hello, i am 36 and looking for a lifestyle change. I was told about this forum from someone who is currently doing the ideal protein diet program. i have noticed all of the great posts about this program. i dont plan on buying the products from the company but using a alternative plan. any tips that can be tossed my way wld be greatly appreciated.

You'll be better off posting in the Ideal Protein section. Those posters don't usually stray from their board so they won't see your question. Good luck!
