Exercise on Phase 1
Hi Everyone!
Can someone point me in the right direction for a plan for phase 1 with exercise? I saw a few posts on it but I think I need a more "ideal" plan. I work out 5 days a week, 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of weights. Some days I skip weights and just do cardio. To compensate, would I just add 1 packet after my workout? Thanks! |

I was told - no Cardio . If what you are doing makes you breathe heavy, panting, sweating etc. it is highly not recommended.

I have something in my files called the IP Athlete Protocol. It is from 2012, so some things have changed (like unlimited veggies), Swede (=Rutabaga) was select, Bell peppers were occasional, my beloved Chayote isn't on the list....
In looking for an updated version, I found this, which is very helpful. Lisa outlines all the differences. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/idea...-protocol.html Quote:

My coach had a heavy-duty athlete on the program, and she also added one plain baked potato for him.
I exercised a lot during P1, and she offered that option to me, but for me one or two extra packets worked fine and I didn't want to add the potato. |

Weights are good on this protocol as long as you are not pushing high levels, go for more 'strength and endurance' rather than 'power'. Another option for eating while exercising at slightly higher intensity is using Alternative Diabetic P1 or P2. This adds a small serving of fruit, a serving of low fat dairy, and a small serving of starch carb per day -not to be taken at the same meal. Works well for those that need to keep their blood sugars slightly higher and need more carbs to function effectively.
Something to check into with your coach. If they haven't heard of it, they need to get in contact with the head office of IP who can fill them in. If you are already used to exercise don't quit it entirely but you will need to scale back a bit and listen to your body carefully. Liana |
