On journey to reclaim my zest for life. I got too insulated from the world by eating. I was and still am too heavy. I have lost 36 pounds as of January 11, 2016. I started November 4th 2015. Would love to get to 180. My coach says I'll make it to 150!!!
I'll be happy being one hundred something.

I was on ideal protein about 4 years ago. It was very successful, but I didn't come off it properly. Over the next year I gained half the weight back. I was wondering if you sell ideal protein products. When I was on it before, the closest dealer was in west lock.

I have tried many diets over the years and nothing has worked. I couldn't stomach the meal replacements or highly restricted food lists. I have been on Ideal Protein for a week and I'm am falling in love with food again. So far, my favorite meals are the omelets and the broccoli and cheese soup. I finally feel like there is hope. My plan is to take off 100 lbs, stop taking blood pressure medicine, and stop myself from flowing a path straight to diabetes.

Struggling with my weight during my adult life, It seemed I tried every diet. I was successful at times and some times I wasn’t. In 2014, a friend of mine was starting on the Ideal Protein Protocol. I was skeptical and decided to take a wait and watch approach. Over the next few months, I could see results and major accomplishments with her weight loss.

I decided that I needed to try the Ideal Protein Protocol to see if I could get the same results. I started early in 2015 and within 2 weeks of trying the protocol, I knew that I had to open a clinic to help others with weight and health issues associated with Metabolic Syndrome. I opened in a small office space April 23, 2015 and reached out to friends and family.

Soon the results of my first clients were showing around town. Referrals began to come in and we started to grow! My career path started when I was 16 years old as a lifeguard. To add to my roles of mom and business owner, I am active in many areas of the community and I remain working with our other business Advanced Paramedic Limited as an EMT. I am rewarded by helping people during times of need.

I have always been a big girl. I have tried many diets. I have also tried isagenix which was great but expensive. I have low self esteem and hate what I see when I look in the mirror.

I was in a car accident 2 years that I'm still healing from. 6 months ago I needed back surgery as a result and zero activity coupled with wine makes for a terrible diet program. So here I am.

After not doing much cooking for years, skipping meals and then menopause I found myself with a 40 lb weight gain over a period of 8 years. I had a moment of realization after stepping on the scale in October and am proud to say with the help of IP I am down 17 lbs!! I'm cooking again, eating again and not letting menopause stand in my way. I really need some help with planning tasty IP compliant protein meals. So happy to have found this site!

I've been over weight since the birth of my first child twenty five years ago. Dieting is always something that I'm trying. I usually last up to 30 days lose some weight it not enough then boom back to what I was and heavier. I recently was told about the ideal protein diet and since I have googled many sites looking to see if it's another diet I will fail or if I will like the foods I'm making and FINALLY be able to stick with this. I guess I'm weighing my options.

Struggled with my weight since about age 45- I stopped smoking, had a stressful career- I'm now newly retired and want to eat and stay healthy. I have done IP. Before, but regained it all back. I have 30 lbs to lose that should put my body fat below 30.

My original weight was 228 lbs. With the Ideal Protein Diet I lost58 lbs in about a year. I went off the diet and my weight has ballooned to 222lbs. Back again.
The most difficult part is that I am a vegetarian.

Whew ... where to start. I've been struggling with weight, and later Type 2 diabetes, most of my life. I'm getting married in April 2017, to a wonderful man. In a previous (horrible) relationship, my then partner was arguing with me about getting married. (He managed to string me along for 9 years until I realized he actually never wanted to get married, and when I started defending myself, he decided to move across the country ... it's a long, sad, somewhat embarrassing story.) Anyway, at one point he was getting upset that I was asking him more directly about when we were going to get married, and he said "what? do you really want to be a fat bride?" You'd think that would have tipped me off that he was unsuitable for a relationship. The main thing is though that I realized I don't want to be overweight at my wedding. I don't want to be overweight at all. I'm tired of taking diabetes medications. I'm tired of feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. So, I started Ideal Protein last Sunday, 13 Nov. 2016. I am feeling really good.

I started this journey about 9 months ago when my neurologist recommended I significantly reduce my sugar intake to try to control my migraines. As my migraines had progressively become worse, I was willing to try anything, including giving up my beloved sugar. As of today I have lost my migraines as well as 90 pounds and 45 inches!

I fought with my weight most of my life, especially after I had my 3 beautiful children. After trying every diet known to man I was introduced to ideal protein and within 4 months I had lost 46 lbs. I was feeling fabulous! Then life interfered as life does. I am still working to get control of my life and food but I now have a program and a coach that works to better me. Thank you Ideal Protein.

