How do I lose weight on The Ideal Protein Protocol?

The Ideal Protein Protocol is medically designed to help you lose weight, by resetting your body to burn fat. Here is how it works: The body draws from three energy sources to meet its metabolic needs: carbohydrates, protein and fat. The body first draws on its carbohydrate reserve before turning to its protein and fat. During the weight loss phase of the protocol, you’ll limit carb intake to encourage your body to turn to its fat and protein stores for energy. By eating protein-rich foods, the protocol helps support muscle mass and teaches you how to develop smarter eating habits to help maintain your weight after you achieve your weight loss goal. The Ideal Protein protocol isn't a high-protein diet. It simply ofers a variety of high-quality, protein-based foods that are easily absorbed by the body.

Why is the Ideal Protein Protocol a 3 Phase program?

Weight Loss - Phase 1: This phase is designed to optimize fat loss through nutritional ketosis (a safe and natural state in which the body mobilizes stored fat as its alternative energy source). Lean body mass is preserved through an adequate daily intake of high biological protein. Essential nutrients are provided through daily supplements, water and low-glycemic vegetables. Stabilization - Phase 2: Following weight loss, the body fights to regain lost weight by increasing hunger and cravings, and by burning fewer calories. The purpose of Stabilization is to adjust macronutrient intake(protein/fat/carbs) in the right proportions to effectively manage hunger, promote greater satiety and maintain weight loss. Weekly follow-up sessions are designed to track weight trends and adjust macros as needed. Maintenance - Phase 3: For the first 12 months following Stabilization, you will continue to be supported by your coach and will receive ongoing education and strategies for maintaining weight loss. In addition to clinic visits,you will also have the option to stay connected to your coach and Advanced Vitality through the Ideal Protein app and WiFi scale. You’ll be empowered to make smarter, healthier choices in your whole new healthier life by learning:

• How to be mindful of what you eat and how much you're eating
• How and why your body gains weight and how to avoid it
• How to have fun with your food by adding variety to your meals

Is the Ideal Protein Protocol Vegetarian or Vegan friednly?

Vegetarians can follow the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Protocol and can consume eggs, fish or tofu during their evening meal for their whole protein. As an alternative, vegetarians can have 2 Ideal Protein foods for dinner in replacement of their whole protein. Ensure you review the ingredient list on all boxes before purchasing them. Strict vegans, who do not consume any animal proteins and animal by-products, such as dairy products, honey and so on, do not qualify to follow the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Protocol due to the many dietary restrictions.

What will the Ideal Protein program cost me?

In North America, the Ideal Protein Protocol cost on average about $15 a day, which includes the cost of the foods and the supplements. We encourage you to think of the cost of the Protocol as part of your grocery bill. Redirecting average food expenses to different, healthier options often results in the Protocol being neutral in cost. There is a one time coaching/consultation fee of $200.00 that provides you lifetime access to weekly coaching/empowerment sessions with our Ideal Protein Coach.

How is the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Protocol different from other protein diets?

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Protocol addresses weight issues at their source; reducing carbohydrates and fats while ensuring adequate daily protein intake. In other words, the goal is to lose fat, not muscle. While on the Protocol, through personalized coaching, you’re also provided with healthier lifestyle education so that you are empowered to sustain your weight loss results over your life course.
