Article by Andrea Messina If you've tried to lose weight before and struggled, you know how frustrating it can be. Ideal Protein's doctor-designed nutritional Ketogenic Weight Loss Protocol treats weight loss as healthcare and food as medicine. "I will never, ever go back to my bad habits. They are gone!" You can't beat that for a weight-loss testimonial! It comes from Laura, a middle school teacher who lost 140 pounds with the Ideal Protein Protocol. It was, she says, life-changing. Like Laura, you may have tried other diet plans, but this is a unique, doctor-designed protocol — and it gets results. The Ideal Protein Protocol fires up weight loss by switching on your body's own fat-burning abilities. Typically, your body gets its fuel primarily from sugar, the main source of which is carbohydrates — and we tend to eat a lot of them! But on the Ideal Protein Protocol, carbs take a back seat (like way, way back) by being restricted in a safe, measured way. Your body shifts to burning its stored fat for energy instead, a process known as ketosis. It's a proven and powerful way to lose weight. Even better, unlike many keto-based diets, the Ideal Protein Protocol is nutritionally balanced: You eat lots of fresh vegetables and — as the name suggests — high-quality lean proteins such as beef, fish and seafood, pork and poultry, which helps you preserve muscle mass while you're burning fat. Another major difference? The Ideal Protein Protocol is low fat (why add fat when you're trying to shed pounds?). For many of us, food can seem like the enemy. But at Ideal Protein, food is medicine — and weight loss is healthcare. Choosing the right foods in the right amounts can help cut the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and, of course, the toll that extra weight takes on the body. So, what's on the menu? A delicious array of Ideal Protein foods to support protein intake (think omelets for breakfast, mac and cheese for lunch, spicy chips for snacks), chicken and meat, a wide range of vegetables, healthy oils and essential micronutrients. What's more, there are dozens of easy-prep recipes created especially for Ideal Protein, including beef-stuffed peppers, turkey meatballs and chipotle-chile salmon — plus vegetarian options. Ideal Protein Yes, the food tastes good and the options are many, but that's only part of the program. The real secret weapon in the Ideal Protein Protocol? Your own personal coach. Research shows that support and accountability are essential to losing weight — and keeping it off. That's why you'll meet one-on-one each week with a specially trained coach, who will help you stay on track, learn healthy habits (for body and mind) and get tasty recipes and tips. It's a relationship where you'll be educated, inspired — and celebrated! Your coach is with you every step of the way, through each of the three distinct phases of the Ideal Protein Protocol. In Phase 1, you'll transition into ketosis — the metabolic state where you're burning stored fat — and weight loss. You'll get motivation and troubleshooting if and when you need it. Then, once you reach your goal weight, your coach will help you transition into Phase 2: Stabilization. Here, you'll gradually re-introduce carbs and determine the right amounts of fat, protein and net carbs that make up your unique Macro Code, which will help you stick to your goal weight for the long run. In Phase 3, Maintenance, your Macro Code and your coach will guide you to holding steady at your healthy weight and living your best life. So how does it work in the real world? Let's look at Laura, the middle school teacher, one of thousands of people who've won at losing with Ideal Protein. Facing serious health challenges, she struggled to lose weight. "I had tried programs. I had tried pills. I had tried therapy — and nothing was working for me," she remembers. "When I went to Ideal Protein, not only did my coach sit me down and say, 'What do you want?' we made a plan together — and that is literally what lifted me and drove me forward." With the help of her coach, Laura has transformed not only her body but her attitude: "I completely learned how to use food in a positive way. I feel amazing!" And she's inspired her students, too, who have started bringing broccoli to class. "The kids look at me and they go, 'You did it!'" She did it — and so can you.
