Question

Can someone clarify Walden Farm product usage on phase 1? My coach has never given me a straight answer. How many tables spoons are allowed daily? My coach said look for the items that are 0, 0, 0. but the more you have, those zeros add up into numbers  Thankspically I have the coffee creamer 3tbs a morning. A dressing 2-3 table spoons per salad, and maybe a third with the syrup on a waffle or thousand island as a burger condiment. Is this way to much? I’m losing weekly, but slowly.  

Answer 1

According to the new protocol, there are only 4 extras allowed (down from 6 in the old protocol). This is 4 servings of extras - including all Walden Farms and gums/mints. Those zeroes do add up and they add up quickly.

@brisk I didn’t know the mints were counted!

Everything you put in your mouth counts!  

Answer 2

Usually whatever the serving size is unless using in recipe.

@bureau71 right, but how many serving allowed daily? Unlimited?

My coach said 4

Mine also - it was 5 servings last year.  

Answer 3

So basically no one knows. ‍♀️

It's 4 servings a day.  

Answer 4

I allow my clients 4-5 extras per day. Each serving size is 1 extra. If they have a stall we revisit the extras, but as long as they’re consistently losing we’re good ☺️. Hope that answers your question! Oh and an extra is anything not on the sheet or in the extras category on the new sheet. all your 000 stuff is an extra. The IP water enhancers are free not extra.  

Answer 5

I asked my coach again last night and she said 6 as long as it is 000. She said the IP dressing and condiments have calories so those you can only have 2 servings a day.  

Answer 6

I think why she said that was because technically products are allowed to list carbs as zero even if they have . 6 or . 8 ect. That adds up if you have too many

Answer 7

When I’ve been on IP in the past (this is my third go around) my coach and I figured out the stevia/extras were slowing down my weight loss. As soon as I cut them out my weight started dropping fast. You might want to cut out all extras for a couple of weeks and see what happens