I signed up with Ideal Protein in February 2013, lost 18 pounds and have been very successful to keep it off. I gained a few pounds back this summer so am going to get right back at it to take those pounds off. This site with these great recipes will be a great help. This is the only diet ever, that I have had such great success.......LOVE it!! Having a great coach is also a huge help and I have the greatest!

I gained a lot of weight after a car accident that fractured my neck in 3 places. Luckily I was not paralyzed and I'm grateful everyday for that. Before my accident I was in amazing shape. I worked out all the time. Ate well. I felt good and looked fantastic. After my accident I gained about 50lbs over the course of 2 or 3 years. It sucked and I really struggled with my self esteem and image. Few years later my Fiancée and I had a baby boy and to my amazement I LOST all my baby weight in a matter of a few weeks and actually weighed less that I did before I got pregnant. I was so happy and couldn't believe it but the scale still read 185 so I felt better, but not great. Once I stopped breast feeding the weight came back, and quickly. Within 2 months I was back up to 205lbs. I felt horrible and I was angry with myself. My mom introduced me to Ideal Protein a few years ago but I didn't take it seriously. A dear friend of hers own the clinics and helped encourage me to get back into it to lose the weight I've been wanting to lose so bad and get me back to my goal of 160lbs, in preparation of my upcoming wedding in 3 months!!! I've been at it for 3 weeks now and (my next weigh in is tomorrow) so far I've lost 10lbs and 8inches overall. I've lost 2% of my body weight already, not including what I find out I've lost tomorrow :)

I just started the Ideal protein this week thru my doctors office. My doctor highly recommended this diet, he has lost over 45 pounds. So after asking a million questions, I made my first appointment this past Monday....but didnt start until Tuesday this week. I have been struggling for years to lose weight.
wow 18 weeks on Ideal Protein Lifestyle and I have lost 65 lbs. I feel amazing.....I've met my first goal. Now working towards my final goal!
It's been just over a year since I've started Ideal Protein. I'm now down 125 lbs and just 10 lbs from my final goal weight. I have learned so much about me, food and labels. I look forward to maintaining my new lifestyle. I will never go back to my old habits, it's just not worth it my health!

I've slowly gained weight over the last 10 years. I have tried a few other diets with little or no success, so I was a little skeptical about Ideal Protein. I'm finding this diet very easy to follow and am so excited for my journey. Glad I found this website!

I have battled with weight for many years and I have tried every diet that has ever been written but was unsuccessful. My sister in law introduced me to the Ideal Protein Eating Plan 5 yrs ago in the USA . It has finally arrived in Australia and I am so excited to have commenced the program. I am in 3rd day Ketosis but doing well. I love the products but especially the recipes.

I was on the IP program last year and lost 26 lbs in 13 weeks! Since then, I did not follow any of the phase 4 rules and gained 15 lbs back, sooooo, I'm back on the program, for different reasons, with different goals, and a different attitude. Just looking for some cool recipes for phase 1 to make it a bit more exciting.....

I've always been up and down with my weight, but mostly up. After getting married and going through some challenging times I gained 50lbs in 3 years I kept saying I wouldn't gain any more and this was it; but then I would pass that number. Now that we want to start a family, I want to be at my best. This is one of the first steps.

Felt a bit desperate as my eating was excalating out of control. Gained 30 pounds the last three years and my self esteem was low and also worried about my health. I signed up for the program 6 days ago and feel so much better already. Some people say it is expensive but I looked at how much I was spending on fast food and eating out and it was more. I hope this is my last diet. I'm 60 and have struggled with my wieght for most of it. I'd love to live the rest of my life finally at my goal wieght of 135. I weighed in at 194 on Saturday.

I am a diabetic. I went in for my routine A1C check and my sugar level was above 8. My doctor said to me to either get on this diet or change my medication. My father was a diabetic and I watched him deteriorate over time until he passed away at 76 with kidney disease. I didn't want to follow my dad's footsteps so I decided to take charge of my health. I got on Ideal Protein and in 2 months lost 18 lbs (my goal weight) and my blood sugars are down to 6.2! My doctor and I can't be happier. My goal is to get off medication so my journey continues.

I'm 47 and my husband and I started on the Ideal Protein plan on August 23. Between the 2 of us we have lost 55 lbs. He is on Phase 3 and I have 4 more lbs to go. This has been the easiest plan we've ever followed but it also helps to have someone doing it with you! We feel great and keep saying "we're never going back to the way we were before!"

I have struggled with my weight since my mid twenties. I turned 50 and decided to get control of my weight. I have been on the Ideal Protein diet for a week and a half and I am really happy with it. I have not been hungry and feel really good.

