You can’t out exercise a bad diet!

It seems like yesterday I was asking Kimber a million questions about Ideal Protein. I seemed confident on the outside, but inside was filled with fear and doubt. Fast forward seven months and here we are. I was dedicated to working out, but had zero knowledge of healthy nutrition. Ideal Protein changed that for me. I am now 47 pounds lighter and back at building muscle and reaching new goals. Ideal Protein helped me not only reach my goals but now I am making new ones! Marathon December 2017! IP is a LIFESTYLE change. I love that I never once felt alone in this journey. There was support everyday. In most cases, that support came just when I needed it through daily videos, motivational texts, and fabulous cooking classes. It not only changes your size, your self-confidence, your mind…it also gives you a new life. One that can be spent focusing on your dreams and passions  and less consumed with self image. I am forever grateful to the program and my amazing Coach, Kimber. I am even more excited about the next step into maintenance wit IP!

I lost 26 lbs!

Trudy is also on the Ideal Protein program and has lost 26 lbs and is continuing to lose.

This Program is a Life Change!

I started the IP program in January of 2016. I lost 63 lbs in about 8 months. I was thrilled with my 2 to 3 pound weight loss each week. I have succeeded at weight loss after failing multiple times with every weight loss program you can imagine. This success has impacted my life positively in so many ways. My goal was to imporve my health and to feel better. I wanted to gain vitality and energy. I have achieved those goals and as important as that is, I have gained so much more. I am absolutely amazed each day when I wake up and I am a size 4!. It just blows my mind! My confidence level and joy in living has soared. Life is fun again. Excess weight “weighs” you down in ways you can’t imagine. I feel like myself again. I had forgotten who that person was.

I can’t say enough about how effective this particular program is. The science is based on solid research. Healthy whole foods are a part of the diet from day one and are the goal for stabilization and Phase 4 lifestyle maintenance. It is a comprehensive system with monthly informational sessions and cooking classes, daily coaching videos and best of all one on one weekly coaching sessions. The support is nothing short of phenomenal. The coaches care about you and are dedicated to your success. Your are taught why your health and well being are so dependent on what you eat. Your are guided each step of the way so that over time you begin to realize that, “Yes, this time I can do this and I can make it stick!”. From the beginning, you are instructed exactly on how to change your eating behavior for long term success. Maintenance is emphasized in the IP program. You are not left hanging with questions on how to sustain your renewed health and weight loss. By the time you have reached maintenance, you have already learned a lot. You have taken major steps in changing your relationship with food.

This program is a lifestyle change. If you commit to the program, it will transform your life. As a counselor who has struggled with addictive eating, I know that eating and weight issues can steal a person’s life and sense of self. My passion, especially since achieving my own success, is to help other people overcome their own problems with food. I know that recovery is possible with a comprehensive approach that addresses the whole person emotionally, behaviourally, physically, and spiritually.

Ideal Protein was an answer to one of the hardest struggles I’ve ever had in my life!

Ideal Protein was an answer to one of the hardest struggles I’ve ever had in my life – yoyo dieting all my life, I would fluctuate between being healthy to dangerously unhealthy since I was in college. I looked down one day and this former college athlete who was 100 lbs overweight and felt very overwhelmed. My immune system was in terrible shape and even when not sick, I would fall in the bed as soon as possible after a day’s work from exhaustion.

A doctor shared with me the Ideal Protein Weightloss Program and I was desperately ready for a change. Ideal protein is effective, I saw quick results and somewhere along the journey, I remembered who I was. I allowed myself to realize every pound had a story … some good and some not so good. Ideal protein gave me tools to challenge my behaviors and make some life changes. It also (Praise the Lord) has food that does not taste like diet food!! I actually will buy some of my favorites for the rest of my life because it is so yummy.

This is my journey but your journey is next. I love to walk with people through this because I’ve been there and am still there. Coaching is a joy in my life and I feel as though my clients are some of the most incredible people I know. Kinesiology was my major in college and it goes well with this profession. You truly can’t out train a bad diet – come learn some great tools to a healthy life. If you so choose, I’d love to start this journey with you.

