Check out some of our Ideal Protein FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) below.
What is your health worth to you? By the time you count dining out, happy hours, groceries, etc., you’ll find that you actually spend less on the Ideal Protein diet and it becomes cost neutral. Our plan includes:
- Initial consultation and Health Assessment. We check the following:
- InBody Composition analysis to check body fat percentage and lean mass composition (this occurs on a weekly basis)
- One month of vitamins
- 11 day supply of Ideal Protein food
- Ideal Shaker and Ideal Salt
- Personal weight loss coach with weekly weigh-ins and measurements
- Ongoing costs include:
- Ideal Protein food: pre-packaged products available at an average of $4.50 per meal or packet
- Multi-Vitamin, Calcium Magnesium, Omega 3 and Potassium supplements replenished monthly
During the first phase, foods that contain carbohydrates or complex sugars are restricted. Don’t worry – you don’t have to figure it all out yourself. After your introduction to the diet, you will receive a complete list of approved protein, vegetables, and FDA approved Ideal Protein products for each phase. You’ll replace fatty carbs and sugars with the high quality Ideal Protein food products offered by our clinic. You can eat things like soups, puddings, brownies, shakes, soy nuts, and much more! A typical Phase 1 dinner meal would include two cups of select vegetables and an eight-once serving of protein from one of the following: fish, seafood, beef, poultry, or pork. Breakfast, lunch and snack will be an ideal protein food and 2 cups of select vegetables at lunch time.
In later phases of the protocol, restricted foods slowly become reintroduced as clients apply their newfound knowledge on how to maintain weight, cravings, and continue a healthy attitude towards food. Eventually, when you’re off the diet completely, you’ll be able to eat whatever you’d like, but you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to make healthier choices and good food combinations.

As a good rule, always consult with your doctor before beginning a restrictive diet. All IP clients are asked to complete a Health Profile, so if you have dietary restrictions, discuss them with your coach during this time. Our clinic will provide an Alternative Plan to accommodate restrictions and specific nutrition needs.
