Question

I’m week 2 on my journey. I can’t find 1 thing that I like to eat if the prepackaged items. I’ve tried adding veggies but I can’t eat it. Any suggestions ? Am I the only one like this? Thanks

Answer 1

Maybe an alternative program not going to be easy if you don’t like anything  

Comments

@evita I had a friend that had to switch as well as she hated everything thus program doesn’t work for all She did an alternative keto plan and it worked just not as strict so it took a little longer to lose but that’s ok as too fast is not good anyways hope u find something

@evita you have to do what works for you or you won’t be successful

Answer 2

What was your favorite type of food before trying ideal protein? Sweets? Salty? Savory?  

Comments

Keep in mind your tastes will change and your body starts to detox. I didn’t like the oatmeal at first but now I do, and I add zucchini “apples” with them. Can you buy single packs of food or do you have to buy a whole box? For salty: I liked the bbq crisps, garlic and herb crisps, and the party mix. For sweets my absolute favorite was the chocolate soy puffs and the peanut butter bar. And the coconut bar was tasty, so was the chocolate mint. I wouldn’t give up just yet, give yourself time to adjust

---

Oh so true, your tastes will change, mine did after about 3 weeks!  

---

@nogging yep, I hated the pudding, now love it!  

Answer 3

So why don't you have a Shake in the morning have a salad for lunch with a bag of IP chips for dinner have 8 oz of lean meat with veggies for snack have a protein bar. You don't have to eat those meals. I didn't enjoy them either. Hope this helps

Comments

@evita . sorry I corrected it I meant a shake

---

@robinet exactly how I followed the program.  

---

@robinet chili is the only one of the soups I could eat

Answer 4

Your taste buds will change over the next couple weeks. Things you don't care for now may become your favorite. I love the chocolate chip pancake, vanilla crispy square (nuked for 15 seconds with cinnamon sprinkled on it), chocolate soy puffs, creamy chicken soup, the Chili is good. Just stick with it. Just think of the food as the tool that you need to be successful.  

Answer 5

What IP products have you tried?  

Answer 6

I think most of it leaves an after taste.  

Comments

@crabb157 well, the food I was eating before tasted good but left after-fat

---

@neckwear mine too

Answer 7

I didn’t like anything at first either. My taste buds changed after a while. maybe a month or so and things I hated turned into my favs!  

Answer 8

I love the vanilla crisps, soy chocolate balls. I crush the chips and put in my salad.  

Answer 9

What have you tried so far? Do you have @kippyva’s cookbook? There are IP foods that I couldn’t eat until I used her recipes.  

Comments

@evita she also has a Facebook page with recipes in the files section to get you started. It’s at  
https://www.facebook.com/groups/jan...share

---

@evita she has 2 books, make sure to grab the phase 1 book! Her new book is for maintenance! Recipes are amazing!  

Answer 10

Can’t is a very powerful statement

Answer 11

I don't use many varied products. Just garlic and herb chips (lunch), some shakes (vanilla premade or wildberry) and the pb bar for an evening snack. I've also made italian/herb crackers with the crispy cereal. A few things I also liked have vanished.  

Answer 12

If you like the chips and the drinks I would encourage you to do those for at least another two weeks before you make a hard decision to stop altogether. Give it a whole month and see what happens. You can have a drink in the morning for breakfast you can have chips for lunch you can have chips for a snack. Have you tried any of the bars or the crispy squares?  

Answer 13

Don’t pick soups if you don’t like them . Keep on trying there is 80 products to try ! Does your clinic sell individual products !  

Comments

@evita buy individuals till you find what you like : best sellers are : Chocolate drink mix Maple Oatmeal Cappuccino drink mix . The premise vanilla drink in coffee All the wafers Caramel Nut Bar ( like sneaker bar) South West cheese curls . Nacho Ranch Dorados , Ranch Dorados , Vanilla crispy square Choc crispy square Choc soy puffs Sweet and spicy trail mix Chocolate Brownie . Hope this give you an idea .  

---

@evita @lapstrake7 lost 100 pounds !  

Answer 14

My days are pretty repetitive with the things I like. Cappuccino drink for breakfast during the weekdays, I turn the chocolate chip pancake into a waffle every weekend (just add an egg) . Lunch is usually Ranch Chips, trail mix or Nacho Dorados with rotating veggies! (Although I’m hooked on rainbow salad right now! ). And then the snacks are easy, I LOVE them ALL!  

Comments

This  . I make it on Sunday and scoop it up with chips for my weekday lunches!  

---

@lapstrake7 oh thank you so much for sharing I need this in my life today

Answer 15

The omelet is good with added 2 tbsp of egg whites and stuffed with vegies like spinach, red pepper and mushrooms. I have an omelet pan that makes it easy.  

Answer 16

Try each product. If you only buy 1, and don’t like it, you only have to choke it down once. Go into it knowing that (for example) Dorados are just not gonna taste like Doritos. Find a few winners and stick to those. You can do it!  

Answer 17

I don’t eat any of the meals or soups . i only like bars, chips , snacks & shakes & the chili .  

