    Hello, I am on my sixth week of the IP diet and have lose 20 lbs. It's been great but lately I have been having cravings for some normal food. I am going to stick with it though as I have a lot more weight to lose.

    Hi my name is Adam, I have been doing Ideal Protein for one month now. I have to say I cheated the past couple weeks and have not seen the weight loss that I saw before. Stick to it though, I have lost a lot of inches off my stomach so far!!

    This -- the first month of the diet my weight didn't change much but I went down 2 pant sizes, it reduces inches for sure.

    Is this a low carb diet? What are the macro percentages

    I have been on it for about 4 weeks. I have lost about 20 lbs, and lots of inches.
    I will say that this is easy to follow.. and yummy!!!
    I HATE diets, so when I tried this one out I actually liked the food. Although the puddings you made are not as good in my eyes. The soups, the chili, and everything else is very good.
    For breakfast I have 1 product
    lunch I have 1 product plus 2 cups veggies (they have a list)
    for supper I have meat and veggies
    for a snack is again 1 product.

    I am NOT hungry... I have gotten lots of compliments on my skin and they see a difference in how I look.
    Plus,, I have energy!

    I have 3 kids, and I am hugely over weight. If I can do this, anyone can.

    My Dr approved it, it is basically what I would be eating if I had a gastric bypass. Which was an option for me.

    You drink lots of water, and my menu can vary so much with all of the choices that I have. I still cook for the family what they want, but I eat what I need to.

    I have about 700 calories a day... about 3 grams of sugar, about 12 grams of carbs,
    Even if the scale says I didn't lose as much as I think I should have... the measuring tape says I lost in inches!
