Qwest bars, what is the formula to determine IP qualified?

Well, I have had worse things to eat, but I wouldn't get excited about it. It needed to be over rice...lol...there is a lot of sauce there and not a great deal of chicken. I would keep one on hand for emergencies (especially since my clinic charges the same for them as for all other packets) but I would much rather have my own protein..

Haha, I agree. It's good for an emergency but I'd rather have real chicken. It's decent over cauliflower rice!

FYI if you have a smartphone I suggest taking a pic of the list and saving it on your phone. That's what I do so I also have it with me.

That's very interesting information nolasmurf! By those calculations the cinnamon roll flavor is actually unrestricted (7g carbs).

Thanks but I can't take credit. I got it from a list that LamberJules shared. Check out her website LamberJules.com. She's got some great recipes and insight..

Actually, more than cinnamon roll (at least the Chocolate Peanut Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake, as well)

However be careful! They tend to stall me if I have more than 1/day. I know others with the same issue. YMMV

Thanks for the heads up. I prefer the IP drinks, so when I want to *chew* on something, a Quest bar hits the spot. My coach was crabby about it but I don't want to give them up.

On that note, I think today is a 4 packet day. For some reason I am dying of hunger. Probably because I just sat in a meeting where everyone was eating Pot Belly sandwiches and chips... hmm...

It's interesting now that I notice these things...some gas station shops now carry those big dill pickles, boiled eggs...sometimes even things like EAS drinks. IP friendly :)

Last night I had dinner at a nice steakhouse. They grilled some zucchini/squash for me and I had a yummy steak and a salad. I was a bit wistful of the red wine but happy to drink water/hot tea and sleep better without it.

Just did my two strength training exercises in the hotel room, had my coffee, and getting ready to drink my breakfast.

I am thrilled that this diet is doable "on the road".

Happy Thursday all.

GREAT JOB!!! :carrot: With a little planning, this program is definitely doable on the road. I travel A LOT for my job and always take my packets, shaker, and bars with me. My coworkers have just come to expect it from me :D and choose restaurants that are IP friendly.

Evening everyone.......congrats on today's weight loss winners!

Tomorrow is W2 WI. I have to WI a day earlier due to appt timings but I don't mind.

I want to thank everyone on this thread for all the info that you share everyday. I am having fun trying the recipes that everyone posted...I have a whole binder full of them now and I have emailed them to my sissy who just started OP yesterday. We both love to cook and bake so it feels good to create dishes with the food vice just open the pack and eat it. What's nice about the packets is that I won't always feel like cooking so on those days I CAN just open up a packet, mix it with water and bob's your uncle.

Man I hope I continue to stay focused on my goal..........:cloud9:
