You will do best to weigh and measure your natural protein - before cooking - and really to measure your other foods too -- it's easy to try to eyeball your servings and mess things up to the point of slowing your losses. All unnecessarily -- my scale lives out on the counter now, and my measuring cups are easily brought out to keep a grip on portions. It's important!!!
Ideal Protein works based on body chemistry -- if you eat too many carbs or too much protein, or skip the supplements or the salt, you will mess up the chemical environment that allows your pancreas to burn your stored fat for fuel. That's the key premise that creates your weight loss. If you feed your body readily available nutrients in the form of carbs or actual sugar, your body will work off those sources and you fat will just continue to hang their on your bones, weighing whatever it weighs and potentially growing to weigh more.
If you don't buy in to the portion control and selectivity of foods, IP will not work for you -- it's really quite simple once you get a rhythm going. Be diligent and your efforts will pay off in spades!!!
I'll add you to my MFP friends - I am oneuh2 there also!
