Hello beautiful people!  What are some questions you have for people who have been through the IP program and were able to reach their goals?Hello beautiful people! What are some questions you have for people who have been through the IP program and were able to reach their goals? Do you have any “life after IP” questions? Thanks!  

Answer 1

For the questions so far, I highly recommend you watch some videos from the low carb/keto community. A couple that I think have been so great to understand it’s not about calories if in ketosis is Dr. Ben Bikman from low carb Denver 2019 - ketosis: the Metabolic Advantage and Dr Ken Berry why counting calories doesn’t work. I don’t think enough education is provided in this protocol to truly explain a hormonal approach to fat loss vs the traditional, flawed calories in/calories out Model. Ben Bikman explains this so well in that video and Berry explains why the counts are so inaccurate anyways.  

Answer 2

How do you keep it off? Mentally. I have done it 3 times and when I slip up long enough I end up heavier each time

Answer 3

How restricted is "life after"? I'm at 900 calories on a high day on plan but usually near 750-800 on average. I know I'll never be able to be a "normal" 2000 calories a day in post life, but how far below that are we talking?
