in Introduce Yourself
Hi All,
My hubby and are on week 5 of the Ideal Protein diet and are doing very well! I've lost 18lbs and he has lost a whopping 30! Totally convinced now that we were addicted to carbs and sugar and its been incredibly eye opening so far...looking for others following this diet or other low carbs for more support and motivation and recipes....our center doesn't seem very with it....support-wise...the diet itself is GREAT and just what we needed.

    This sounds interesting. I've always been into low carb dieting, especially before I had my daughter! I have to look into this!!

    The first week is really tough as you get over your carb withdrawals but then you lose all the cravings it's the weirdest thing

    Hi there! I just finished Day 2 on IP, and I'm excited to find people that have had success on the program. What results did you have during your first week, and what was your starting weight (if you don't mind me asking)?

    Hi I started optimism vlcd 3 1/2 weeks ago. I lost 3 kilos in 3 weeks, very happy with that. But since then my weight loss has decreased dramatically and I don't understand why? I'm sticking to the diet and am only having 550-900 calories per day. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice would be great. Thanks

    I just started Ideal Protein, day 2. Looking for added support. So far, I'm loving the program, the accountability is so important for me to be successful.

    I am dealing with this right now. I swear, someone brought some bacon cheese fries into the office and I almost snatched it from them. I am only on day 2!
