Like any other diet, yes.In the initial days, as you are changing your eating habit as well as your routine, you may experience discomfort, hunger, cravings, etc. (owed to keto flu). But worry not! Your Ideal Protein coach is just a text away to give you the right advice in such cases.
What is ketosis?
Ketosis is a state of body metabolism where your body burns fats (ketone bodies) as the primary source of energy instead of carbohydrates. Your body will be using your stored fat as the primary energy source.
Phase 1 of Ideal Protein puts your body into ketosis. The only difference is, here your body gets the optimal high-quality protein needed for maintaining lean mass and other nutrients essential for the body’s biochemical activities.

Provider Faq
Can I be on the Ideal Protein Diet while on Semaglutides (Ozempic, Wagovy, and Mounjaro)?
Yes. Ideal Protein is the perfect program for those taking Semaglutides for weight loss. Patients on these medications have great results and are encouraged to maintain hydration, which can be more challenging if the patient experiences nausea or vomiting from these medications.
Ideal protein is the perfect complimentary protocol for those who have reached their goal and do not want to continue taking the medications long-term.
Is the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method safe for people on blood pressure and fluid medication?
Yes. People with high blood pressure are often overweight and will benefit from the protocol. However, they will have to be mindful of their medication dosing and will be required to monitor their blood pressure twice daily and work with their physician to monitor their prescriptions. Additionally, they may need to monitor salt intake, as prescribed by their physician.
Is the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method safe for Diabetics, Type I and Type II, as well as for hypoglycemic (low blood sugar)?
Diabetics have so much to gain from our protocol because regulating glycemia is at the very heart of our method. While we cannot reverse
- Type I Diabetes, we can help those afflicted to lose weight.
- However, our Ideal Protein weight loss method can help reverse Type II Diabetes or, at the very least, diminish the condition’s vulnerabilities.
- People who suffer from hypoglycemia can also follow our weight loss method or our alternative plan.
Still, diabetics need be particularly vigilant on our protocol. In the first few weeks, people suffering from hypoglycemia should not exercise as much as usual in order to facilitate the reeducation of their pancreas and give their body a chance to readjust to its new eating habits. As well, they should stock up on the Ideal Protein Peach Mango drink, in case they find themselves during a low blood sugar crisis, which is predictable in their case. When it happens, they should sit down, breathe deeply and reach for an Ideal Protein Peach Mango drink. It will calm them instantly. They must be confident in the knowledge that their body, more specifically their pancreas, will, in time, soon, readjust itself to function as it was originally intended by nature.
If on medication, is the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method safe?
Our protocol is most likely safe but still, we recommend that your physician is consultant prior to beginning. Remember, Ideal Protein foods are real foods, drugfree with no stimulants. Each Ideal Protein envelope is the equivalent, nutritionally, to a chicken breast, a small filet mignon or a filet of fish.
Is the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method safe for children and what is the minimum age for following the protocol?
We successfully offer this program to youth over the age of 12. Younger children will require a physician’s release to participate. If a parent wants to replace his child’s unhealthy snacks with healthy foods, including Ideal Protein foods, the parent must ensure that the child understands the reasons why they are being deprived of these foods. If not, the child may react adversely by wanting those unhealthy foods even more than before.
