Has anyone ever tried Ideal Protein?
If so, what was your outcome?
Anything you would like to share, opinions??

    Never heard of it. A great rule of thumb is if it's cheap, leave it on the shelf. Also, if it has more than about 25g of Protein you're going to waste away the rest.

    I just read this this morning. As long as your are STRICT on it (no cookies AT ALL, no ketchup, no coffee creamer) you will do fine.

    Meh...eat the real stuff...why have something made by machines? Albeit, I will have the occasional protein shake (as natural a one that I can get) when I'm in a rush. Still tho...if it had a mother, or grew from the ground...GOOD for the body!!!

    Not a DAMN thing I buy the cheapest brand out there. I get it from wal mart $13 a tub and it's delicious. Plus it has raised my IQ to genius level. I am smarter now!

    not to mention your self-esteem is now at *kitten* status. way to go!

    *besos. you know i love you.

    thick, milky, hand delivered straight into my mouth.

    usually has a bit of a nutty flavor.
    You burn a lot of calories priming the pump, too.

    I did Ideal Protein for 3 months. I lost 33 pounds and a ton of inches. I just couldn't eat the food anymore. I was so sick of it. My plan was to take a couple months off and then get back on it but that never happened. I was gonna start back up in October but DH got laid off and now I can't afford it. I think it is a great program if you are committed to what it entails. It really does work. For me I have such a long ways to go that I don't know if I could handle eating the food until I reach 90% of my goal weight.. I also gained all of my weight back that I lost on the program once I stopped.

    I've been on it for about 8 weeks and lost 24 lbs. I am a busy single mom with a busy 16 year old. We were always eating fast food and basically crap. Ideal Protein (IP) is easy but restrictive in the first phase. You eat a lot of protein, but you also eat carb (part of the packets). It isn't cheap. But I gave up my Diet Mt Dew habit and eating out at lunch. Seems to be about the same amount I spent before! They have a lot of selection for a "packaged" diet. Check out at www.idealprotein.com. It is also FDA approved!

    I agree with you fully. I was going to get back into it again, but it's just so hard. Plus the fact that i have a long way to go as well, and drinking the shakes for the first 90% sucks..... But i have alot of it still in stock, and i don't want to waste my money. Possibly after the holidays, i will get back to it hardcore...

    I also have a ton of it left in stock and don't want to wast my money. I am going to try and get back into it after the holidays even if it is just to eat what I have left.
