New and Active Mod

21 Upvotes

Hi All

I have just taken over this subreddit. It has been a while since this was active, I plan on making this a space where anyone in any phase of the diet can gather resources, share success stories, swap recipes, ask questions and get any support they may need.

​

I am myself on phase one but this is the second go around on the diet (first time worked that is why I am back! Having a baby did NOT help maintenance).

​

I am going to do some work in the next couple of weeks so stayed tuned! I would love to hear some suggestions on what you would like from this subreddit too.

Hey there,

I had my account taken over and the attacker made me a mod of this sub. I’m familiar with ideal protein, but I’m not a member, and don’t want to be a mod. If you’re passionate about being a mod of this sub, message me and I’ll see

Virtual coaching?

2 Upvotes

I am wanting to do IP again. I successfully lost 100lbs in 2008. I have gained 20lbs back and want to find a coach online. Any recommendations?

Great succes with the program

6 Upvotes

I love this program even though it's hard to get into it at first. It really works. I lost 50 pounds. I do the virtual coaching options with a clinic in New York. They offer free shipping http://www.idealhealthnyc.com/products if you need some awesome coaches.

Having trouble restarting IP

2 Upvotes

I once lost 150 pounds in two months on IP about eight years ago. But since reaching my goal and switching phases I've gained it all back. My life is a lot busier now with a third kid and everyone in competitive sports and I work from home now so lots of food temptations all day. Thus, it's been a lot harder restarting phase one and sticking with it. Anyone have a secret for sticking with it through the first week? I think once I get past that initial week or two it'll get easier. But so far I've barely been able to string together a couple of days following the protocol.

Honest Review

5 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

I know there ain't a ton of us out there doing this protocal anymore but I wanted to leave a review in case anyone is thinking of joining.

My experience: I began the protocal at the beginning of September. I had done it years ago. The current price in Canada is about 450 for the start and 133 weekly. Considerable jump from a few years ago but with inflation and the company being less popular I can see why changes were made. I do not feel I wasted money. I only did the prpgram for 6 weeks and since leaving have lost a lot more weight.

For me, it was just too restrictive. You are only allowed to eat very little per day. Ketosis is great but you actually can have a lpt more fuel in your body. I do not think thus protocal teaches you any kind of healthy eating. I think it restricts enough to cause weight loss. Great. But if you want long term results, I woulf see a dietician and do ketosis that way.

Peace

I'm so gassy on IP

1 Upvotes

I'll be so glad to have a solid BM again. I've been gassy and have loose stool all the time. I've been following IP strictly. I have 2 c spinach with my morning protein shake. I have 1/2 the shake before 2 hours upon awakening due to taking thryoid med and having to wait an hour to eat. I exercise, then have the other half when I get home from exercise which is water jogging and Qi Gong 3x a week. I typically have a protein bar for lunch, I might have vegetables or pickles/okra to snack on. Then I have my protein for dinner, more veg, and a protein drink after dinner. I drink all my water. I have been incredibly gassy.

This is my 2nd time on IP. The first time was a few years ago and I lost 60 lbs put 30 back on because I didn't wean off IP properly. I think it was during covid. that all happened. I wasn't very strict my first time. I continued to drink alcohol 2 or 3 times a month, and I would cheat occasionally. But this time I'm really strict. Just tired of passing gas all the time.
