what IP foods are the best? Need advice ASAP

  • I am ordering a 7 week supply on eBay -- still need to pay but got an email back to let me know I could put in a request to trade a few of my items/customize the order. I am going to switch out the cappuccinos (don't drink or ingest coffee of any kind) and the choc pudding (heard it is really GROSS.) Here is what I am getting now and please tell me the BEST things to switch to that I am not already getting:

    14 choco soy puffs
    14 choco drink
    14 omelet cheese fine herbs
    14 maple oatmeal
    7 blueberry cran pomegranate drinks
    7 cappuccino
    7 chicken soup
    7 mushroom soup
    7 peach mango
    7 pb
    7 milk choc bars
    7 pudding choc powder
    7 pudding strawberry powder
    7 hearty stew
    7 chili
    7 choc pancake muffin mix

    Thanks in advance.

    What I see right off the bat is that there are a LOT of restricted items on that list - restricted items you should be only having 1 a day and many coaches don't advise having them until the third week of the program. So for a 7 week supply, 49 items max should be restricted. I went through and bolded all of the items that are restricted items. If you like chocolate milk, I'd suggest getting more of the chocolate shake - it's great! The vanilla pudding mix is also excellent as a shake. Any of the shakes are permissible and are not restricted.
  • The strawberry pudding is great as a shake also. Just add more water until it's the consistency you want.

    I could never get the pancakes to work.. so I'd swap that one out. There are a lot of restricted on the list.. I would get some Vanilla pudding, Rasberry Jelly, Wildberry Yogurt, orange drink, butterscotch pudding, and banana pudding are all great. As for the bars I like the vanilla peanut, caramel nut, and cran-granata bars. I'm not sure what the PB and milk choc bars are?? The oatmeal is really good as are the chocolate soy puffs....
  • You don't have any crepes listed. They are also a restricted item but one of the most versatile. You can make them as pancakes, use them as a tortilla shell for sandwich rolls, make them into crackers, etc. I would swap out the choc. pancake mix for them. Also, get more pudding mixes and maybe a raspberry gelatin.
  • My favorites are:

    Choc Drink
    Strawberry Pudding
    Sour Cream an Onion puffs
    Choc puffs
    Bananna Choc bar

  • I liked the chocolate pancake mix made as muffins
    Wildberry yogurt is my favorite drink
    Regular soy puffs are great in a salad for some crunch
    BBQ ridges are a great treat to take to the movies to replace the movie popcorn!
    I lost 60 lbs with IP, maintaining now. The above packets are the ones I still like to keep on hand!

    I agree with the other members--you have too many restricted choices. See if you can get:
    crispy cereal (mix in a little cinnamon with it)
    All puddings are good...add pumpkin spice mix to butterscotch pudding, layer choc. pudding & vanilla pudding for a parfaitt
    Juices-pink lemonade is like the real stuff
    Soups-taste like Campbell's soup. Add required veggies to soups...Makes a hearty lunch when added to salad.

    Good luck and welcome aboard.
