What is the Ideal Protein?
Thousands of
Worldwide Physicians and Clinics use the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method as a
tool to help people lose weight fast and keep it off. This method was initially developed by Dr.
Tran Tien Chanh, who dedicated his whole career to research of nutrition with a
particular emphasis on the treatment of obesity and health issues related to it.
The program
was developed to help dieters lose weight fast with ideal protein program and is designed in a way to limit carbohydrate
intake while providing a sufficient quantity of protein and micronutrients for
the body to encourage the body to use stored fats as fuel, similar to a savings
account.
Most people
don’t realize that both simple and complex carbohydrates can block weight loss.
The first source of energy for the body is obtained from glycogen (stored
sugars from carbohydrates) and in order to burn fat, it is necessary to deplete
the glycogen reserves entirely so that the body is forced to rely on burning its
own stored fat for energy. The term ketosis means that the body is using the stored
fat as fuel, which is why the Ideal Protein keto diet is so effective.
High-quality,
non-GMO, bioavailable proteins are the foundation of Ideal Protein foods. These
products are efficiently utilized by the human body to support metabolism, the
foundation of which is lean muscle-mass, ensuring that the body is able to
maintain efficient and calorie-burning abilities post-diet to keep you from
regaining the weight. Ideal Protein foods are available only through an authorized
center.
Ideal Protein Phase 1 Diet List
Phase 1 of
the diet is where people lose weight fast. In fact, you will stay on the phase
1 diet and phase 1 foods list until you reach your goal weight. During phase 1
you will consume 3-5 Ideal Protein foods each day. Most of these meals provide
20 grams of protein and less than 150 calories.
Along with
the 3-5 Ideal Protein foods, you will also consume real, whole foods following
a specific diet. In ketosis, there are no issues with hunger and for those that
are concerned about it, there are also specified vegetables from the list that
you can eat in unlimited quantities. For most dieters, it’s difficult for them
to eat all of their food.
Dieters are required to consume the following supplements in addition to their meals. These supplements
are designed to ensure the body obtains all the necessary vitamins and minerals
to support the bodily functions, energy levels and maximize weight loss. These
supplements may also onlybe purchased through authorized clinics or centers. The
Ideal Protein supplement protocol is as follows:
Breakfast: 1
multivitamin and 1 potassium supplement.
Snack: 2
calcium-magnesium supplements.
Dinner: 1
multivitamin, 2 calcium-magnesium supplements and 2 omega-3 supplements.
Once a day: 1/4 a teaspoon of Ideal Salt.
During the
first 2-3 weeks, exercise is generally not recommended, because the Ideal
Protein diet drastically reduces calorie intake, and it may cause unwanted side
effects as the body is adjusting to being in ketosis. In fact, that’s a benefit
of Ideal Protein – you lose weight fast but don’t need to exercise since the
body is already burning through it’s stored fat. Exercise at too high of an
intensity can actually stop you from losing weight.
Different
then the popular Keto diet, you have to reduce fat intake temporarily on the
Ideal Protein Diet. The reason is that your body will need to burn through all
of the fat you eat before it starts to burn the stored fat if your body. This
diet approaches ketosis differently, making it more effective at burning fat
and helping you lose weight fast.
The Ideal
Protein diet is based upon the science of lasting weight loss, applying the
principles of a Ketogenic Diet during phases 1 and 2 - alongside healthy lifestyle education.
What are the side effects of the Ideal Protein Diet?
Fatigue: It's obvious to always be aware of
any side effects and discomfort while implementing any dietary changes and to pay
attention to how that impacts the body. Your body must initially adjust to a
ketogenic state, rather than the Ideal Protein foods themselves. Mild symptoms
such as hunger, fatigue, and headaches are quickly resolved by minor adjustments
that your coach will make. During weight loss, the body release and eliminate the toxins from fat cells that the body stored from the previous foods you were eating before the Ideal Protein Diet.
Don't worry,
most side effects are very mild and typically only the first few days of your diet
and as you follow the Ideal Protein Meal Plan, these possible effects quickly
disappear as your body makes the
transformation to fat burning. These symptoms are typical of any Ketogenic
Diet, not just Ideal Protein
Hunger: If you are hungry, don’t worry –
it’s only for a short period of time as your body enters ketosis. Hunger can be
avoided by following the schedule of your Ideal Protein Meal Plan. You will
have more than enough meals and snack, as well as you can eat unlimited greens
and select vegetables. Most dieters report hunger is minimal and can be easily
eliminated by following the guidance of your coach.
On the Ideal
Protein diet, your total number of calories you’ll be eating will be limited
although once you go into ketosis, your body will have access to thousands of
calories in the form of stored fat. Once your body adapts to the change of
burning the fat stored in your body rather than the calories you eat, the
hunger disappears.
You may eat
up to 5 Ideal Protein foods (but only one restricted) if you feel hungry, it’ only
for the first few days. You can eat endless salads and greens during your diet,
which will add fiber to your diet and will help you feel full. By the fourth
day, your body should be in ketosis and the hunger will quickly disappear. If
you stick to the protocol, the hunger will not return. This is one reason that
cheating can be detrimental to fast fat loss, it means every time you cheat,
this period will start over.
Headaches: One of the side effects could be headaches as you reduce the amount of sugar from your normal diet and transition into your
Ideal Protein Meal Plan. Headaches typically occur when insulin secretion is
abruptly reduced. Again, this is the body adjusting to the elimination of the
foods that caused you to gain weight rather than coming from the Ideal Protein foods.
If you experience headaches, don’t worry as they will subside after the first
few days.
To get rid
of headaches, you can take 1/3 of a teaspoon of sea salt in 8 oz of water for the first few days. Headaches later in the protocol are caused by lack of water
and can be eliminated simply by making sure you get your enough water intake every day. Water will also help speed up the process and help you lose weight faster.
Nausea: Nausea is another side effect some
people feel for the first day or two after you start your Ideal Protein diet.
Especially if you normally skip breakfast, you may briefly experience mild nausea.
If that
happens, there are several light Ideal Protein foods such as the Cappuccino
Drink Mix or Chocolate Drink Mix, which may be easier to start. If you’re not used to having a big
breakfast, breakfast foods like the pancake or omelet may take a few days to
work up to.
Bad
Breath: A helpful side
effect of the Ideal Protein Diet as it indicates you are in ketosis. If you
have bad breath, Xylitol mints in limited quantities are allowed if you stay in
ketosis.
Constipation:
If you don’t drink
your water and eat your vegetables, you may experience this side effect. It can
be avoided by simply following the guidelines of the Ideal Protein diet plan
including all vegetables and a minimum of 64oz of water daily.
Low Blood
Sugar: Can be a more
common side effect for those with diabetes and insulin resistance. Eating
frequent snack will help alleviate this symptom.
Dizziness:
For those on blood
pressure medications or a history of high blood pressure (hypertension), it is
recommended to check your blood pressure daily and see your doctor if your BP
is consistently low. In addition to helping you lose weight fast; Ideal Protein
is an effective way to reverse high blood pressure. Those on medications will
typically need to have their prescribing physician lower their dose after just
2-3 weeks.
Those are
the typical Ideal Protein Diet side
effects. The good news is; they’re temporary and most can be avoided! Stick to
the protocol of the Ideal Protein Meal Plan, drink enough water, eat all your veggies, get your sea salt in and you shouldn’t experience any of these side effects
after the first few days, if at all.
