I had gastric bypass in 2008 and lost 170lbs and I try to maintain my weight by exercising and eating right!

After battling my weight all of my life and slaving away in the gym all summer (only to lose 11 lbs), I'd had it. I was desperate. Because of all the extra weight, I was constantly injuring myself while working out. I decided to seek alternative treatment for said injuries since painkillers do nothing. I was referred to a progressive chiropractic practice close to where I live. While being treated for injuries, I was noticing people of all shapes and sizes going into this cabinet where all the IP food was stored. I was hearing a comment here and there from a staff member to a patient about how great they looked and a general marveling at how much weight they'd lost and how quickly. I'd heard of IP two years ago and had gone to a different licensed clinic but was talked out of IP and into a far more expensive weight loss plan...except it wasn't really a weight loss plan. This plan involved cutting out gluten and dairy while doing brain exercises and taking scary sounding, expensive supplements. And it cost me almost $4k. I was one of those suckers you've heard about. Fast forward two years, still over 300 lbs, blood pressure rising, and miserable. I was ready for IP. I feel like my body has been waiting for this for a very long time. For the first time, something clicked inside me when I started last Thursday. It was kind of a rough first day, however. I wasn't sure I'd make it but I did and every day got a little easier. I had my first weigh-in last night and I am down 9.8 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM UNDER 300 LBS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER THREE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know its all water and carbs but whateves!!!! Its still amazeballs. I feel great and I wish I could shout it from the mountaintops that I love Dr. Tran!!

Started Ideal Protein 6/29

Like most moms, I've spent the past 20 years focusing on family and during that time I forgot to look after me. Both my girls are now in university and I realized that I need to be my priority for awhile. I started my Ideal Protein journey almost 2 months ago and can honestly say I have never felt better.

Started phase one of Ideal Protein due to prediabetes issues.

I've been on ideal protien for about 7 weeks and have lost 16 pounds so far.

I have been an Ideal Protein dieter for the past 18 months. I lost 65 pounds the first 9 months, then have maintained within 10 lbs for the other 9 months. I love the program and am constantly looking for recipes that are "IP friendly." Thanks for all of your help with this!!

I'm 73 years young, I was overweight from limited mobility( result of car accident) I developed diabetes type 2, blood pressure soared. My chiropractor had a workshop about Ideal Protein Diet, he recently hired a charming Nutritionist, Cathy, she explained it to me. She guides me thru it ,I'm losing weight , blood pressure is down, sugar is better. I recommend this diet to anyone with similar problems.

Like the science behind this. Have high hopes that this will work.
