Happy to share I lost 6.5 lbs and 7.5 inches on my first weigh in on Ideal Protein. Not bad for a week! Woohoo!

    7.5 inches in 1 week? Sounds a bit much

    Great job! I did IP for awhile and lost about 12 lbs. Keep at it

    That's great! And 7.5 inches is great for a week. I have weeks where, when I'm lifting and jogging - I lose upwards of 8 inches over my body! Keep it up! :)

    I assumed it's cumulative.
    1 inch per leg, 2 inches on the hips, 1 inch on the waist, etc...

    It is a severe diet plan. You drink 3 high protein, low carbs shakes a day and eat very little (less than 1,000 calories a day!). They actually tell you that you are not supposed to work out. I did this program several years ago and had success getting the weight off but put it and then some back on when I left the program. Everyone else that I know that has used this program ended up with the exact same results that I had. Great short term success but terrible long term success.

    I had the same doubts about the program-I don't want to lose weight and then gain it all back after I phase out but I have a bunch of friends who had success and have kept if off now a year or more. The most important thing I've learned so far is being conscious of what I'm putting in my body. Time will tell but I'm optimistic :-)
