Losing Weight Has Never Been So Delicious!
The start to a new year marks a new opportunity to begin your journey of working towards a healthier, new you. Ideal Protein can help you meet your New Year’s Resolutions of weight loss and healthier lifestyle goals. It is a 3-phase protocol that burns fat while supporting muscle retention and other types of lean tissue. Not only will you lose weight, but you also receive the guidance and knowledge to keep the weight off and maintain through one-on-one weekly coaching.
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method was originally developed over 20 years ago and has evolved over the past two decades. Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, a Parisian physician, developed Ideal Protein and focused his career and research on nutrition, with a heavy emphasis on the treatment of obesity-related issues. The Ideal Protein method has been proven successful to help people reach and maintain their weight loss and health goals.
Ideal Protein is a reliable and safe weight loss program, with all food items being FDA approved. We are here to assist you with your weight loss and health goals. With the assistance of professionally trained medical staff, Ideal Protein will be catered to your specific medical needs. It is important to disclose all medical conditions that can influence your results. Before being able to participate, everyone is required to complete a health profile to ensure that they are qualified for the protocol.
The Ideal Protein diet ensures the optimal intake of protein, vitamins and minerals that allow the body systems to function properly and optimally. The goal is to provide the body with the appropriate amount of protein to preserve lean body mass while simultaneously reducing the intake of carbohydrates and fats. The purpose of this is to allow the body to lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
There are three phases of the program to ensure weight loss and the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight loss achieved. The first phase of the protocol is the weight loss phase. In this phase, the Ideal Protein meal replacements are used for three of the four meals that a participant consumes daily. In addition, a serving of protein and vegetables is added by the participant for dinner. The duration of this phase is flexible and depends on the individual and the weight loss plan that is put in place by their fitness coach during the first consultation.
The second phase of the Ideal Protein protocol is a two-week period that involves the introduction of a higher intake of carbohydrates and the transition of the participant into stabilization. The coach and the client will work together to create a customized weekly menu to sustain the client’s personal macronutrient needs. This involves a private one-on-one appointment for the duration of one hour that is required for this phase of the program.
The third phase is the pre-stabilization phase and involves the client using all the education that has been taught over his/her journey and provides guidance to ensure the maintenance of better eating patterns. Periodic check-ins and resources are provided to guarantee long-lasting success without gaining the weight back.
A common question that is asked is if exercise is allowed during the Ideal Protein protocol. It is recommended after 2 weeks on the protocol, to begin with, light exercise. Ideal Protein is acknowledged as a low-calorie plan. Therefore, moderate, and heavy cardio-based exercise has the potential to cause muscle loss, which is not the goal.
An additional component to the protocol called Ideal Fitness is offered to the participant. Ideal Fitness provides the participant with weekly workouts that are guided by an online personal trainer that improves core strength and stability with new workouts being posted every week. It is especially important to stay hydrated and take all the Ideal Protein supplements that are recommended as well.
The duration of every individual’s journey with Ideal Protein is all relative to the goals that are set with their personal Ideal Protein coach during the initial consultation. Every individual is unique with different motivations and goals. The speed of the program depends on multiple factors involving age, family circumstances, health status and desired outcome of the participant. Though everyone’s journey varies, the same resources are provided to everyone for ultimate success.

An Integrated Weight Loss Program
What to expect during a treatment of CoolSculpting®
- Preparation: A clear gel pad will be applied to the treatment area to create a barrier between your skin and the cooling panel.
- Beginning of the Treatment: When the treatment begins, you will experience a slight sucking sensation from the applicator that is attached to your body. Other sensations include tugging, pulling, intense cold, tingling, stinging, mild pinching, cramping, and some slight aching at the treatment location. The treatment area will quickly become numb and these sensations will subside
- Relax! As the treatment begins, you are able to relax and allow the CoolSculpting® to do all the work. You are able to answer emails, chat on the phone, or simply relax.
- When the Treatment is complete: A brief massage on the treated area will be performed. This massage breaks up the treated fat cells and helps with the overall fat reduction.
