At our IHC & Pharmacy, for our women and men clients, making an appointment with our provider is the first step. Seeing Dr Guehl or Jeff for our men; and Dr Kathy Nelson for our women, to sign up for the program, is the beginning point. The cost is $100 for this initial appointment where you will discuss individual goals, ask questions, receive your information packet and get your supplies and supplements, snacks and food choices for breakfast and lunch. Dinner consists of vegetables and good meat. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Protocol is a ketogenic program. Ketone strips are provided to check for ketosis through your urine.
You will return weekly for an appointment with our healthcare professional, who is your weight loss coach, to weigh-in and to be held accountable, get a Lipo B shot if desired ($25) to help energy and raise metabolism, and pick up another week of Ideal Protein food choices. Cost each week is $100 for this program. This cost is for the food. Your appointment with your health coach is free. The amount of money participants save at the grocery store will be used on Ideal Protein approved snacks, soups, breakfast choices etc. We have found that our clients save quite a lot of money on their food bill while on this program.
The average weight loss for men following this protocol is 3-4 pounds a week and for women, the weight loss is 2-3 pounds a week. You will move through 4 different phases from weight loss through maintenance. We like to begin the program with a good detox program called "Core Restore." This detox works on the liver to help remove the toxins from the fat cells so successful weight loss will occur through-out the program. The amount of time spent on each phase depends on how much weight you want to lose. The goal of this program is healthy weight loss where fat is lost, yet not at the expense of lean muscle mass. Exercise, or even better, working with a personal trainer, is encouraged. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Program, coupled with this type of personal training geared to each individual, where safety to prevent injury and customized exercise to help each client reach individual goals proves highly successful.
