Hi I started Ideal Protein diet on Monday May 6, I feel I am doing well so far.
I want to lose 107 pounds and so far I have lost 5. Just starting to crave sweets, I am trying to stay strong. So far my only side effects have been a few dizzy spells and massive break outs on my face.

Hi Saphi


Welcome and congrats on a great first week.
I am somewhat new as well, this is my 4th week and am super happy with results.
This forum is great help.
I would recommend you read a post 'Ketosis' http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/subs...ption&t=256818 and go from there.

Cravings will go away very very soon. For now, I would use a bar or a chocolate soy puffs for example as a snack if you have cravings.


Good luck

I'm starting IP tomorrow. I'm nervous about having the will power! But I'm also determined to get healthier.

This forum really helped me out.
It's bookmarked on my iPad and I Check it sometimes even few times a day.

Just remember you are going through adjustment. You can do it, and the journey is so worth the results.

Hi, Going to start on IP, trying this on my own. I've attended two seminars on this program at my Dr.'s office. Just too expensive through them. Please fill me in on where to buy comparable products. I have been reading some of the posts and have a good idea where to get what I need.
Thanks!

There are several alternative threads
Read through this one to get started
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/idea...s-vol-1-a.html

I know it is long but it is packed with info. All of us who have been here for a while have spent hours reading/researching to learn. It definitely takes extra time to do it on your own. You're paying someone else to do that for you when you use a coach.

Welcome to all of you newbies!! This is a great place to be! The program is great and it works if you stick to it. You'll find lots of support and answers to questions here!

You've made the decision and you've begun!!

Last year at this time I was wishing and hoping and praying for some miracle that would allow me to change my body. I wished so hard that something would appear and I could flip a switch and have a smaller, healthier body.

Then I found out about IP, made the decision, and began on June 14. I reached my goal in mid-March.

Now, at this end of the journey, it seems like it was magic. It really was a bit of work, some delicious foods, and a great learning experience. But it still feels like magic!

You can do it too!!
