Wow! What an ignorant article. Clearly the irrisponsilbe individual that wrote it has no idea what he or she is talking about and is more interested in sounding pompous. Just read the posts before passing judgement! You could be putting people’s health and welfare into jeopardy by making false claims, as your science is clearly flawed. To begin with this is NOT a high protein diet, it is a SUFFICIENT protein diet. Secondly, carbs are allowed but they are limited so as to promote a state of MILD ketosis. The article confuses KETOACIDOSIS with being in ketosis, which is a typical novice mistake. Check your facts before spewing nonsense, and hopefully a morbidly obese person who was thinking of joining this program and making it to a ripe old age will not be dissuaded from it due to your stupid rantings.

That is funny Rick.

For the author:

Your knowledge is limited and you should be more responsible with your writing. In a society where there is an obesity epidemic, this program is changing lives. Lowering LDL cholesterol, tryglicerides, high blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and abdominal fat is nothing to shake a stick at. This is a protocol that anyone could use to live a long healthy life and perhaps hand down good eating habits to the next generation. No, you can’t die from following it correctly. Expensive….maybe. But my health is priceless. In the past, I have spent more $$ in eating unhealthy at over-priced restaurants than what it costs to be on the program per week.

“When the body breaks down protein to make glucose it doesn’t just take it from muscle, it takes it from all lean body tissue- all muscle AND organs like the liver, kidney, and heart. So, on a low carb high protein diet plan you actually stimulate your body and breakdown the organs that keep the body running. By the way, after 50% loss of lean body tissue, you die.”

This is why our paleolithic ancestors died off long ago for lack of bread and sugar and further confirms the Idea that humans were put here by aliens. Seriously I have been on a high protein low (glycemic) carb diet for a year now and have lost 35 lbs and gained muscle.also I have just had blood work done and at 52 my hormone levels are like that of a 20-30 year old. I personally would not purchase a diet plan just eliminate high glycemic or processed carbs eat plenty of protein, good fats (including good saturated fats like coconut oil) and thermogenic vegetables (none starch) remember there are 8 essential amino acids, 3 essential fatty acids but there are no essential carbs.

I have been on IP before and it works for weight loss. You also benefit from giving the pancreas a break from releasing insulin (which is great for diabetics, they actually get to stop taking meds, and in turns lowers blood pressure, which many people also stop taking pills for.) Insulin is a “fat hormone” that helps retain excess calories to preserve the body during times of starvation. Which is not the case these days, we have an overbundance of food. It is they way are bodies are programmed to behave from waaay back. There is no fighting Mother Nature! You really have to see to believe, and I am thinking of opening a clinic myself! As for the cost. How much is your health worth? And you won’t be buying regular groceries for yourself.

On Jan 9/12, I started Ideal Protein for the 2nd time – with my daughter inspiring me with her over 40 lb. loss of weight so far (she started in early Dec/11). I have lost 27 pounds so far and hope to lose another 3 lbs. by next Friday, which will 30 lbs. in 2 months. I started at 242 lbs. and am now at 215 lbs! So excited – haven’t been down here for several years! My next goal is 200 lbs., then under 200 lbs., then to 170 lbs. which is what I was in high school (I am a 66 year old grandmother of 10, and 5’8″ tall). I have had a weight problem since puberty and I played every sport I could in school, especially volleyball from grade 5 to grade 12, so I was no couch potato. After I finished menopause at age 53, every carbohydrate I ate went straight to fat (pancreas). Now, every pound I lose I can feel how much better my arthritic knees feel. I am off my acid-reflux medication (Nexium – which is very expensive) and have much more energy. I adhere to Ideal Protein very closely and am not hungry, don’t have chocoholic cravings because I make “hot chocolate” twice a day using the chocolate shake and feel great!! I am sleeping much better, don’t wake up with aches and pains at all, can walk down the stairs first thing in the morning without placing both feet on the same stair tread because my knees are stiff, and one of the best results of the Ideal Program way of eating is that my complexion is SO much better because my digestive system isn’t pissed off at me for mixing my foods (carbs and proteins)!! Yes, the Ideal Protein food is expensive, but I think my health is worth it. I just heard recently that if you get a note from your doctor referring you to this diet where a loss of weight is needed for your good health, then you can declare your I.P. receipts as a medical expense on your income tax here in Canada. I haven’t confirmed this with my accountant but I am going to try. I have “dieted” since I was a teenager, and every diet I tried, the weight went right back on plus more. I feel that with this way of eating, I will stick with it for the rest of my life, and I think I will be having at least 2 packs of my I.P. “hot chocolate” forever, as that is my unguilty pleasure!!

I did the Ideal Protein Diet one year ago. Lost 50 pounds plus a chronic foot pain. Got off two of my meds. Got my husband to do it and he took his cholesterol levels back to below normal and now he does not have to take statines (which are carcinogenic) and we are both one year post-diet. We have been overeating and in a very cold environment with little exercise, and none of us has gained more than 5 pounds in this year.

It is not realistic to think that once you finish a diet you can eat yourself stupid for life and not gain weight, and yet, with other diets I have lost little weight and then regained it and some. This does not happen with IP. Everybody I recommended it to have had a great success and are much healthier and energetic.

ARTICLES LIKE THIS ARE NORMALLY WRITTEN BY COMPETITOR COMPANIES AND ARE NOT TRUE TO THE FACTS. THE CANADIAN ARMY ARE USING IP TO DEAL WITH THEIR OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE.

IP does not offer a high level of protein, plus it offers it in an attractive variety that makes it more doable for dieters, since you fell you are not eating the proverbial steak and salad every day.

The first days are horrible, indeed, because your body is accustomed to take energy from carbs, which is a very easy eat-and-burn process, whereas on IP, it has to resource to your fat deposits to function and the change is not easy. IP builds up muscle and does not leave you flabby or stretch-marked when you are done.

If you are considering weight loss, plunge in Ideal Protein without reservations. I know of nobody for whom this system failed. Plus it is not expensive. When you crunch the numbers, it is cheaper than eating at McDonald’s, that is without keeping in mind all the sweets, treats and cheezies you used to indulge in.

Good luck and be gorgeous this summer.

I love the IP diet. I have been on it for 2 weeks and have lost 11 lbs. The only thing that I struggle with is the fact that I can’t exercise very hard. I’m afraid if I exercise to much it will hurt the diet process, anyone out there have any tips or experience with this?

This food plan (I refuse to use the ‘d’ word) is supported by my local medical clinic. Before offering it to any of their patients, several dozen doctors, nurses, office people, etc. went on the plan to check it out. After 6 months, they offered it to the rest of us. I am Type 2 diabetic. My doctor told me this program was safe for me to do. I was on 2 kinds of insulin plus pills. In just 4 weeks, my blood sugars have been lowered so much that I am now OFF one of the insulins completely, and am down 10 units on the other one. I am averaging a loss of 3 lbs. a week, which is fine with me. The food is, I think, quite tasty, easy to prepare, and there is great variety. You don’t eat just the pre-packaged food, you also eat meat, eggs, veggies, and various supplements. (No fruit, bread or dairy at first, and I do miss that, but it’s not forever.) You also drink lots of water but that’s easy–I just add a little lemon juice for flavor. Yes, this program costs but so does WW (which I have done twice), NutraSystem (which I tried once but couldn’t stand the food), and eating, period. I figure that if I can cut down or cut out some of my meds, that will be a savings. The website has a lot of information. I am 65 and I have been fat for 30 years. For me it’s not about what size I may become, but more about feeling good, having energy, and getting down/off meds.
