The Ideal Protein Protocol

What is The Ideal Protein Protocol?

The Ideal Protein Protocol is a 4 Phase Ketogenic weight and lifestyle management protocol medically developed and based on validated science for safe weight loss.

It features one-on-one coaching and a healthier lifestyle education in each phase of the journey. The Ideal Protein Protocol is overseen by licensed healthcare practitioners or trained coaches in thousands of clinics or centers across North America and more than fifteen countries worldwide.

Ideal Protein is about much more than just losing weight. The Ideal Protein Protocol is about getting your life back and regaining your health and vitality.

How does Ideal Protein work?

Ideal Protein brings our relationship with food back to its fundamentals. The body has three sources of energy from which it draws to meet its metabolic needs:

  • Carbohydrates
  • Protein, 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, we limit carbohydrate intake to encourage the body to turn to its fat and muscle 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.

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Protocol is not a high-protein diet. It simply offers a variety of good, quality, protein-based foods that are easily assimilated.
