Why the Diet Works
A GREAT PROTOCOL + WEEKLY ACCOUNTABILIY = SUCCESS
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss protocol is a weekly one-on-one coached, medically developed, easy to follow, low-fat, low-carb, ketogenic protocol.
This 3-phase protocol takes you from weight loss and getting to your goal to stabilizing your new weight and keeping it off for good. We know losing weight isn’t easy but keeping it off is truly the hard part.
Our clients tell us the weekly coaching and accountability is a game changer when it comes to their success. Have you tried losing weight on your own? Were you successful? Did you keep it off?
THE 3 PHASES
Phase 1 – Achieving 100% of Your Weight Loss Goal
By restricting carbohydrate intake, the Weight Loss phase is designed to optimize fat loss through ketosis (a safe and natural state in which the body mobilizes stored fat as its energy source). You will be on an easy to follow, medically formulated diet plan.
Making sure the weight our clients are losing is fat and not muscle is a priority. With most calorie restricted diets and people using GLP-1s, up to 40% of the weight loss is muscle. Muscle is the engine that burns calories so maintaining muscle is vital to keeping the weight off. We accomplish this by using the highest quality protein supplements that include all 21 amino acids.
Phase 2 – Stabilizing your New Weight
When you’ve been a certain weight over a period of time, your body establishes it as it’s ‘Set Point’. When you lose weight, your body strives to regain the weight to get back, it wants to maintain it’s set point. Unfortunately, as you may have experienced, it’s pretty good at getting the weight back.
It does this by increasing the hunger hormone (ghrelin) and suppressing the satiety hormone (leptin) which tells the brain not only when to stop eating but also keeps hunger at bay between mealtimes.
Additionally, it is going to initiate a ‘conservation response’ and slow down your metabolism so you are burning less calories at rest.
During this phase you will continue to meet weekly with your coach as you reintroduce complex carbohydrates and fats to your diet until a new set point is established and your body will fight.
Phase 3 – Ongoing Support to Help you Maintain your Weight
It’s time for the real world! We know that can be scary.
Now that you’ve established a new set point, you’ll continue to receive support from your coach navigating real situations. The ‘middle’ isles in the grocery store, reading nutrition labels, having some indulgences. What about alcohol? What’s a tune up?
Through continued education and support you’ll keep that weight off for good this time!
