Buying IP on ebay? Anyone tried this? I have quite a drive to get to my coach so I was tempted to buy some on ebay today. Is it legit?

GREAT NEW: Just weighed in for Week 5 and lost 4lbs!
Feeling Great: pays to stay OP.

I bought a box of them because I'd read about people eating them on here, but now I think it doesn't meet the requirements...has 25g of carbs, 3 g of fiber, 8 g of sugar, 70 fat cals, 30 g of protein.

Cals are too high and whoa, so are carbs. Not right for IP.
You could have half as a restricted, since you bought them. A whole one would be too much, based on the charts available in the alt threads.

Sorry that I can't answer this, but hopefully someone else has more insight.



Oh, most definitely! I ate basically four cooked veggies (broccoli, zucchini, cabbage & green beans) before starting IP. I would also eat salad/ raw stuff. Well, I got so SICK of broccoli and zucchini in my first month of IP. I still can't eat zucchini LOL. The good news? I have tried and LOVED a bunch of different veggies that I was "scared of" before!



Now I truly LOVE mashed rutabaga and roasted turnips. I enjoy roasted cauliflower and sauteed brussels sprouts, too. Even jicama has become a delight in our house. Try some new things! You never know what you will grow to love! (I may never eat a mashed potato again...rutabaga might be here to stay!)

I tried mashed rutabaga for the first time on Thanksgiving. I was so delicious. I've never even seen rutaba before and don't know how to make it but, I loved it.

Hello all, congrats on the losses!!

Hubby took me xmas shopping tonight for clothes! He wanted to buy me a few outfits! I fit into size 4's............OMG I was in shock. I haven't been that size since junior high. Its funny that I was this weight in high school but wore a larger size. IP reshapes and melts fat away.

Thank you Lisa. That's a great suggestion about eating half so they aren't wasted!
