Principles Behind the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method
Developed in France 25 years ago, this weight loss program helps your body to learn to live off of it's own fat reserves. The body employs energy from three reserves glycogen (carbohydrates), protein and fats. First from it's simple and complex carbohydrate reserves and when depleted, turns to its protein and fat reserves for energy.
Simple and complex carbohydrates can prevent weight loss. The body stores approximately three days worth of carbohydrates. Because of this, the weight loss diet has a beginning and an end. Until 100% of the weight loss goal is achieved, we restrict sugars (simple and complex carbohydrates). 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 reserves 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, and are 97% absorbable, making them biologically-complete proteins. Second, by augmenting with nutrient-rich supplements such as Multi-Vita, Calcium & Magnesium and Potassium Citrate, key ingredients in muscle building and electrolytes, to replace those normally found in foods restricted on this weight loss protocol. Given the body’s natural ability to heal itself and showcase its innate and ingenious powers, a dieter on the protocol will feel energized, look vibrant, and feel strong.

Ideal Protein-Rich Foods That Taste Delicious!
The centerpiece of our protocol is our gourmet, Ideal Protein foods, which the dieter consumes during the weight loss phases of the diet. The high biological value proteins that come from five different sources: whey isolates, soy isolates, whole milk protein, albumin, and hydrolyzed collagen, give dieters many options, and is designed so that people with sensitivities to dairy or soy and vegetarians may participate in the program. The foods are delicious, practical, satisfying, and available in a wide array of textures and flavors that include crunchy, chewy, hearty, smooth, sweet, spicy, and salty foods. They can be served hot, warm, cold, or even frozen.
Dieters use these products to build complete meals, adding vegetables and salads. Each Ideal Protein food contains 20 grams of protein with very little, if any, fat or sugar. They are simple to prepare and are ideal for people that need to incorporate weight loss and health into a active lifestyle.
What It's Not
Our weight loss mehtod is NOT a no carb/high protein diet. Many protein-based diets are also high in saturated fats, which is taxing on the liver and the kidneys, whereas this ideal weight loss method provides just the right amount of the highest quality protein needed to protect and improve muscle mass and vital organs.
