I thought I would write a little about the foods I have tried from Ideal Protein.
First-price-most are $4 each or $27 for a box of 7.
I like the crispy cereal. The Fine Herb & Cheese Omelet sounds much better than it is but it is ok for a change of pace and you can add some veggies to improve it even more.
I like the Chicken and the Mushroom soups. I also tried the Leek and it wasn't bad but the chicken is my fave. I try to use different veggies in it every day and switch off between the Chicken & Mushroom.
As for drinks-STAY AWAY FROM THE BLUEBERRY, CRANBERRY & POMEGRANATE DRINK!!! ewww!
I love the cappuccino drink! It's yummy if you freeze it a little, too. I also like the Wildberry Yogurt drink and that one is also good in the freezer.
I didn't love the Pink Lemonade but it's ok.
There is a vanilla and a chocolate drink that come pre-made in little boxes. I tried the vanilla and it's good but these cost $5, so you will pay a little more for the convenience.
I tried both the chocolate and the banana pudding and don't like either one. The chocolate is better but there is something weird about them. They have an almost mousse-like texture but not in a good way.
I tried the Vanilla Peanut Bar and wasn't crazy about it and also the Cran-Granata Bar which was really good.
I am still in first phase so I can't have a lot of the other foods yet, but I will do an update when I get to try more things. Of course these are only my opinions...which of course are correct! You may want to try other things and you might like them.
About cost-I think the consult & the first week's foods along w/ the vitamins and the $7 shaker cost me $326, the 2nd week I spent $90 on food and the 3rd week I spent $67 on food. I think you will average about $80 a week.
This is not a cheap diet! You will be saving at the supermarket, though, so that's a bit of a consolation.
Well, it's Friday night and we got "Up In the Air" from Netflix so I have to go drool over George Clooney for awhile. I will not have wine..I repeat I will not have wine...no thank you, Sweetheart, no wine for me...you enjoy it...argh!
And if you are reading me-be a follower! I just realized I have 2 and am thrilled!Now I want more!! I appreciate your stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThat's to see the puppies! :)
Thanks for the info on the food! Wow, it does seem a bit pricey. However, there's no price that's toooooo much to be skinny, right? (we'll keep telling ourselves that anyway) Are you hungry? Is there enough food? I make terrible choices daily. I haven't got to wonder why I'm heavy... I've enjoyed gaining every pound (well, you know what I mean).
How was the movie? I have 2 netflix sitting here that I've had for over a week, and I haven't found the time/motivation to watch, so I may have to send them back without viewing them.
This should let you see all the website where I have my galleries.

OMG-they are so cute! Such squirmy little fur-balls!
ReplyDeleteThe movie was good-I love G. Clooney! He is so handsome and looks so great w/ his grey hair. I liked him when he was young and still love him. Some guys get better w/ age!(like us women!)
I am hungry sometimes on this diet, but I don't crave any sweets really. It does something to your body chemisrty so you don't want them.
And it is high protein and proteins stay w/ you longer than carbs so you can handle it. I am also sticking to 3 protein packs a day and you are really allowed a forth. I am just trying to lose fast.
I think I am maybe at 10 lbs. now.
We also have Julie & Julia now from netflix, I wish we didn't b/c it's going to make me hungry!
They're so sweet. She's a good mommy! I'm excited to see how your weigh in goes today! Good luck!!! :) I've got my fingers crossed for you. Hope you're down as much as you feel you're down! :)
ReplyDeleteI liked Julie & Julia. It was so educational. Did you like it?
Not only do I love the blueberry pomegranate drink from ideal protein, but 4 of my friends on the diet love them too!
ReplyDeleteOkay - so the BEST drink on ideal protein is to take the vanilla pudding, add a full 12 oz of water, or even a bit more. Add some cinnamon, a touch of vanilla extract and a little stevia and shake it with a couple ice cubes in it. SOOOOO thick and yummy and good. To change it up, make it with some cold chai tea.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about using the pudding packets to make drinks. Try the butterscotch pudding made into a shake and add a little pumpkin pie spice. And I do the chocolate pudding as a drink with a touch of sweetner and lots of cinnamon. It has less carbs than the actual chocolate drink.
I've been on IP since Sept. 25th and I've lost 40 pounds!
Awesome! I am getting ready to start on the 15th of November, 2011 and even though I don't have the funds, I truly believe that God put this in my path. My husband is all for it. We are not going to buy Christmas gifts for each other and we are going to quit smoking. No extras in our buget for awhile but for the 1st time in YEARS, after trying it all, I have HOPE!
