IP diet and honey

  • Hi,

    I am following a form of the IP diet. You can eat limited other food and only need to packets a day. It says to have 1 teaspoon of honey 15 mins before a meal. They say it will cut your hunger. Has anyone heard of this? Make sense to anyone? I am down close to 30 lbs at my 3rd WI without the honey.
  • I wouldnt recommend it. The honey can throw you out of ketosis which is one of the things which make IP work so well.

    To cut your hunger, drink a cup of hot herbal tea (try peppermint, Celestrial Seasonings Bengal Spice, Yogi Tea "Chocolate" or the myriad of other interesting flavors) with a little sweetener like Splenda or Truvia.

    The heat from the drink will help a lot.

    Drinking water before a meal and after you finish your portion will also help.

    If you have gone this long without the honey, you dont need it.
