    He is adorable! Mckaren, huge congrats on the med news! What a relief that must feel like.
  • Quote: I am taking my normal multi-vitamin and a B12 and omega-3. Do you know where I can purchase the IP recommended supplements? I'll start searching the threads too..
    Since you're already taking a multi and an omega 3, you just need magnesium and potassium and you're good-to-go. It doesn't need to perfectly match IP. Just grab supplements for each. My mag is a cal/mag/zinc & my potassium is just potassium cit.

    You'll really need the potassium so you don't get leg cramps. And most of us are mag deficient (and it helps with the "going")

    Omega 3 alone is superior to Omega 3-6-9. We get enough of the 6-9 in the American diet. It is the Omega 3 we're lacking.
  • Hi again. It seems the search function is not working for me. Does anyone have a link to a good thread on Phase 3 foods and possibly P4 foods? My coach DOES want me to phase off for my vacation in 6 weeks. She wants to take me through 3 & 4 in about 10 days and then back to P1 when I get back. Thought I'd start doing a little research on it (especially since I did NOT phase off correctly my first time on IP). Thanks!

    Congrats! What a great feeling!

    I still have to take mine, as my high chol is hereditary. Oh, well.
  • Quote: Self-control is a limited resources. This post at Brain Pickings is particularly apt for us, I would say. http://www.brainpickings.org/index.p...-self-control/ the good thing is that once we know about a situation we can develop strategies to cope.

    I hope all is well with everyone. I've been maintaining since just before Christmas and feel pretty good. IP willpower for everyone!!
    This is a great article! Thanks!

    I know how you feel. Sometimes I put a lot of thought into a post and get zero response. Don't take it personally...at least I try not to.