Lifestyle transformation!

My A-ha moment!

In January 2015, I was going on the trip of a lifetime! Cost Rica! It’s a beautiful place to visit. Weighing 217 lbs and meeting my husband’s boss for the 1st time, however was not my idea of fun.

Don’t get me wrong; we had a great time and I actually ventured onto a Jet Ski. However, I was not able to pull myself back up on to the Jet Ski even with help from our tour guide. My husband had to swim over and help. Not too far away was a catamaran full of vacationer’s. All I could do was pray no one was recording this on their phone!

Enter Dr. Smith and Ideal Protein. I started the plan March 2, 2015. I learned that I had polluted my body with so much processed food that I could not appreciate vegetables or real food. You see, I disliked vegetables! Except, of course, the high starchy ones.

During my IP journey, I learned how to plan my meals and to try new vegetables. I also learned that I wanted to set a better example for my children. By including my children in the kitchen, they are more apt to try the new vegetables as well. Their favorite? cauliflower fried rice!

Don’t get me wrong, this is a hard journey but you have to pick your hard. My coach, Kimber, and the other IP Coaches helped me along the way. I lost 75 lbs. During that time, I learned valuable nutritional information, what my body really needs, and I have developed healthier habits. Habits I hope to pass down to my children.

It’s really not a diet, it’s a lifestyle!

I lost 42 lbs!

Nancy is a graduate of Ideal Protein. She has lost 42 lbs.

The Ideal Protein Diet has meant everything to me. Losing weight and looking better (from Size 16 to Size 6) was just the “Icing on the Cake”—my objective was better health. I even reached and surpassed my goal (lost 42 lbs.) in only three and one-half months. I wake every morning thankful for my improved health along with a great satisfying feeling of accomplishment.

I can only imagine how I would be feeling if Dr. Jean Paicurich had not introduced Ideal Protein (IP) to the Stephenville area. The IP protocol made sense to me plus having a medical professional overseeing your weight loss really reinforced my desire to invest in myself for a change. My husband (quite a skeptic) of 45 years was also convinced. Between the two of us we have lost 100+ pounds. What a year 2012 has been for us! If we can be a success on this program so can you.

This is a lifestyle change!

I have tried, in the past, every diet that you can imagine.  I have done Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Slim Fast, etc.  Did they ever work for me?  No.  I got to the point that I had to change something.  Did I do it the right way?  No.  I would work out at least three hours a day and only take in 800 calories.  Did that work? Yes, it did.  I lost about 2 pounds a week.   However, it wasn’t the healthy way and I “yo-yo-ed” back up to even a higher number on the scale.  I was at my wits end.  I was so tired of being fat.  I was embarrassed to go anywhere.  I had no self-esteem or self-love for myself at all.  But in my eyes, nothing would work for me and I just gave up.I, then, was told by my doctor about Ideal Protein.

I took all of the information home, and I decided to give it a try.  And eleven weeks into it, my life has been totally changed.  Eleven weeks ago, I weighed 231 pounds, wore a size 20 jeans, was on blood pressure medicine, hardly ever had any energy, and had no self-esteem whatsoever.  Now, I have lost 51 pounds i 14 weeks,  wear a size 12 jeans (which are loose), been off of my blood pressure medicine for 11 weeks, have tons of energy, and feel pretty wherever I go.  This diet isn’t a gimmick.  It works.  I still have 30 more pounds to go to get to my goal weight.  Does that overwhelm me?  Not at all.  Why, you ask.  Well, let me tell you.

I am blessed with an amazing coach, who is there for me anytime I need her.  The food is great.  The snacks are delicious!  No “chalky” drinks.  The drinks taste like a treat!  Trust me; I am a picky eater when it comes to “healthy food”.  But, in all truthfulness, I do not feel like I am dieting.  This is a life-style change.  It has changed not only my weight and my physical self, it has changed my health, it has changed the way that I see myself, and above all it has saved my life.  I don’t work out.  I just eat healthy and follow the plan that my coach has given me.  And I have lost an average of four pounds a week!  What an accomplishment!  This diet has done wonders for me.  Trust me when I say that it can do the same for you.
