I think its taken me this long (10 days) to really kick into Ketosis. Feeling so much better. Just taking my days one meal a a time and so far, so good.
I've done Medifast before and I thought the food was just horrible, but so far, I"m liking the IP products and the alternative products that I've had.
B - Vanilla RMD with 4oz of coffee
L - cucumber salad, sautéed mushrooms & peppers
D - cod (in miso ginger broth) with roasted broccoli and mushrooms

I am weighing in tomorrow (WI #6) which is a day early for me (all others were Saturday). I hope that loss of a day doesn't derail me!

Just weighed in (day 6) and was disappointed with my 1.6 loss. My average is 4.3 so I am switching thinks up and shifting to drinks rather than the RMDs and tasty bars.
Has anyone had success switching to drinks?

You may want to read through the daily threads when others have mentioned "disappointment" in losses. 1.6lbs is FANTASTIC and right where you should be. You are not going to see consistent 4lb losses every week, weight loss is NOT a steady downward slope. There are big weeks and small weeks. There are weeks of no loss (but probably inches lost). Make sure you are setting realistic expectations for yourself.
Cutting out restricteds has sometimes caused a STALL in weight. They are included in the program for a reason. Most who try to "game" the diet for higher losses end up realizing that the BEST way to lose on IP is to follow the program as it is written. Just stick with it, you're doing great

L: Mixed greens salad (AGAIN, ugh), IP Raspberry Jelly
D: Ground turkey burgers, roasted cauliflower and broccoli
S: IP Cookie Dough bar
Hmm123 - When I first started there were a few days where I didn't have a restricted and my coach was very clear to me that we NEED that one restricted each day. She had a good medical reasoning which I won't go into, but essentially our bodies work very hard on this diet and they need this restricted item in order to not damage the liver function. So, I would stick with it, as I said in the last thread - 1.6 is a really good loss!!
