The 3 Phases

There are three distinct phases of the Ideal Protein protocol. Each step is designed to help you with your weight loss goals and build a healthier life.

1. Reset your body. Burn fat. Lose weight.

• Restrict the intake of carbohydrates
• Maximize fat loss via ketosis (a natural way to safely burn fat stores in the body for energy)
• Preserve muscle mass
• Continue losing weight until you reach your goals and move into phase 2
• The length of time for this phase depends on your weight goals and overall health

2. Reset your mind. Healthy weight maintenance. Develop healthy habits.

• Maintain weight loss with proper nutrition adjustments
• Inhibit the body’s signals to regain weight following restriction
• Learn to appropriately manage your hunger
• Recognize both hunger and satiety cues
• Receive dynamic support throughout the process to maximize the benefits of weight loss while reintroducing foods that were restricted in phase 1
• This phase is typically around 2 months long

3. Reset what’s possible. Live your best healthiest life. Thrive!

• Continued support and education from your Ideal Protein clinic and coach
• Schedule regular check ins with your coach (at least 2 semi-annual tune-ups are highly recommended)
• Keep yourself accountable by staying in touch with your coach
• Reap the benefits of a life filled with potential to do what you love most
• No longer let your weight or energy levels affect your quality of life
