Day 3 here - so far so good! Just made a cauliflower tortilla with a little egg white - topped off with bell pepper, onion, fresh basil, fresh cilantro and salt & pepper. Haven't felt deprived yet and loving the simplicity. I had the maple oatmeal for lunch today with a plate of cucumbers. I'm in the honeymoon phase but feel this is a wonderful straightforward plan. Love reading all the recipes - the ideas in my head are endless! Thanks to all for sharing!
I have been on the plan for 12 weeks now and am still in love with it. I find myself really thinking about how this will become/is becoming my new life long way of nutrition.

Well..at least if you haven't had super outstanding losses at least you know why right?! always gotta find that silver lining
Lj14 -- we are on the same track! This is day 3 for me, we are almost exactly the same stats! Here's wishing us both success on this journey! If you want a "buddy" to keep in contact via PM, once we are allowed the PM feature, I would be willing to hook up!
Lisa, I made the zucchini muffins again tonight and I followed your earlier suggestions. And.....GREAT!!!! So fun and good!!! Glad I asked the question. Thanks again Lisa.
Weather cooperated and we were able to get out on the boat today! Came home and made tacos (homemade taco seasoning recipe I found online) in lettuce wraps. DH and son really liked them, as did I! This will definitely be a repeat meal. Anxious to WI tomorrow. This week I feel like losses have slowed a bit, but not concerned, just curious. I definitely feel smaller and more people are commenting now. Feels good!
Hi there have just started my ideal protein a week ago and am loving it so far. I have already lost 10.5 lbs. I do have a couple of questions.....
I was a little concerned with the cost of ideal so a friend of mine told me to buy Lindora, I did and am now kind of freaking. I have read some people say it basically is the same just watch carbs and other ingred and then other posts have said lindora has a lot more hidden ingredients? Any truth to that????
My next question is Mio is my new best friend but I saw some people say limit it to 2 times a day....any feelings on that..
Thanks everyone and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through your post you are all inspirations.
People's experience with Mio seems to vary. Some people say they are fine with it even more than 2 times a day. Others (like me) notice that when using it, weight loss seems to slow.
I don't think Mio is technically on programme but general feeling seems to be that if it helps and is not hurting, then many people use it.
Because of my limitations with Mio, I drink sparkling mineral water (San Pellegrino and Gerolsteiner are my two favs!) To this I add some stevia and some True Lemon. To do the mixing, I pour a bit of the water into a measuring cup and add the stevia and lemon there. I mix, let it fizz up and then slowly add back to the bottle. Adding it in too fast will cause the bottle to overflow because of the fast fizzing.
Here are some of the Alternative Threads. You'll have to scroll through to see if there is something about Lindora. (I can never get the search feature to work very well.)
