I am so excited to be starting phrase 3 today and I was wondering do we buy i.p foods still I go for my weigh in at 1 and I use pure protein bar and shakes...so now we water regular food no packets how many snacks do you use still as I don't know if I should be buying good today at my meeting.......

Congrats! I stopped buying IP foods after P1 due to cost. I sure do miss them thought b/c the alternatives are not as good (IMO). When I hit P4 I went to one weigh in and that's it. I'm on my own now and use this site for support/information.

I, too, went to alternatives after Phase II, and still dropped weight. Look up the protocol for the phases, and you'll see what you need to do. It's nice to eat more food, but you can't go crazy and eat anything you want - it's easy to slip back into bad food choices, so stick to it faithfully and you'll do great!

Sorry I did that last message on my phone...lol
Is my coach expecting me to buy food today as I will be going onto phrase 3?
So I know we have our yummy breakfast I am excited about, then phrase 2 lunch and dinner how many snacks would you have???

your coach is not expecting you to buy food. If you chose not too you'll be all set. I forgot what's on P3...I think it's the exact same at P2 except for the change of breakfast... Do a search b/c there have been tons of conversations on P3.. Sorry I can't be of more help...

I ended up just buying the ready made vanilla puddings, lost 3 pounds so now have lost just under 20 pounds......
