Ideal Protein Diet
Why Ideal Protein?
Principals Behind the Protocol
Learn to live off of the body’s own fat reserves.
The body employs energy from three reserves:
- Glycogen (carbohydrate)
- Protein
- Fats
First from its simple and complex carbohydrate reserves and when depleted, turns simultaneously to its protein and fat reserves for energy. A person not in need of weight loss typically has approximately 1-2% of their body’s reserves from carbs, approximately 19% from their lean mass and 79% of their body reserves from fat.
Simple and complex carbohydrates can prevent weight loss.
The body stores approximately three days worth of carbohydrates. Because of this, the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method has a beginning and an end. Until 100% of the weight loss goal is achieved, we restrict sugars (simple and complex) Why? Because, as long as sugar is being consumed, the body is not burning fat. It’s as simple as that. Remember, the first source of energy is derived from glycogen (carbohydrate) reserves. The main principle is to deplete the glycogen (carbohydrate) reserves completely in order to compel the body to turn to its fat reserve to burn calories.
How do we get the body to burn its fat reserves and not its lean mass reserves, if both are depleted simultaneously?
First, by providing the body with foods that have a high protein value, complete with 8 essential amino acids, 97% absorbable, which make then biologically complete proteins.
Secondly, by supplementing with nutrient-rich supplements such as Natura Multi-Vita, Natura Calcium & Magnesium and Natura Potassium., key ingredients in muscle building and electrolytes to replace those normally found in foods restricted on the Ideal Protein protocol.
A dieter will feel energized, look vibrant and feel strong. It is no wonder. Given the opportunity for the body’s natural ability to heal itself and showcase its innate and ingenious powers, such as in the way during the protocol the body will return the favor with unparalleled force, radiance and beauty.
We also offer a modified protocol for Type 1 diabetics, adolescents and children.
What to Expect
On average, women lose weight at the rate of 3 to 4 pounds per week and 4 to 7 pounds per week for men. Based on over 25 years of experience and 5 million people in Europe, Canada, and the United States, the program enables the following:
- Quick weight loss without sacrificing lean mass
- An understanding of how food affects and is utilized by the body, including what causes fat storage
- Improved skin tone by providing the skin nutrients it needs
- Utilization of stored fat for energy usually by day 4 – fat, (along with cellulite) that contains chemical toxins
- Improved energy, appetite control and reduced cravings – usually on day 4 or 5
- Improved blood sugar, cholesterol levels and reduced blood pressure
