Ideal Protein Information
The three phases of the Ideal Protein Program are designed to help you set, achieve and maintain your weight loss goals. This program 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, and develop smarter eating habits and lifestyle choices to help maintain your weight after weight loss is achieved.
PHASE ONE
WEIGHT LOSS: Reset body to burn fat & lose the weight.
Appropriate diet is an important factor in initiating & maintaining normal function of puberty & fertility. Nowadays, correcting lifestyle through adjusting diet & exercising aim to normalize androgen levels & set ovulation is considered as the first line of treatment for PCOS patients.
By restricting carbohydrate intake, the Weight Loss Phase is designed to optimize fat loss through ketosis (a safe & natural state in which the body mobilizes stored fat as its alternative energy source). You’ll remain in Phase 1 until you have reached your weight loss goal.
PHASE TWO
STABILIZATION: Rest mind to maintain a healthy weight & build healthy habits.
Following weight loss, the body fights to regain lost weight. This “energy gap,” where more calories are desired than required, makes weight loss difficult to manage & maintain.
Stabilization is about narrowing this gap by adjusting the intake of protein/fat/carbs to effectively manage hunger, promote greater satiety & maintain weight loss. Weekly follow-up sessions over the course of two months or more are designed to monitor carbohydrate reintroduction & track weight.
PHASE THREE
MAINTENANCE: Reset possible & live your fullest, healthiest, best life yet.
For the first 12 months following Stabilization, you will continue to receive education & support from your coach and clinic. It’s also recommended to “check in” regularly with your coach during this period.
In addition, you will also have the option to stay connected to your coach & clinic through the app and Wi-Fi scale.
For all of those in Maintenance, two semi-annual “tune-ups” are strongly encouraged.
