Has anyone found that their skin has gotten really dry on this diet? I'm going on week 3 and my lips, hands, and the inside of my nose is super dry. I know it's a bad winter but I usually don't get like this. My diet used to be really high in fat before IP so I was thinking that had something to do with it.
Mine was for a week or so, but it's not so bad now. My coach said I was probably detoxing.

You got great advice about water, oil, and omega 3s. And be sure you're ADDING your oil to your food, rather than just cooking with it.

By the way, I LOVE this forum...although new here, I researched and read (and read and read some more) about the diet before starting, and the info and encouragement found here can not be beat. Thank you!!
You got great advice from busy moms. I'm here to tell you it DOES work and can be done long term.
I use an audio version of the book The Beck Diet Solution, which helps me with the negative self-talk and doubt.

What did they keep the $50 for?
If they stole it from you , report them to the BBB and your Attorney General of your state (or let them know you are going to do that and see what they do)

Okay. Time for me to talk you down a little.
One WI is one data point. You were down 3.2 lbs! What is the problem with that???
Now, your doc saying you lost mostly lean "muscle". SMH. Those scan scales weigh lean MASS. This is everything in our bodies that isn't fat, including skin, water, blood vessles, bones, muscle, connective tissues, etc.
You get the picture. Just being having lower hydration can throw the measurement off.
Next...dangerously close to being out of ketosis? How was THAT measured? I'm calling BS. If he based it on the body scan, those can be so off that I don't trust them.
YOU LOST 3.2 lbs!!!!
These doggone coaches don't know what they say & do to people.
I'm new here and trying to figure it all out. I've been on I.P. since 01/20/14. Today's weigh-in results: Total loss, so far: 44lbs. and 28in. Finally. Something that works for me. Happy Day!

She claims she kept the $50 because she is a doctor and "her time with me kept her from seeing other patients and that is time she cannot get back." I tried speaking with her and she walked away while I was mid sentence and did not come back. I was disgusted.

End of my "kind of" 4 day weekend. Friday I took as a vacation day. Today was my normal Monday off (I work 9 hours the rest of the pay period) BUT, because we are so busy that I worked from home about 3.5 hours. Nice thing about working from home - no interruptions and no drama.

Amber, my "muscle mass" was down this week as well. I take that with a grain of salt, as others have mentioned the BF scale is not very accurate. I know I am in ketosis because I check with ketone strips and I can definitely tell from my breath. I wouldn't sweat it, you are losing and that is all that matters.

BS!!! I would let them know you will be reporting them to BBB and state attorney general along with IP corporate!
Her time was worth $0.00 as she had no current nor correct IP information for you. She gave you nothing! She was fraudulent in her representation as an IP clinic/coach. The disorganization of the office along with the false and outdated information you were given was a waste of YOUR TIME and for that, you should bill her $100 ($50 refund and $50 for your time spent!!)

THat's why my emotions were mixed, I was down 3.2 lbs which was excellent but the being on the verge of being out of ketosis worried me the most.... I have been 100% perfect at staying OP how could I be out of or close to out of ketosis!?!?!