Update since this post I have lost 65 pounds on Ideal Protein. I took the summer off and on back on to hopefully lose 35 more :-)

Throughout my adult life I have struggled with my weight as it slowly crept up through the years being exasperated by pregnancies, stressful career, and stressful family life. As a wife and mother I have put myself on the back burner trying to take care of the needs of other family members. The additional weight just added to my inherited health problems - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, osteoporosis and depression. I have tried weight watchers, American diabetes diet, exercise as well as others. All have worked to a point but really didn't help me keep the weight off. Time seemed to always be an issue. Ideal Protein is easy and works to get the weight off and then learning how to keep it off. Ideal Protein keeps me from being hungry and actually takes away the desire for carbs. My mind set has changed to the point that food has become necessary for health purposes but not a reward system. As the weight came off I began to feel better physically and mentally. I would continue to remind myself of that feeling when I was tempted to eat restricted food.
I have learned and now understand that caring for yourself is the same and just as important as caring for those around you.

I just joined ideal protein 5 weeks ago and simply enjoy it. I have a thyroid disease which for years it made it difficult for me to lose weight. Since I have been on this program I have lost over 10 pounds and 12 inches. I'm not big to begin with as my weight lost goal is going to be achieved within 3 weeks. I love the food in this diet and how it works. I have never been somebody to eat 3 meals a day therefore this diet has educated me on how much to eat. I love the support that I get from Marilyn she has been great and informative. Now I have encouraged friends and family to join this wonderful program as well and all of them have been successful so far as well. Good luck to everybody and if this is your first week do not discourage yourself it gets easier! Cheers!

As I jokingly say, i appear to be allergic to exercise. :-) I joined Ideal Protein January 5. I have lost around 10 pounds. I have not been overly hungry. Toughest part is eating all the vegetables.

I joined up with Ideal Protein as a dieter 2 years ago. After my 4th child I had put on 30 pounds. I tried boot camps and healthy eating and it just would not come off fast enough. Ideal Protein allowed me to lose 17 lbs in 5 weeks. During phase 4 I slowly lost another 13 lbs with excercise and eating healthy. Proud to say I have never gained any of that weight back. I now own and operate an Ideal Protein Clinic in Humboldt Sk.

Hello, I started IP on Jan 7, 2014. I am 54yrs old, 5'4" & weighed in at 210lbs.
On Aug 15, 2012 I horrifically broke my left ankle. It was so bad, I almost lost it. All from 1 step! I missed the bottom step at home. I also sprained my right ankle & left wrist. 4 surgeries, 6 months in a wheelchair & endless hours in rehab. My ankle will never be completely healed. It's still broken to this day.
We have determined that one of the reasons it was so horrific was because of my weight. I have tried WW, NutraSystem, Adkins & nutritionist in the past. Nothing worked very well or not at all. So when my Dr told me about IP I figured I give it a try. My husband is doing it with me & lost 60lbs in 3 months! He's now on maintenance. As for me, I've lost 50lbs in 5 1/2 months. I cheat a couple of times but have recommitted myself to loose another 40lbs, which will give me some wiggle room. I no longer need to take omeprazole or hydroclrithizide & I bet my triglycerides are normal. Can't wait till my Primary Care Dr sees me! Wish me luck!

After gaining over 30 plus pounds in less then 5 years, I felt horrible. My breaking point was when I had to go shopping for a dress for one of my daughters graduation. I found myself in all these different fitting rooms trying on dresses only to end up devastated that I couldn't find anything that fit me good enough to hide all the extra weight I had put on. That is when I decided that I needed to do something about it and to stop feeling sorry for myself. It was my unhealthy eating habits that got me to where I was and I needed to learn how to eat great nutritious meals. I am now down 34 lbs and 46 inches! I have gotten rid of all the excess weight and feel great!

I started Ideal Protein back in April 2012. I wanted/needed to lose about 15 pounds and just in time for my daughters high school graduation. I ended up losing 19 pounds in 8 weeks and loved the program. I am a very active person (curling, fastball, slopitch, golf) and I had a sports related injury in August 2013 which set me back for being as active as I wanted to be. This combined with a huge uprooting of my life (that same summer) with a move to a new city, searching for a new job, my second child leaving home after graduating & two destination weddings caused a lot of stress and bad eating habits. Also my age & hormones has definitely played a big factor in my weight gain so I knew I had to start 2015 off right and reset and get back on track. I started up again January 2015 and I have lost 14 pounds with 4 more to go! The program is working well and I have even referred a colleague on to it and she has lost 11.5 pounds in two weeks and is doing well on it too! I will aspire to watch my eating and alcohol consumption in the future as I know I feel so much better with this weight coming off and I will continue to keep it off!! :-)
