Question

Does anyone have experience with traveling to 3rd world countries while on phase 1? I'm going to Uganda next month and just started IP this week. I will have been on the program for about 3 weeks by the time I go. The food where we'll be staying is mostly carbs. ‍♀️ And, to be culturally sensitive, I will be eating what they make for me in the little village we'll be in. I can take IP foods with me, but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and has tips or tricks?! Otherwise I'll just jump off the wagon. FOR 2 WEEKS while we're there. :(

Answer 1

That’s a lot of IP food to take.  I would just try to eat low carb while there but then again you said it’s carby food. That’s quite a challenge you have.  

Answer 2

Why don't you phase off and restart when you come back. It would make it much easier for you! It is not as if you are going to a major city, where it would be easy.  

Answer 3

I went to South Africa 2 years ago and just phased off. It's really hard. I just made smart choices and stayed away from bread, rice and potatoes as much as I could. But you gotta eat and enjoy your trip. I think I only gained 4 lbs over 3 weeks.
