Question

Hi all hope everyone is doing well ! I’m on the alternative IP protocol because of food allergies. Gluten, sesame, celery. It’s been 6 weeks and I’m doing well. Anyone else on the alternative in here ? Because the only group I could find that says it is not really an IP group.  

Answer 1

Yes I m doing the alternative also After doing IP phase one for 2 weeks I really needed some fruit and different vegetables I have colitis and most of the approved and unlimited vegetables did not agree with me -so I found myself starting to stray I m finding the IP alternative much more manageable and satisfying I realize that the weight loss will be slower but it is worth it to me I m looking for a life style change

Answer 2

How is doing the alternate plan a benefit for your allergies? You still follow the exact same plan, but add three group choices. It doesn't change the basic plan though.  

Answer 3

I have lost 30lbs so far . There are only about 12 ip foods I can eat. And only 6 I like . I’m gonna be on this for atleast a year. I’m a pretty good cook and haven’t had any issues following the guidelines. But if I could only eat the same food for 2 meals a day for that long I don’t know that I’d stick to it .  

Answer 4

I'm also on the alternative because of hypoglycemia. I started the program in August 2019 & have lost 71 pounds. (I'm 58). I haven't seen this weight in 30 years!
