Hi fitforlifeinthenw: I am so conflicted about soy, since Asian women do so well and stay healthy with a diet fairly high in soy. Just my opinion, but I think a lot has to do with whether the soy is organic or GMO - almost all N American soy is GMO (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/margi...b_2039455.html) and I know in my case GMO organisms bother my autoimmune health issues. I pretty well have to choose organic or at least certified non-GMO foods.
Anyhow you already know about Low carbing and Keto (under 50g) and how it works to heal insulin resistance and the accompanying diseases.
Good to have you back on plan!

So I'm rebooting. Was in maintenance for about a year but it's starting to creep back on. Do you folks use IP products or alternative like from ProteinWise? I would rather go less expensive route.
Any help and guidance is appreciated.

Hi there -
Does anyone have some real food alternatives to one packet of IP, to include almost the exact same calories and macros (protein, carbs, fats, etc)? So far, I know of:

• One egg, plus 3 egg whites
• 4 oz of salmon
• 4 oz. of tuna

Thanks in advance!!

It's hard to find exact matches in 'real food' terms but it doesn't hurt to do real meats/fish besides eggs and tuna/salmon as long as they are low carb (which they are naturally) and high in protein. You won't go far wrong. Other choices are Explore Asian GF and non-GMO protein pastas made from legumes (they ARE low carb) and protein powders from whey or pea protein for shakes. Watch the sugar contents, of course.
Cheers,
Liana
