I can't drink milk but I can eat cheese bwahahaha!:devil: and plain yogourt since most of the lactose is already predigested by the enzymes in those foods.

Aha! I see now what you mean by "old" cheese. Aged. OK. Maybe I will give those a try once I get to maintenance.

Lisa: I found the Premier Protein shakes with 21 g protein in the can at Trader Joes. They are $1.99 each. Bought one each vanilla and chocolate.I've had the higher gram protein ones and I like them both. Also found the PP snack shakes w/100 cal & 18 g protein at Sam's (similar to Costco). 18 ct for $19.50. Sweet deal. I like the chocolate EAS Carb control but not a big fan of the vanilla.

Nice new pic Catlady!

I tried the Quest bars this week from GNC and now the are fantastic. I truly love the the white chocolate and raspberry!:dancer:

Thanks. That other picture was over 3 years old.

Be careful of that one. It is more than 30% fat.
I'd use it as a super restricted (only once weekly). Most IP restricteds are still under. 30% fat. Not all quest bars are equal.

Thanks I didn't see that on this one. All the others I bought were under 30 percent fat. I'll have to be more careful in the future.

ProtiDiet Bars on Sale at Nashua
 

Nashua has all ProtiDiet brand bars on sale for 10% off this week only. Code PDBAR10.

To be quite honest I've never food journaled on IP, EVER. Sounds like I will need to start though especially as I change phases, I really want to succeed and if journaling helps, I'm all for it.

Thanks Catlady for sharing the promo code. :) I too like your picture. :)

Alternative "table"
 

Has anyone put a chart or table that actually lists the IP products and the corresponding name of the alternative?

I journal everything. Food, daily thoughts, boring dear diary stuff. So I'm in the habit.

Thanks for the pic like. :D

I haven't seen anything like that. There are lots of similar products to IP, but exact matches, not really. I would suggest taking a semi-large chunk of time and reading through all the alternative threads. There are 4 now, and you will find lots of charts, sheets and info. I have read 4, 3, and half of 2 and found all sorts of interesting info. You can find the link to 3 in the first post of the daily chat every day. Then go to the first page of 3 and there are links back to 2 and 1.

Have any of you found an "alternative" protein product that has collagen added? (like the IP jello and wildberry drink) I'm not sure it actually made a difference when I was using IP products, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to continue getting it sometimes with alternatives.

There are several through Nashua. I don't have the info at my fingertips, however.

The other option is to buy some Great Lakes gelatin and add the collagen that way. I make a rhubarb jello with it. It's a sweet veggie jello treat,
