Cooking the Ideal Protein Omelet

Here's how one of my clients cooks the omelet:  add 6 - 7 ozs of water to the shaker cup, add omelet mix and shake.  Pour into a microwave safe glass pie pan and cook for 2 minutes.  Puffs up nicely.  Veggies can also be added to omelet before cooking.

Thanks, Michele!

Ideal Protein Super Weekend

Here is some info from the Super Weekend:

You can swap lunch and dinner if you're hungrier at lunch or if that suits your work schedule better.

If you eat a bar as your protein source at lunch, you can cut it up into smaller pieces and eat it over a few hours.

Cut a bar into 12 pieces and store in the freezer.  When you have a craving for something sweet, take a piece of frozen bar - it'll take longer to eat, satisfy your sweet tooth and you won't be tempted to cheat with something that's not allowed.

If you're taking thyroid medication, take it at lunchtime - it'll be more effective.

The last 2 cal mag pills of the day should be taken with food.

"Milkshake"

One of my clients passed on a delicious way to enjoy a "milkshake".  Put chocolate pudding powder and water in a blender and blend until smooth.  Add ice cubes and blend again.  Refreshing and yummy on a hot day!  She also makes an iced cappuccino the same way.

Let me know if you've tried it and if you have any more ideas.
