Recently we have had many people return to Re-start the Ideal Health NOW plan and they always ask us “Why does the Ideal Protein product and plan work so effectively?”
This week we look at all the reasons some people give up.. and why they come back!
#8 – Discouraged with Life right now.
There are a few people (less than 5 – out of 200) where life has dealt them a huge blow and it is very understandable that they do not need to focus on a diet plan to lose weight. The interesting thing is, even under extreme circumstances they want to remain as healthy as possible to navigate through their tough situations. We try to remain a support, alter their food plan and remain a resource for them. These patients enjoy the great team of coaches at Ideal Health NOW that give hugs, prayers and encouragement & truly care and enjoy coming alongside each person – no matter how hard the situation.
#7 – Not enough fun!
Is fun only related to food? NO! Try to keep your mind open that there are other areas in life that can be more enjoyable than food. Strive to break the habits = ‘ the RUTS in life’ in that associate only food as a fun experience. Instead … try new activities (without food as the focus) that you have put aside in your life because your previous SAD = Standard American Diet made you so sick and tired that you gave up fun activities you used to enjoy. Most of those who return say they felt so much better on the diet and enjoyed a better quality of life.
#6 – Unrealistic Expectations.
I am astounded when I hear a person’s expectations that they are disappointed because they did not lose higher than the average weight loss per week.
On the Ideal Health NOW plan Woman should lose an average of 2-3 lbs per week – not 5-7 like a man and….. Men should lose 4-7 lbs per week – not 8- 10 lbs .
We are also stunned when we hear about people who are NOT following plan / cheating – yet they are surprised & disappointed that they did NOT lose the average weight in the week. Make sure you are being realistic – there is no other diet that is this healthy & achieves these results when it is followed correctly. The diet truly burns fat (incredible inches are lost due to fat loss)!
People return to what works consistently and gets them results!
#5 – I’m Too Busy!
Everyone in America is busy! No one is unique in this arena, and yet we celebrate with people every week who find a way to make the Ideal Health NOW plan work in spite of their busy lives. These people take 100% of the responsibility and stop making excuses and blaming circumstances that could keep them from following an evidence based plan that works. Why or HOW do they make it work? They take steps to prepare for the next day & they do what it takes to get the job done and do NOT allow themselves a way out. They want the results and they are willing to organize their schedule and follow the plan. I have heard 99% of those in the 1st few weeks say – ” They enjoyed the stability of a sound plan in their life – it made them feel more in control in the midst of the busy schedule.”
#4 – This diet plan is – Too much work!
Honestly – I don’t know how to respond to this , because this is one of the more simple diet plans the majority have experienced . I have not found any other diet to be this effective and this simple. People send us diet plans all the time to compare and we don’t have to say much since the patient brings in their research & proves that the Ideal Protein diet is the most effective and simple. Meal planning and cooking is cut in half , you get to eat real food along with a tasty product, and you are allowed to eat out at the majority of restaurants — – which will save you time and effort.
#3- Ideal Protein is – Too expensive!
It is $ 4 a meal + $1- $2 (grocery store price) more for 2 cups of veggies. For these prices, lunch costs $ 6.50 . Where can you go to purchase breakfast or lunch or a snack of this quality for this amount? In 2010- I was on a tight budget and spent the money to do the Ideal Protein diet – I figured it cost me $40 more per week than my typical grocery budget – there are over 60% of our patients who say the cost is equal to what they spent on groceries & 20% say the plan saves them $$$ money because they are planning their food purchases better and learning to cook at home again. People return because their health, healthier lifestyle, getting off of medications, & how they feel is cost effective.
#2 – The Emergency is over – I am good now!
Once the initial scare of health and/or weight is reduced …like getting off certain medications, loss of weight of 25 – 30 – 50 lbs; they are looking and feeling better than you have in 10-15 – 20 years… People will just stop the plan without phasing off or learn to Maintain and manage life with a healthy eating strategy. They return when they start to put on some weight and realize they did not complete the training to learn lifestyle weight management – the new emergency (fear) of not managing their weight scares them… they do NOT want to go backwards.
#1 – I have a handle on this – I can do this on my own!
At around 12 – 15 weeks on the Ideal Health NOW plan – people think I have a handle on this and I can do this on my own. They seek out other protein products that are cheaper but seem comparable and continue the plan with another product. They return after 4 weeks of using the substitute protein because it is NOT working and they are not feeling well, their blood pressure is rising, & they are NOT fitting in their clothes ( they got rid of larger clothes) – they are gaining fat & weight. When they walk through the Ideal Health NOW doors they all ask… WHY? WHY OR WHAT MAKES THE IDEAL PROTEIN DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PROTEIN PRODUCTS?
Here is the reason ‘WHY’ Ideal Protein works over other Proteins:
* The Ideal Protein product is a protein isolate which is the purest form of protein = 95% pure protein. Typical proteins on the market are made of a protein concentrate 70 – 75 %protein or sometimes a blend of a protein isolate & concentrate = 75 – 85% protein, which is still good, just not as effective.
Ideal Protein delivers 95% of the Amino Acid profile needed by the body.
* Therefore each Ideal Protein packet contains the highest quality absorbable protein isolates that delivers 150 % minimum– 200% of the 20 Amino Acids in the serving of a drink, bar, omelet, puddings or soups – It takes 8 – to – 10 times more of the other proteins on the market to receive t the full Amino Acid profile – which other protein products adds more calories, carbohydrates and fats per serving.
Because Ideal Protein uses the purest form of Protein Isolates , this allows the Amino Acids to quickly enter the blood stream – to allow Hormones & Neurotransmitters attach to the Amino Acids and then able to do their job, helps keep hunger at a minimum, and gives the human body the Proteins & Amino Acids it needs to build and maintain all areas of the body.
The bottom line: body is fed the highest form of Protein & Nutrition & produces results of fat loss, less inflammation, more energy, and better health!
* Ideal Protein protocol has 27 years of scientific research behind it’s development and has been scrutinized by many in the medical research field. It is scientifically accurate and it works! We have actually had 3 different doctors research ( other than Dr Chandler) why the Ideal Protein is different – they all agree and generously gave me some of the information I listed above.
* The quality of the Ideal Protein product tastes better than any other protein product! In general the product does the job and tastes good. Other Protein products on the market taste, bland, waxy (is that a word?), cardboard, & sometimes bad.
The bottom line: The Ideal Health NOW plan utilizes the Ideal Protein product that allows the body to be fed the highest form of Protein & Nutrition which then produces incredible results of fat loss, less inflammation, more energy, and better health!
