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.
