Ideal Protein Results

This weight loss program, is a medically designed and coached program designed for you to lose pounds per week until your goal is achieved. Once the goal is achieved, you start to get more and more food from the grocery until that's all you get. This is a carbohydrate reduced program not a "no carbohydrate" program and that's one of the ways it works so well.

The protocol was developed over 20 years ago by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh MD, PhD who focused his career and research on nutrition with a particular emphasis on the treatment of obesity. The program consists of 4 phases: weight-loss in the first two phases by using Ideal Protein meal replacements and maintenance in the last two phases.

We offer high quality protein and nutritious foods which are available in over 50 delicious varieties. The diet has a beginning and an end, and we will teach you how to eat right once you are done with the program.

According to Dr. Tran Tien, “The cause of many weight issues in a modern society is insulin dysfunction. A diet grossly disproportionate in its share of saturated fats and sugars, such as in breads, cereals, muffins, cakes, pastries, pasta, pizza, rice, corn – very much like the North American diet – causes the pancreas to produce an overabundance of insulin, which stays in the system and puts the blood sugar level in a negative balance.”

An overproduction of insulin may lead to hypoglycemia or low glycemia, which in turn may induce constant sugar cravings and weight gain. One of Insulin’s primary functions is to regulate blood sugar levels, however, it is also the hormone that facilitates the transport of fat (triglycerides) into the fat cells. Even worse, it “locks” the fat into the fat cell, preventing it from being used as a source of energy. Now, because the blood sugar has dropped (and we can’t access the fat as a fuel source) it creates “sugar cravings’ and the vicious cycle begins again. In other words, an overabundance of insulin can cause weight gain.

To lose weight one must obviously consume fewer calories than are expended. However to specifically target fat loss we need to take into account the following factors The body has four compartments of energy from which it draws its metabolic needs:

1. Blood glucose
2. Glycogen
3. Muscle
4. Fat
