Very eye-opening; I knew I had weight to lose, but I weighed-in at over 20 pound more than expected. Yikes! Really glad I've signed on for this protocol and I can already see and feel the difference in my body....and my skin! 06/28/2014 - 07:56

I'm only a week into the phase 1 of the diet, I actually weight in tomorrow, Im having a hard time finding ways to make different protein meals, Im hoping to find some good, easy recipes on this site. Any help, recommendations would be appreciated.thanks 05/26/2014 - 15:27
I'm not sure how helpful this is, but try things you wouldn't normally.. I have found the more I taste new foods the less attached I am to the old comfort foods of my past. Hope this help, keep up the good work :)
05/28/2014 - 13:05
Welcome to the program! It's tough the first couple of weeks, but keep at it. Soon, you will not crave other foods. I look for IP recipes on pinterest as well. Good luck on your journey to a healthier you!

New to the program....are we allowed to have lemon juice in phase 1? 05/20/2014 - 14:14
 I believe the answer is yes (provided whatever is used to sweeten it is compliant). Ideal Protein does have a "Lemon Tea Drink Mix"
05/20/2014 - 14:19
Thanks.....dijon mustard allowed? Im\
Thanks steve....is dijon mustard allowed? I am trying to do some salad dressings recipes. 05/20/2014 - 14:21
Safe in moderation as far as I understand, depending on the brand it can have a certain amount of sugar. (P.S. I am not an IP expert :)
05/20/2014 - 14:24
Gotcha.....my counselor is new and doesn't know alot about anything. Really appreciated your help.
05/20/2014 - 14:28
My counsellor said real lemon juice is ok, I add half a lemon peel and all to my smoothie in the morning...

Are all of the recipes on here ok for stage 1? Sorry very new only been on the program for 1 week 05/19/2014 - 11:32
Not all recipes are phase 1, we do add the phase if one of the Ideal Protein experts tells us but otherwise we don't specify so as to not lead anyone astray :)
05/19/2014 - 11:35
ok thank you!!! I made a list of the ones I want to try and will be asking my coach tomorrow when I go to weigh in :)

anyone experience really bad constipation during phase 1? if yes any thoughts for help with this? 05/14/2014 - 20:23
My coach had a few tips. Make sure you are getting your 1-2 tsps or olive oil in, your 30 minute walks and there is also a digestive enzyme you can buy from Walmart. The brand is SWISS. I did all 3 of these and it worked. I only did the enymes for 1 month.

Hi...New to the program started on Friday...Looking forward to see results as I have 100 pounds to lose. 03/22/2014 - 15:12
I hope you see results fast and we are cheering for you!
03/29/2014 - 11:03
I too have 100 lbs to lose. Have been on program now for three months and down 30 lbs! It works
04/04/2014 - 13:48
Best thing I have done for myself. I am down 60 pounds
In 18 weeks. I'm doing my detox this week. About another 10 pounds to go. Thank you Ideal protein !!! 09/03/2014 - 06:45

I would really like to see the recipes grouped by phases - anybody else having trouble finding what they can eat in these recipes? 03/16/2014 - 12:23
I agree it would be nice to know which recipes are for what phases.
04/30/2014 - 12:20

I just started on IP 4 days ago! I'm so in need of some carbs! Mainly some bread..its my vice! Any advice? 03/14/2014 - 10:08
Be strong! Just imagine how tasty and rewarding it will be if you can finish well. For me weight loss was beating those first cravings and training myself to hold back :)
03/14/2014 - 10:12
I must say since being on diet I don't crave sweets or bread or my fav crackers and cheese. What I have noticed is I like cauliflower more by using it as rice roasted and flat bread It's amazing try it you'll love it

are you allowed kidney beans on IP diet? 03/08/2014 - 17:32
I don't believe so, legumes are high carb so they would be restricted.
03/08/2014 - 17:57
thanks Jan
03/10/2014 - 12:51
No legumes are allowed on phase 1 or 2. sorry...

I guess this forum is not too busy. 03/06/2014 - 11:56
The forum has about 600 views per day but a large percentage of our visitors are dieters. We have several IP clinics that check regularly but it make take a few days before someone can answer a more "technical" question.

