Principles Behind the Protocol
Learn to live off of the body's
own fat reserves.
The body employs energy from three reserves: glycogen (carbohydrate), protein
and fats. First from it’s 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 muscle 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 muscle 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 them 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 I diabetics, adolescents and children.
Ideal Protein Is Only Available Through Health
Professionals.
The Ideal weight loss program is
only available through trained and certified weight control professionals and
utilizes natural health experts to facilitate success for even the most
frustrated dieter that has "tried everything" or some troubled with
blood sugar challenges. This valuable process serves to educate and encourage
the dieters with a consistent method that is scientifically proven and deemed
by most as easy to execute and maintain.
Developed for Athletes
The plan was originally developed
to secure the muscle mass of high-performance athletes and regulate their
insulin levels. Dr. Tran improved the protein source of the original
"protein diet" originated in 1973 by Dr. Blackburn, a
The Ideal Protein diet
plan is focused on the pancreas, insulin production, and stabilizing and
maintaining weight loss long-term. Ideal’s treatment engine is an alkalized and
mineralized program made of 4 distinctive nutritional supplements.
Quick Results
Although dieters are advised that
the first 3 days of the sugar withdrawals can be challenging, the small
percentage that experience problems almost always hang in there for amazing
results starting on day 4. Most commonly, dieters tell us about:
• Improved energy and
reduced cravings, usually on day 4 or 5
• Dramatically improved
blood sugar for the sugar-challenged, often within the first week
• Elated joy and pride
early in the process
• Attainment of their
goal weight
• Maintaining their goal weight, even after extended vacations from the diet
