Retraining through Education

It is our pleasure to introduce you to the Ideal Protein treatment and protocol for health and weight loss.  It was developed 25 years ago by an award winning nutrition company and Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, a European-Asian Medical Doctor with a PhD in nutrition, sports medicine and biology. This is a 4-stage retraining eating treatment that helps stabilize the pancreas and blood sugar levels while burning fat and maintaining muscle and other lean tissue. This 4-stage treatment is for long-term health promotion and weight control, not a “diet” that leaves participants with the “Now what?” question after weight has been lost.

 

Treatment vs. Diet

I

Treatment has a beginning and an end.  This puts you on a treatment plan to a healthy lifestyle and normal
eating within the best time frame for your particular body.

 

Syndrome X

I

The treatment targets prevention and solutions for Syndrome X, also called the “metabolic syndrome.” 
To qualify as part of this epidemic that is steamrolling North America, adults or
children need only suffer from two of the four components of the metabolic syndrome:

1) obesity

2) blood sugar issues (diabetes)

3) cholesterol problems

4) high blood pressure

 

Developed for Athletes

The treatment was originally developed to secure the muscle mass of high-performance athletes and
regulate their insulin levels. Dr. Tran improved the protein source of the original “protein diet” originated in 1973
by Dr. Blackburn, a Harvard University professor. Dr. Tran used this approach with athletes in Europe for over
eighteen years, also targeting energy and good, safe nutrition.

The Ideal Protein Treatment is focused on the pancreas, insulin production, and stabilizing and maintaining weight loss long-term.
Ideal’s program engine is an alkalized and mineralized program made of four distinctive nutritional supplements.

 

Only Available Thru Trained Professionals
This ideal treatment is only available through trained and certified weight control professionals and utilizes natural
health experts to facilitate success for even the most frustrated dieter who has “tried everything” or others troubled
with blood sugar challenges. Each Ideal Protein facility has one or more experts to guide the dieter through the treatment.
This valuable process serves to educate and encourage the dieters with a consistent method that is scientifically proven
and deemed by most as easy to execute and maintain.

Supplementation
Supplementation is crucial to your success since you will be missing out on some important fats and other nutrients
during this treatment period.
The Ideal expert works with your dieter’s profile (that you will fill out) to assist you in selecting
the proper supple­mentation for your specific issues (e.g. food allergies, digestive issues, toxicity of the liver or kidneys).
The coach will encourage you to consult with your health care provider regarding any such issues.

Nutritional Supplements
Vitamins – The ideal combination of all essential vitamins and minerals to fulfill 100% of normal daily needs.

Calcium, Magnesium & Potassium– Crucial and alkalizing minerals missing in the treatment steps 1 and 2,
helps move bowels, relax muscles, nourish nervous system, and much more.

Omega Fish Oils – An excellent source of good fats, crucial for weight loss, cell membranes for
being able to handle the insulin, hormones, the brain, and good health.

Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics – For some people these may be a crucial addition to stage 1.
They aid in digestion, assimilation, and elimination, providing significant benefit.

The Four Stages
The Ideal Protein treatment allows you to lose weight with minimal effort compared to most other diets that require buying
all sorts of different foods and ingredients and following complicated recipes. With the convenience of Ideal Protein
instant packets, you have the option of keeping it very simple… or you may get creative if you like. Recipes are available.

Stage 1: You start out using a packet as the basis of three of your four meals each day -
you follow this until you have reached 90% of your weight loss goal.

Stage 2: You reduce the Ideal foods to two per day and continue the Ideal treatment until you’ve reached 100% of your goal.

Stage 3: For weight loss stabilization, you will re-introduce moderate amounts of fats and carbohydrates
to your diet for 14 days. You only have one Ideal packet per day with two other regular meals.

Stage 4: You continue to eat the way you have by this time learned to eat by choosing healthy
foods and the right combinations of foods.

All the details are spelled out clearly in our Ideal Protein brochure.

Balanced Diet
The Ideal Protein Treatment is nothing like the typical diet that offers packaged foods. Ideal’s instant packets are NOT
the common meal replacements that contain a so-called “balance” of carbohydrates, fats and protein. Consuming
carbohydrates promotes insulin production thereby promoting fat storage. For a balanced diet, consuming fats is very important,
but for FAT LOSS, one must eliminate most fat from the diet for the initial stage of the treatment. Eating a “balanced diet”
prevents the proper set up of the fat loss process in the body. One of the goals of the Ideal  Protein treatment is to cause
the body to delve into its energy reserves-into stored fat-for its energy, thereby facilitating FAT LOSS.

Additionally, by virtually eliminating all highly refined sugars and starches from your diet, the pancreas is afforded
a rest since there is no need for it to produce much insulin, which happens to be its main function.

The Pancreas
Whether or not the pancreas is working properly partly deter­mines one’s predisposition to gain or not to gain weight.
Clinical research has shown that a dysfunctional pancreas is often a key reason many people have difficulty losing weight.
A properly functioning pancreas is essential to good health and healthy weight loss. A properly functioning pancreas
produces the right amount of insulin necessary to regulate our blood sugar levels (or glycemia).
The Ideal Protein diet is a
short-term “retraining” treatment for the pancreas as well as a treatment for fat loss.