I am on this program for the third week and I don't feel like I am in ketosis at all. Even though I lost 6 lbs the first week and nearly 3 the second week. How are you suppose to feel in ketosis? 03/05/2014 - 18:32
I agree with the comment above, I have seen this question answered before somewhere but I don't want to play guessing games with your health so I will wait for one of the IP experts to answer.
03/06/2014 - 12:02
thank you jan ,
03/07/2014 - 11:14
Im in the same boat
03/12/2014 - 19:39
You can buy the ketosis sticks at the pharmacy! I love them, it is helpful to know. :)

I am 5 weeks into program and lost 20 lbs, but for some reason (not cheating) I seem to have fallen out of ketosis....any ideas of how to jumpstart back into it again? 03/03/2014 - 10:48
See my comment to Dianne above, I know the answers normally given but I do not want to guess on a health related matter :)
03/06/2014 - 12:03

Hello everyone. Thanks to this site and the program i am soon ready to leave phase 1. Almost at my weight loss goal of 50lbs. Yay! So stay the course do not cheat and more importantly weigh your meats. Heh, heh. So speaks the carnivore.Lol. 03/02/2014 - 14:05
i have a problem weighing my meat because i cook for the week and alot any suggestion so i can get on track. i know they say dont weight it after

How do you figure out which recipes on this site are in the 1st phase? 02/22/2014 - 16:39
Yes i would like to know to
03/12/2014 - 19:40
My comment goes to this as well. As a busy person it is very time consuming to read through all the recipes and try to decide if you are allowed them or not

Good morning everyone....i am going into my 3rd week, only down 6 pounds, thought the results would be greater. I am still going to stick with the program, looking for tips in greater weight loss..... 02/22/2014 - 07:42
Make sure you are drinking lots of water, and do a quick 15 minutes of aerobics to get your system going, try and mix up a few different easy exercises and stretches. For me it took about 5-6 weeks before I started to lose significant weight. Keep up the good work!
02/22/2014 - 14:12
I am starting my third week and have only lost 3.5 lbs. very disappointed. Thought I would have lost 7-10 lbs by now. Just ready to give up.

Is there anyway to search the site for a specific ingredient (i.e. chicken) or by phase? 02/12/2014 - 08:42
Not yet, thinking of adding this feature :)
02/12/2014 - 10:26
Steve - I think this would be THE most helpful feature to add to this site
03/16/2014 - 12:26
 I agree. This is the first time on the site and I would love to have a search engine to find recipes.

Re: @lindas88 I am into this diet for 7 days now. I seem to have a weird taste in my mouth. Has anyone else have this? 02/04/2014 - 07:52
Yes, I had this metallic taste in my mouth after the first couple of weeks. Talked about it to the homeopath where I go for the Ideal Protein products and she says it is probably due to a heavy metals build up in my system. She recommended I take capsules of "charbon actif". Sorry, do not know what it is in English. The closest I can get is "active carbon or coal". It worked for me. After about 5 days, the taste was gone.

Haven't heard of that before, are you drinking lots of water?
02/04/2014 - 10:56
It could be a taste for something sweet it will pass
02/05/2014 - 00:34
I am drinking lot's of water. It is better now. I guess it is normal to get that taste.
02/10/2014 - 12:56
When you are in ketosis you will experience a metalic taste in your mouth and it has been said that when you are in ketosis you will have bad breath. Altoid mini mints can be used on the IP program.

My husband and I also started this together, we both lost 6.5 pounds in the first 5 days. Next weigh in will be a full 7 days, can't wait to see how we did. 02/01/2014 - 21:54
Great job! Don't be discouraged if your weight fluxuates up and down in the first 6 weeks.
02/02/2014 - 00:31
Awesome
02/05/2014 - 00:35
I only lost 2.2 pounds the second week. I was a bit discouraged because I followed exactly what I was suppose to eat.

Sick of salad? Try chopping up imitation crab sticks, tomato, a little splash of Russian dressing, and some ranch. Best combo with iceberg lettuce. 01/23/2014 - 14:35
No russian or ranch dressing unless IP approved..ie. Walden Farms
01/29/2014 - 14:30
I wasn't sure if we could have imitation crab...glad o know we can.
