Hi,

A user named Juiceman switched to alternative products for IP, although he followed the actual program for most of his journey. He said he was going to post in IP alternatives, but I can't seem to find anything. Please help. Thanks in advance.

There are quite a few of us here using alternative products for the protocol. If you're on Facebook, I recommend that you join the Ideal Protein Alternatives group, where you'll find a ton of info on food sources, how to read labels, etc. Very supportive and kind group.

I did the protocol last year completely on alternative products, and lost 60 pounds in 5 months. I ordered a lot of things from Nashua Nutrition and Diet Direct, although it's possible to buy some shakes, protein powder, and bars at local stores like Walmart and GNC.

Thanks for your helpful reply! Did you use the Protidiet products? Also, I searched for the Facebook Ideal Protein Alternatives group, and it came up with the regular Ideal Protein group....am I doing something wrong? Thanks again!

Sorry, I found the group and am waiting for approval! Fantastic.

Great! Yes, I used quite a few ProtiDiet products. Not everything PD makes is protocol compliant; you have to read labels. I ate a lot of their oatmeal and chili.
