep better but that could be anything. I do have a cup of coffee each day. I don't bother with anything restricted, at ALL. Shakes, salads, protein, veggies, and lots of water. Not many around the office have commented on my weight loss, not sure why that is...I think I can see it a bit in my face neck and torso. The only thing that frustrates me right now the varying information I find online and then what my coach has to offer. They want me to throw in some exercise but from what I've read, IP is not meant to used along side working out. I'm talking about some fast paced walking, yoga, etc and not high intensity cardio or weights. Either way, I don't think there is an answer that really makes sense to me. I've been told to add a 5th packet should I work out. That's a cookie cutter answer that bothers me. a 5'1 female who does 45 minutes of yoga and a 5'9 225 lb male doing 45 minutes of yoga is not the same... You've supported me along the way and I thank you for that! I have about 50 more lbs to go. Fingers crossed that it flies by. |

What's up guys. Day three of my re start here, got a little hungry and remembered my signature line! "Feeling short term hunger pangs on a daily basis is NORMAL." I had the long forgotten headache all day Monday and Tuesday, I remember waking up this morning and thinking cool it's gone. I hope you all have an awesome day and stay IP. It works if you work it.
Oh forgot to mention an NSV from last night. :o "Baked Cookies" last night, twice! It was AWESOME. :devil: It was a chore before IP and loosing so much weight. |
This is going to sound weird. Sometimes I take my lunch, other times I get a salad in the company cafeteria. It all depends how busy my wife and I are, and of course the Chicago Blackhawks schedule.
On Monday I used the company cafeteria. The salad parts you could tell were left over from Friday, not crisp, not much taste. On Tuesday I couldn’t bring myself to go down to the cafeteria. So I drove to a restaurant, order a large meat lovers pizza with a 64oz coke and devoured the entire meal and drink in 5 minutes. That’s not what happen, I actually drove to a supermarket that has a very fresh salad bar and had a fantastic veggie lunch! The point I am making as I drove back to work, “I just drove 7 miles round trip for a salad with no meat and loved it, who is this person?” |

I always save my IP raspberry bar and consume it between the 2nd and 3rd period! Also drink a ton of seltzer water during the game. |