How it Works
The typical American diet consisting of processed foods - sugars and starches such as bread, pasta, potatoes,
snacks and sweets, etc. - overworks the pancreas. The pancreas must con­stantly pump out insulin to take care of
all the sugar (or glucose) that makes up these foods. Realize that a slice of bread is nothing but simple sugar; the same is true for potatoes, pasta, white rice and all other processed “white” foods, including breakfast cereals. Example: One slice of bread
has 21g of carbs, which equals 5 teaspoons of sugar.

It is important to understand that the minute carbohydrates are consumed, they are broken down into glucose in the bloodstream,
and then whatever is not needed immediately for energy is swooped up by insulin, converted into fat and stored. Since it is the
job of the pancreas to produce the insulin necessary to remove glucose from the bloodstream (and store it as fat), eating a high-carbohydrate diet causes the pancreas to work overtime, to eventually become worn out or dysfunctional.

A dysfunctional pancreas produces excess insulin, resulting in a drastic drop in the blood sugar level (hypoglycemia),
thereby leading to cravings of more sugar. Then, more sugar is consumed and the cycle starts over. Remember, i
nsulin is the fat storage hormone
-the hormone that converts the foods you’ve consumed into stored fat. Consequently,
an overproduction of insulin leads to excess fat storage. 

The body gets its fuel or energy from the three macronutrient sources: 1) carbohydrates, 2) protein, and 3) fat.
The carbo­hydrate or glycogen energy reserves are used up first, followed by our protein and fat reserves.
Glycogen is the form in which glucose is stored in the muscles and the liver.

After approximately three days on the Ideal Protein program, your glycogen reserves are depleted and your body begins
to burn your stored fat cells for energy naturally. This results in your body producing ketonic bodies (ketones) that are a natural appetite suppressant thus preventing cravings after the first few days and providing you with energy. You will start losing
weight-or fat-as soon as fat becomes your first source of energy. You will then burn fat while nourishing muscle with the
high-quality, highly-absorbable Ideal foods containing the nine essential amino acids that you consume throughout the day.
Remember, muscle is the engine that burns calories every minute of every day, and by supplying your diet with this
essential protein, you ensure that your muscle is not used significantly for energy.

During this time you will also reset your pancreas by giving it a much-needed rest. A properly functioning pancreas is the key to avoiding filling up your fat reserves once you have completed the “retraining” period and you return to more normal eating. 

It is well known that there are certain foods, as well as certain bad eating habits, that cause weight gain and there are other
foods and eating habits that prevent weight loss. The Ideal Protein treatment will guide you and support you in your quest to
lose fat safely by helping you understand the difference between “eating a balanced diet” and “eating for weight loss”.
And most importantly, upon reaching the final stage, you will also have learned to use the right combinations of foods
within each meal to maintain your weight loss permanently.

Quick Results
Although dieters are warned that the first 3 days of the sugar withdrawals can be quite tough, the small percentage that
experience problems almost always hang in there for amazing results starting on day 4. Most commonly, dieters tell us about:

•     Improved energy and reduced cravings, usually on the 4th or 5th day

•     Dramatically improved blood sugar for the sugar-challenged, often within the first week

•     Elated joy and pride early in the process

•     Attainment of their goal weightMaintaining their goal weight, even after extended vacations from the diet

What to Expect
Based on over 25 years of experience and 6 million people in Europe, Canada,
and now a fast-growing number of  people in the United States, the Program enables the following:

•     Quick weight loss without sacrificing muscle mass

•     Gaining an understanding of how food affects and is utilized by the body, including what causes fat storage

•     Utilization of fat for energy usually by day 4-fat (including cellulite) that sequesters chemical toxins

•     Improved energy and appetite control, reduced cravings-usually on day 4 or 5

•     Improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reduced blood pressure

Proteins
The Ideal Protein instant packets contain the highest-quality proteins and are low in carbohydrates and fat
with no trans fats, no aspartame and are MSG-free. Protein is the main building block in the body,
is the primary component of most cells, and is essential to human life. Every cell in the body has it,
including skin, hair, bones, muscle and organ tissue. It is found in the bloodstream, in hormones and in enzymes. 

During digestion, protein is metabolized into amino acids, the building blocks of protein. The body uses amino acids for
energy as well as to produce enzymes and other essential proteins. The body synthesizes some amino acids but it
cannot synthesize (or produce) the “essential” amino acids. These essential amino acids must be consumed in the daily diet,
and are found in all of the Ideal Protein foods.

Improve Your Health
With the Ideal Protein treatment, you will not only rediscover your ideal shape, but you will also significantly
improve your health
. The treatment is designed to work with Ideal Protein’s high-quality nutritional supple­ments,
a unique combination that guarantees safe and healthy weight loss. These supplements are designed to
ensure a nutri­tionally comprehensive weight loss treatment.

Inspirational mother to Debe Haller and Tami Reese

Wilma Mellin Dec 1991.jpg


Born during the depression, Wilma was a middle
child raised by a loving single-mother who worked
hard to keep food on the table.  


Wilma’s passion for motherhood and homemaking paralleled
 her steadfast commitment to inner and outer beauty.


Her faithful attention to care for her health resulted in
the early diagnosis of multiple myeloma in 2000.  
Given a prognosis of three to five years,
she tenaciously survived with graciousness for ten years.

Although she lived with a rare heart condition since childhood,
and battled cancer the last ten years of her life,
never once did she remove the rose-colored glasses
through which she cheerfully viewed life.

We miss her dearly and will personally and professionally
 pursue and promote health to honor her memory.
