Been on ideal protein for 30 days and have lost 35 pounds and was not clinically obese just 6 feet and 215 pounds to begin. Had lost control of my blood sugar, cravings etc. First week was a little disconcerting but am more stable in energy and mood. There ARE carbs, just restricted to 10% daily allowance to force ketosis. Supplements and water prevent deleterious effects in the short term. The diet is basically what we were designed to eat and is analogous to what hunter/gatherers would eat. Five to eight grams of animal protein and 4cups of vegetables a day plus additional protein in soluble powder form (not great but palatable)! I notice the long knives come out for anything that is considered new- 20 plus years in Europe (ever see a plethora of fat Europeans). They know how to eat. The author above is just another unsubstantiated critic. Author clearly is ignorant of the program.

I have been on it about 4 months and lost 22 lbs so far. i have cheated so that is why I haven't lost as much as they say. I did in the first two weeks that I followed it. You have to finish all 4 phases before you can say it doesn't work. It has been working for my girl friend and myself. This is the first diet I have ever tried and i love it.

Unfortunately the minute you go off the diet (whether your cheating or following the maintenance program) you gain weight very rapidly. The only recourse is to stay on the diet. The maintenance plan they give you is very vague and I really believe thats its that way because the folks at Ideal Protein know how to lose weight but dont know how to maintain it. Everyone I have dieted with has gained their weight back. Also the diet is not always medically supervised. There are many Ideal Protein clinics out there run by non-medical people who have been on the diet and want to open a clinic themselves. Discerniblevim sounds like and Ideal Protein Clinic owner. His choice of wordsconvinces me that he is from Ideal Protein trying to defend the program. Its a great diet if you want to lose weight. But dont expect to keep it off.

I lost 20 lbs easily in about 5 weeks. I weened myself off the diet for the holidays so I would be able to enjoy Christmas and have a few alcoholic beverages (no alcohol on this diet). I was off the diet for about 3 weeks and only gained back 2 lbs. As long as you follow the food combining rules at the end of the program you shouldn't gain more the a couple of pounds. I am back on the diet starting Monday of this week and I have lost another 5 pounds already. I am very happy with this diet and after the first week I never felt hungry between meals.

It seems to work best for me if I stay on for 1.5 minutes only. I only take it down to 40 degrees or so- about the same amount of pressure as when I had traction theropy at the chiropractor. I am not completely pain-free but it is much much better than before and I have no pain at night. I use my inversion table every day. It seems to work best for me if I stay on for 1.5 minutes only.

There is carbs in it. They also supply the proper minerals to the dieters to prevent acidosis. The author of this blog doesn't fully understand the program. Ideal protein is not a high protein diet.

You need to ask how much this program provides and is it really high protein! If one is athletic the amount of protein intake increases in order to build muscle. 2) the program provides a protocol directed amount of protein, sugar free carbs and essential fatty acids. 3) 1 in 4 people suffer from metabolic syndrome-insulin resistance (some stats at 25% of population), precursor to type 2 diabetes and reason so many diets don't work for many people and they gain the weight back immediately after coming of other diets.. The Ideal Protein "program" uses a medically validated protocol to rest the pancreas and the receptors of the body's cells to re-program the body to produce and respond to insulin properly. 4) the ideal protein program is a medically validated program using specific nutritional protocol implemented over 4 phases. It includes packed foods, real foods (meat and vegetables), and one learns proper eating habits and the effects of various foods nutritional contribution to their weight management goals. 5) this program is monitored by a medical professional and implemented with a coach. My wife lost roughly 50 lbs, and came of medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and acid reflux totaling approx. $100 per month. Her internal medicine doctor monitored her over the program and has now referred several of her patients to the ideal protein program. There is a big difference between theory and practice ... this article is full of a lot of theory when it comes to the suggested implications. The article introduces correct physical and metabolic facts but in a deceptive order and suggesting implications that are not true. 1) it is not high protein. the body needs aprox. 1/2g of protein intake per pound of lean body mass (women) to maintain.

I have lost 30lbs. Today I went to my doctor for a unrealted matter and he was amazed. My blood presure was at the best level in the 3 years i have been going to him. My knees stopped hurting because of the excess weight and my energy level is fine. A friend of mine refered me to this diet. He is in phase 4. He lost 75 lbs and has never felt better. None of those things are a problem for me. I have been on ideal protein for 5 weeks. I have lost 30lbs. Today I went to my doctor for a unrealted matter and he was amazed.

They say that you will lose 3-5 lbs a week. This number is exaggerated. I mostly lose 2#'s a week. Once, I lost 3, another 4, but that only happened twice through this. Although I only had 26 #'s to lose, at the end of the 6th week, have lost 15 1/2 #'s. It is not exactly what they say, but I am losing slowly, which is better actually. It is very expensive! I got sick at the start of it due to lack of sodium. I never salted foods before and was using it very slight, so I had to increase that. I feel I have been sacrificing a lot to lose the small amount I do, so I have mixed feelings about it, because I am losing. I researched on-line and discovered that it is the same as a Bariatric diet. Those prices are a lot cheaper too. Probably 1/2 the cost. The Bariatric diet looks to be more of a balanced diet, where you can use Skim Milk, and eat fruit. With the Ideal Protein Diet, you eat their food and 4 cups of vegetables a day. They are very selective about which Vegetables you can eat too. So I will finish this expensive diet out since I only have 10 more #'s to lose, but from that point on I will use the Bariatric food & diet when I need to. I do love the way my clothes fit now, my stomach has gone down alot, this is my trouble spot, and I also did this to help lower my slightly high cholesterol & BP. You have to be 100 % dedicated and disciplined to be successful with this diet. I have just completed my 6th week of the Ideal Protein Diet. They say that you will lose 3-5 lbs a week.

But, in a class I took on doing research, I was warned to stay away from articles without credentials, or name of the author, or a way to contact the web host, or a date of the last update..... In short articles like the one you have written. You may be completely correct in your assumptions, but you need to give this article the bones it requires to be able to stand as a scientific paper, instead of an opinion.