- Resume your daily activities! There is little to no downtime following a CoolSculpting® procedure, and you are able to resume any work or activities. Depending on the area of the treatment, you may need multiple sessions.
Phases of Ideal protein
Phase One
After your CoolSculpting® treatment, a scheduled follow-up assessment will review your results and decide if there are any additional sessions that are needed. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, however there are no specific or special diets that are required post-treatment.
For CoolSculpting®, the results are not immediate but are very long-lasting. As soon as 3 weeks following a treatment, you will see approximately a 25% reduction of fat bulges, however the greatest results occur over the following 2-4 months post-treatment. The results of total fat loss can be more or less, depending on the body types, the individual patient, the amount of fat that is treated, and the area of the body that is being treated.
If you are looking for more than a 20-30% fat reduction, you may require multiple CoolSculpting® treatments, depending on the size of the layer of fat to be removed and what your particular goals are. In combination with maintaining your weight post-treatment with a normal diet and exercise, your results should be long-term.
Phase TWO
Following a CoolSculpting® treatment, the treated fat cells no longer exist and can no longer enlarge which results in the size and occurrence of treated areas to be reduced long-term. It is important to note, however, that each contouring treatment reduces only about 20-25% of fat cells, and if patients do not continue to eat well and exercise, they can still gain weight in the area due to the remaining 75% of fat cell that can expand, making it important not to gain weight after the procedure to ensure that your results are long-lasting.
When you find out how many areas of the body that CoolSculpting® can treat, it will be hard to pick just one! Although the process remains the same for each person, it’s important to understand that the best areas of CoolSculpting® will vary for each particular body.
phase three
Following a CoolSculpting® treatment, the treated fat cells no longer exist and can no longer enlarge which results in the size and occurrence of treated areas to be reduced long-term. It is important to note, however, that each contouring treatment reduces only about 20-25% of fat cells, and if patients do not continue to eat well and exercise, they can still gain weight in the area due to the remaining 75% of fat cell that can expand, making it important not to gain weight after the procedure to ensure that your results are long-lasting.

Ideal protein Before & After
Success that lasts
The Best Areas for CoolSculpting®
1. Flanks
Also known as “love handles”, the bulges at the lower sides of your waist respond extremely well to CoolSculpting®, even if weight loss hasn’t effectively worked to shrink them. This will make you feel more confident in slimmer skirts, dresses, and shirts, to eliminate the annoying need to hide your sides any longer
2. Abdomen
Your stomach is one of the most common places on the body that stores fat, making it very hard to reach and change this area with just diet and exercise. This is the most common area that people want CoolSculpting® for, especially since the results are extremely impressive
3. Thighs
Thigh fat can be particularly stubborn, especially when the area is exposed in dresses, skirts, or slim pants. CoolSculpting® yields good results on both the inner and outer thigh areas, even though they’re very different. The skin on the inner thighs is typically easier to pinch and feel surface area. Fat on the outer thighs, sometimes known as “saddle bags” is harder to pinch however is still made up of the right tissue that CoolSculpting® is able to target and treat.
4. Upper arms
If you notice that your upper arms have fat that appears fluffier and lumpier, this type of fatty tissue can be targeted by CoolSculpting® and can yield great results that will make you feel better in sleeveless clothes and dresses.
5. Double Chin
There is actually a miniature CoolSculpting® applicator that is specifically designed to treat the pad of fat that lays just underneath the chin both precisely and safely. The fat under the chin responds very well to CoolSculpting®, making it one of the best areas to target and one of the easiest insecurities to eliminate!
6. Underneath the buttocks
The pouches of fat underneath the buttocks can be effectively treated with CoolSculpting® to smooth out the area to slim it and create more contour, and follows the rest of the area of your leg under the buttocks
7. Back fat
Several areas of the back can be stubborn with retaining fat and creating insecurities. The lower back that extends from love handles, the mid-back fat on the sides, and bulges of fat that appear under the bra line can be extremely frustrating. CoolSculpting® is very effective in treating these areas and allowing you to wear that backless dress you’ve been dying to show off!