Comments

@evita i was told all packets are created equal except restricted and you can have one of those a day . so i eat a restricted usually a bar cran / pom , pbutter bar or a non res vanilla krispy sq or orange or lemon wafer for breakfast / or chili which i think is restricted or a chip and veggies for lunch a dinner & then another snack like choc soy puffs after dinner . or i even split my protein between lunch n dinner. From what i was told you could literally eat 3 of any packets a day if not restricted

@evita all coaches are different.

@illness that is all I eat

Answer 18

Zucchini noodles with the chilli. Soooooooo good!  

Answer 19

I like ready made shakes nacho cheese and ranch dorotos n waffers

Answer 20

Love the dorado's, all the Choc bars. Vanilla bars, the premade drinks

Comments

@woodcock5418 me too!  

Answer 21

Thats why I stopped! The food didn’t work for me! The program works if you can stick with it but I would buy food and throw away!  

Comments

@belaud what are you doing now ? Yes this program is not for everyone

---

@kislev38 trying to figure it out!  

---

If the food isn’t tolerable . Its just a waste of money!  

Answer 22

Green onions sautéed then add mushrooms. 1can diced fire roasted tomatoes. Can add zucchini or other squash to either tomato basil or mushroom. Add cauliflower or broccoli bits to any soup. It’s a game changer. Same w pancake mix or powdered mixes. Add 1 pkg stevia. Cinnamon. Dash vanilla. Baking powder. I use egg whites instead of water. Voila. Waffle or pancake ! WF blueberry syrup one of few products of theirs I like. Get @kippyva’s cookbook & learn what to do. Chocolate crispy wafers. Vanilla crispy wafers. Sweet n spicy trail mix. Maple oatmeal w stevia & vanilla/cinnamon. Add instant coffee to choc or vanilla drink mix w ice. Delicious. Spread your wings and try variations on the theme.  

Answer 23

Start your day w veggies. I get jicama tortillas & grill them. If not avail just do veggie stir fry w green onions, mushrooms, spinach & few bites tomato. Add egg white mixture after all tender and what a breakfast ! You could have a pkg of their chips to crumble some to make migas like mixture. Think outside the box !  

Answer 24

The vanilla bars taste like rice crispy treats! And seriously. who doesnt like them! I also curb my bread love by fixing a hamburg bun with the potato puree! And the chips are good! I think they taste just like the regular ones! Ranch, taco, salt and vinegar are great!  

Comments

@kenwrick is the bun recipe in the cookbook

---

@isbella yes it is and also on pinterest! I put a bit of oil to it. Otherwise its dry. to make it look like a bun I use a 1 egg fry pan. the little one!  

Answer 25

Get the cookbook.  

Answer 26

To be honest I don’t like most of the food. I like some of the premade drinks and puddings and a couple flavours of crisps and a few bars. I manage okay. Also the mug cake and chocolate chip pancake as a muffin.  

Answer 27

There’s loads of recipes online too. I’ve made quite a few over the years.  

Answer 28

I don't eat the meals. I have a shake or choc chip pancake breakfast. Have a salad and bag of chips the ranch dorado's are good or the trail mix with a big salad then my protein and more vegetables then I heat up the brownie for 30 seconds microwave with cup of decaf tea to finish off the night. I too don't like the packaged meals but have been very successful hang in there it works  

Answer 29

Dinner is the protein sorry didn't put that above

Answer 30

I stick to Mug Cake for breakfast (yum it’s so good! ) Nacho Chips and roasted veggies or salad for lunch Protein/veggie dinner snack mix or chocolate drink (warmed - hot chocolate)

Comments

@portcullis45 what brand of mug cake do you use ?  

---

@robinet The IP chocolate caramel mug cake

---

@portcullis45 my clinic does not sell it.

@robinet  

Answer 31

I made cookies n muffins from my pudding and drink mixes so then I could add spices , vanilla n baking powder , extra virgin oil and eggs , so the taste was different

Answer 32

I just stuck with it and eventually I ended up liking the food and realizing my body prefers low carb. Try it for 60 days and see how you're doing. I didn't like the food at first either

Answer 33

My favorite IP foods are the vanilla rice crispy squares, chocolate soy puffs, chili is pretty good, Berry yogurt drink in the blender with a handful of fresh spinach and ice, Broccoli cheese soup with 2 cups of chopped broccoli. Also refrigerate the bars, wafers and they are even better. My daughter likes the chicken ala king with finely chopped broccoli, my son likes the Mac and cheese and rotini noodles. Try a combination of I P foods some are great and some are ok and some I never order. Also try some different spices, we like garlic and the chili blend from trader Joe's it has no salt in it.  

Answer 34

I only eat the premade chocolate shakes (heat them up as hot chocolate for breakfast), the peanut butter bar for my restricted and the chocolate soy balls. Most of the IP products are gross I have to agree.  

Comments

@voidance Stone and so very expensive !  

Answer 35

Chocolate coconut bars and the nacho chips

Answer 36

Morning go to is coffee mixed with chocolate drink mix. Lunch is salad and nacho doritos or spicy trail mix. All of the wafers are good and. Restricted bars are good. Dinner is veggies and 6 oz of meat. I make my own salad dressing.  

Answer 37

My favorites are the chocolate drink mix (hot or cold) and chocolate chip pancakes, although I do like many more things.
