Weight Loss
Losing weight can be a challenge, but the process of weight loss is simple. The Ideal Protein Ketogenic Weight Loss Protocol is a medically developed 3 phase protocol containing 2 key components – weight loss and a healthier lifestyle education so that you are empowered to sustain your weight loss results over your life course.
LOSE THE WEIGHT. KEEP IT OFF.
Losing weight isn't always easy but it can be simple
FOLLOW THE PROTOCOL
Is Ketosis safe?
Ketosis is a normal metabolic process, which refers to the state of metabolism the body is in when it uses fat as a primary energy source.
In fact, we all do a little ‘ketosis” each night when we sleep. As we fast during the night, our blood sugars drop and our body begins breaking down fat to use as energy.
What can I eat?
During your weight loss journey, you will have the choice to eat a variety of Ideal Protein foods that are easy to prepare and available in a wide array of textures, tastes and flavors.
These foods include delicious main course, dessert, snack, condiment and complete meal replacement options. From savoury offerings to sweet treats there are Ideal Protein foods available for every taste.
As a day-to-day example, a regular meal day on Phase 1 includes:
3 Ideal Protein foods
4 cups of select vegetables
1 dinner protein of your choice
What kind of protein is used in the products?
Ideal Protein products employ six different proteins, which vary in usage from product to product, and include: whey isolates, soy isolates, milk protein, pea protein, albumin, and hydrolyzed collagen. This variation gives clients many different options, and is designed so people with sensitivities to dairy/soy, or vegetarians, can participate in the Protocol.
How it works
The body has three sources of energy from which it draws to meet its metabolic needs: Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fat.
Chronologically, the body will first draw on its carbohydrate reserve before turning to protein and fat. During the weight loss phases of the Protocol, carbohydrate intake is limited to encourage the body to turn to its fat components for energy. By eating protein foods, the Protocol helps to support muscle mass and teaches you how to develop smarter eating habits and lifestyle choices, to help maintain your weight after weight loss is achieved. During your weight loss journey, you will have the choice to eat from a variety of Ideal Protein foods that are easy to prepare and available in a variety of textures, tastes, and flavors. The Ideal Protein food is available in our authorized clinics and centers across North America.
