So far, I've been doing well with IP and the foods. I find the foods tolerable and not bad tasting overall. I also add stuff to it. I went yesterday to get a few more things - like Leek Soup which I had 1/2 yesterday, and other 1/2 today. Along with 1/2 pancake mixed as a mini loaf each day to equal 1 package. In the soup I added some of my evening meat, and some of my veg. Rest of veg just ate them as is.
What I notice too is that I do think, oh, I'd like something else... especially at breakfast, but I realize, nope had my package - just have my coffee. I've switched from having almond milk in my coffee to Waldern's Caramel Creamer and stevia. I do add a bit of my extra egg white to any pancake packages to make them more fluffier (?). As I drink my coffee I find I am full on just that one pancake mix and coffee. Today I did my pancake as a Mug Cake. Adding a bit of egg, and a bit of Waldern's chocolate creamer, and baking powdered. Was much more filling then having it as a pancake.
I do get to lunch not terribly starving - just hungry. Suddenly I find lunch a lot when I look at it. 2 cups veg, a package, a bit of meat. Especially mixing things. Yesterday I also made some chayotes into 'baked apples'. Put them into 1/2 cups equals 1/2 cup veg. And makes it as a dessert! So does adding a bit of Waldern's Caramel to cucumbers...
Evenings are still a little munchy. Last night had a dill pickle and a bit of cucumber. Though I am managing much better then with Poon's plan. I think because on Poon's I can eat, whereas on IP I basically can't. Yes, if it's horribly bad I could have another package, or the pickle, or lettuce etc. But the idea is not to have anything but water. Speaking of which..... I'll be right back.
Have a bit of a headache. Apparently that's me going into ketosis. Should get those 'stix' out and see next time. Then again could be the weather. It's pouring rain and damp last few days.
Overall I'm pretty happy and calm. Sleeping better. Wake early, and up most of the day, I get fatigued off and on thru out the day. I am able to focus on what foods to have, and able to make them. The packages are quick to make. I skipped exercising, and will skip it (other then walk Jax) this week, just to let myself adjust. Josh ended up coming to the house and just working with AJ instead of both of us. Told him about IP, he knew about it.
So far, so good!
