you can have any of the packages any time of day. Just need to have 3 per day- only 1 can be restricted.

You can eat the same product 3x day if you like or mix it up. The only rule is you can only have one of the “restricted” items per day. Does that help clarify?

I did not get to choose what’s was in my starter pack. The vanilla drink I went and got 2 shots of espresso over ice from Starbucks and dumped the drink over that. I don’t like to drink my meals. I’ve never been a shake person.

Broccoli and cheese soup with steamed broccoli and the chicken soups are my lunch go to’s I doctor them up with a little seasonings Chocolate drink mix with 2 shots of espresso warm or cold is my typical morning I think it tastes better than Starbucks but also I will take the packet and mix it with a tiny bit of water to make it like a thick cake batter and it tastes like chocolate cake batter soooo good Occasionally I will do the ranch dorados with a homemade salsa but I’m not super big in the chips however I loveeeee the southwest cheese curls, I will also use these to crush them up and “bread” chicken tenders Vanilla squares, chocolate soy puff balls, are my fave snacks. but the new salted caramel chocolate clusters are like the Girl Scout cookie of the ideal protein line sooooo good

I love the chocolate drink mix either in my coffee in the morning( tastes like a fancy mocha drink! ) or as a shake with spinach for lunch. I also use the chips for a crunch addition to salads at lunch time. Love the brownie and wafers and the new salted caramel snacks. I also love to add whatever stir fry veggies I have on hand to either the mushroom couscous or veggie chile.

I didn’t like any of the soups or entrees. I’ve learned to adapt the ready-made vanilla shake as my coffee creamer and have the peach mango smoothie as my dessert for lunch. I also like the mint chocolate protein bar. But that’s been about it!

For breakfast foods I do oatmeal or mug cake as a waffle (add egg whites) Lunch I eat salad and part of my protein ( chicken, tuna, taco beef) Sometimes I’ll do a chili pack instead Snack is a wafer, bar, or vanilla drink over espresso Dinner is veg and protein IP pack for evening snack bar, wafer or flings, dorados I keep it pretty simple as once I’m in ketosis I’m not hungry and it’s just fuel for my body Mostly I eat real foods (veggies and protein) and use the IP products as supplemental foods or snacks

When there are packets I don't like I make a recipe with them. I also had a starter bag and most of the stuff didn't appeal to me. If I thought they would be nasty I didn't even try them and made something else with them. You can find recipes online and also Janeva's cook book is a game changer. My favorites to eat straight out of the packet are the Dorados (Nacho or Ranch), the new salted caramel clusters, vanilla crispy squares, and chocolate wafers. It's hard at first but you start figuring out what you like and it gets better. If your clinic doesn't sell individual packets, check around to see who does. That made a big difference for me to be able to try things out without being stuck with 7 packets of something I hated.

You won’t love any of them till your body chemistry changes and you drop into ketosis. That will happen week 2 or three. You will know becouse everything starts tasting sweet and you feel better. Your through detox so no more shakes, head aches or muscle cramps. Till then stick with savory stuff.

Mendola Beeman different centers pick different stuff for starter packs. My center has a trading box so if something doesn’t appeal to you then you trade one for one. Some of our choices are lifestyle based; I’ll do pancakes or omelettes as I shelter in place but don’t find time otherwise.

I love the crisp cereal and vanilla drinks for breakfast. I cannot live with out my Doritos for lunch! The new snacks just rolled out for deserts are amazing. Make sure to get your faves moving forward! It really helps. (I do not do the IP vitamins) I buy mine from Costco-larger qty and better price. ;/ I had blood work done and know which actual vitamins I need-like B12 and D.
