Since you're already taking a multi and an omega 3, you just need magnesium and potassium and you're good-to-go. It doesn't need to perfectly match IP. Just grab supplements for each. My mag is a cal/mag/zinc & my potassium is just potassium cit.

You'll really need the potassium so you don't get leg cramps. And most of us are mag deficient (and it helps with the "going")

Omega 3 alone is superior to Omega 3-6-9. We get enough of the 6-9 in the American diet. It is the Omega 3 we're lacking.

Hi again. It seems the search function is not working for me. Does anyone have a link to a good thread on Phase 3 foods and possibly P4 foods? My coach DOES want me to phase off for my vacation in 6 weeks. She wants to take me through 3 & 4 in about 10 days and then back to P1 when I get back. Thought I'd start doing a little research on it (especially since I did NOT phase off correctly my first time on IP). Thanks!

Congrats! What a great feeling!

I still have to take mine, as my high chol is hereditary. Oh, well.

I hope all is well with everyone. I've been maintaining since just before Christmas and feel pretty good. IP willpower for everyone!!

This is a great article! Thanks!

Can we have that on PI? I cant remember if we can or cannot (low fat-low sodium no extra sugars from what I read on the package)

Thanks, Lisa. Sometimes the obvious is, well, too obvious :-)

BTW, I just made a double batch of the lemon pudding muffins just now. They were very good!!!! So excited and happy to have something new!!

Had my WI today, down .8. Typical for me - I had a bigger week loss wise last week-3.4). This is my usual pattern.

Onward I go. It will come off eventually. I really would like to be at goal by my birthday (June 26).

I know how you feel. Sometimes I put a lot of thought into a post and get zero response. Don't take it personally...at least I try not to.
