Question

Am I the only one that finds IP easier than “real” food? Fewer choices and frankly don’t have to think about food very much especially since in ketosis I don’t find myself hungry. Anyone else in the same boat?  

Answer 1

Yes. I would much rather just eat a salad and/or some fresh veggies and an IP food and call it good. So much easier than having to cook or plan meals.  

Answer 2

I absolutely agree ! I like not having to think about it !  

Answer 3

And . if you have enough “astronaut food” (as my family calls it) the pandemic is meh for food supply!  

Answer 4

Yep. I actually look forward to my packets and bars. no thiinking involved. And no cooking.  

Answer 5

I agree so much easier.  

Answer 6

Nope. I want to eat all the things. Ha ah

Answer 7

I agree. I am starting back tomorrow and looking forward to the ease of it.  

Answer 8

Agree. Being doing lots of air fryer vegetables

Answer 9

Love the convenience of it! So easy to pack work food!  

Answer 10

I agree 100%. Food has always been an enemy and it definitely doesn't feel like that now

Answer 11

Absolutely !  

Answer 12

I have trouble eating 8 oz of meat. Would just like the salads only.

@halsey78 try only 4 ounces

@halsey78 You must be in Canada because the U. S. downgraded to 4 to 6 oz.  

---

@masseur yes I am in Canada. Thanks will try less.  

---

@posada68362 thanks. Will try that.  

---

@halsey78 I used to split it up when I did 8. 4 at lunch and 4 at dinner. 8 all at once is really hard

Answer 13

Im hungry all the time

@eloquent16 A Gleason do you drink your water ? That helps to make you feel full. Good luck

---

Too much water!  

Answer 14

I think if I lived by myself I would feel this way. But I am cooking for my family and although I try to keep what I feed them on protocol I still fix them some things for sides that I can't have. And I want to eat all the things. I did really great my first 6 months, lost 70 pounds. Since the pandemic and having everyone here all the time I have really been struggling. I still need to lose about 65 pounds so I truly need to get my act together.

@hyperaemia great time for the family to learn to cook

@hyperaemia 70 pounds is awesome

Answer 15

I find it much easier to eat regular food and I’m not a veggie eater at all.  

Answer 16

Easy for me. No one wants my frozen zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice at wegmen’s so it is always stocked! Lol

Answer 17

Simple and easy, just the way I like it.  

Answer 18

Yes, starting 8th week and it is soooo easy. Of course my husband and I are both doing it. Not hungry and no cravings.  

Answer 19

Yep. even a cave man can do it

Answer 20

I like that it is limited and it takes away any indecision about what to eat.  

Answer 21

I find it so much easier with my busy work schedule to be able to just grab a packet and go and only have to think about 1 meal to prepare. I walk a lot for work so find myself more hungry but this is working for me

Answer 22

No I totally get that and I agree!  

Answer 23

Oh and the instant pot - gold. In less than an hour I’ve got 6 cups of rhubarb, 4 cups of chayote and 7 hard boiled eggs.  

Answer 24

I love how easy it is. I never have to wonder how much of something "non-protocol" I could have because I know I can't have it at all. While it sometimes sucks that I can't have birthday cake or fruit or carrots. it is so much easier.  

Answer 25

Thats why I love it. I dont wirry about making up different meals or coming up with ideas. Thats too much work and easy peasy makes it easier to stick to. I find I have enough choices with the food to switch it up. Too many contrived meals just makes me hungry for the foods I used to always eat.  

Answer 26

For sure! I’ve been off since November though and I literally don’t know how to eat. Lost 40 already put 25 back on.  

Answer 27

Yes! I agree!
