[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I successfully lost over 40 lbs using this plan. Their replacement food tasted fine to me, but I mostly stuck with shakes, drinks, chips and bars.  The ingredients in the foods are definitely NOT things you want to spend your life eating, but I was willing to do so for a couple of months to jump start my much needed weight loss.  Their food is also $$$$.  The plan worked for me bc it was very prescribed and I didn't have to put a lot of thought into it. I also really connected with my coach.  I am in the "maintenance" mode now and it is clear that you can't go back to old eating habits and expect to keep the weight off.  To make it work you have to spend a few months dedicated to weight loss but also be willing to make a life change overall after you reach your goal.  If you aren't ready to do both of those things then I wouldn't recommend spending the time and money buying into their program.    [/quote]

Op here - I also need something prescribed in order to be successful. Would you mind telling me how much you paid for fees and food. Also, how long did it take you to lose 40 lbs.? Thx [/quote]

I paid a few hundred to get started with a coach, which includes the first week or so of food and vitamins. After that it cost me approximately $4.50 for each IP food. You typically eat 3-4 of their IP foods per day, depending on what your daily routine is like (so approximately $95-$125/ week).  It took me 3 months to lose 30 pounds and I usually only had 3 IP meals per day.  After that my loss slowed down bc I wasn't being as stringent in following the plan (though still within a very prescribed framework) -- which my coach and I were ok with. I was still losing and neither my coach nor I wanted me to "burn out".  If you follow the plan you will lose weight -- that is the easy part.  Keeping the weight off is the challenge, but I really think it's just a mindset of not going back to old habits. [/quote]
