I'm not a pudding person. I had a shake already.. my bar is safe until later today. I was afraid to eat it early and then feel left out tonight - going to my knitting group tonight, I need my treat then while they eat goodies from the food court.
Anyway that's a lot to do about me and food and cravings. *sigh* it's one of those days.
Oh I here you girl, this has been a long week, having trouble with wanting or craving(mostly mental) I think it's this time of year or I don't know, seems like I'm really having to fight hard for every ounce, haven't gone off plan just add on a non restricted to keep me from having something I should not. Any way you have helped me, knowing I'm not alone.

to you too Meandu, you will find lots of support here!
FAQ's
1. How is the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method different from other protein diets on the market?
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method treats weight issues at its source. By the time you reach your weight loss goal, you will have transformed your body’s ability to metabolize sugar by reeducating your pancreas to produce only the right amount of insulin needed.
The Ideal Diet aims at reducing carbohydrates and fats, not protein. In doing so, it preserves muscle tissue and protects vital organs to secure their proper function. In other words, you will lose fat, not muscle.
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method features up to a whopping 20 grams of protein per portion, twice as much as most of the competition.
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method features a high biological protein, complete with eight (8) essential amino acids, that recreates 100% of the biological value of a complete protein for maximum assimilation and absorption.
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is less toxic than other protein diets because it features less saturated fats, no trans fats, no aspartame, no Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and no Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs).
2. Is the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method safe?
Our protocol is safe for everyone, except those with a dysfunctional liver or kidneys. Diabetics Type I should only do the Alternative protocol and women who are pregnant or breast feeding should only use the Ideal Protein’s protein foods to supplement their diet.
3. Can a Dieter expect consistent weight loss?
Yes. Women will lose on average 3-5 lbs, Men 5-7 lbs per week. If the protocol is followed without any deviations and weight loss is not achieved in any given week it is due to one of the following 4 reasons:
Intentional or unintentional deviations from the program (cheats).
Pre or Peril-Menopausal Women
Constipation
Muscle Gain vs. Fat Loss
4. Why are the Natura supplements compulsory during the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method?
It is important for people following the protocol to ensure they take the recommended supplements as specified to compensate for nutrients otherwise present in foods from Groups I, II and III. If they don’t, their body’s systems will be lacking the nutrients they need to function optimally.

Some things are already getting loose!
LOVE THIS!!!!!!
My sister was surprised when I told her I'd actually reached the weight loss goal that my Dr. had recommended, and am what we called 'phasing off' presently, adding back in some complex carbs, fruit, and dairy at breakfast. And that this means I'll be able to enjoy a wider variety of foods in moderation while I'm at her place for our Christmas get-together on Dec 28th. (That will be my 14th day on P3, and I'm going start Maintenance on that day and treat it as my first fun day). She always has been quite concerned with ensuring that her table included lots of plan-appropriate foods for me while I've been dieting this year, so I was glad to reassure her not to worry about any diet-related concerns on my behalf. She doesn't know about the P1 day after the 'splurge' but we'll deal with that. LOL.
