We have had quite a number of people who have restarted the Ideal Health NOW plan prior to the Christmas and New Year. They did not want to be up 10 Lbs and get past Christmas and increase more lbs.
This has been exciting to see!
We have also had many calls and emails from more wanting to Restart with us at Ideal Health NOW after the New Year.
Therefore – if you have found that you have gained at least 8 LBS for women and 12 LBS for men – or more….
Do not beat yourself up – Don’t despair – let us help you!
We want to help you get the Fat off as quickly as possible so other health issues do not surface and you can feel normal during the coming spring months.
Restarts – What to Expect
Based on our successes at Ideal Health NOW – we will ask you to do several simple things to restart.
# 1 If it has been a year since you 1st started with our clinic – we need you to go online and update your chart information by filling out a new Health Profile. Go to – idealhealthnow.com – click “ how to start” find “Health Profile and submit from your computer only – no smart phones or tablets.
# 2 Schedule a morning appointment for a Wellness Screening & Coaching appt. – were we will ask you fast overnight, stick your finger and draw 4 drops of blood to gather data of your beginning Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL, Glucose , and Ratios of HDL & LDL from our Cholestech Machine (just like Heart Hospital)
#3 During your appointment ( 1st appt only is 25 – 30 min) :
- Plan to watch Dr. Chandler’s video ( 15 min ) to educate you about the medical science behind the diet.
- Meet with a coach about the impact food has on the body and how to identify the food combinations that promote fat storage
- Weigh and Measure
- Go over Phase 1 and compliance with eating your Protein foods, vegetables and supplements.
- Journal
- Mandatory weekly appointments – * the key to prevention of regaining weight is education, belief of the scientific results, and follow-up.
Dr. Chandler and I believe one of the most important things that we can do to promote long-term weight maintenance is to create an environment in the clinic where a patient feels comfortable coming, not only when they are doing well, but also when they are struggling. We do not want continual NON-compliance; but by creating an environment where patients feel safe to share their struggles, we can often intervene early-on before the patient regains a significant amount of weight.
When our coaches initially see a patient who regained some weight, they congratulate them for having the courage to come in to see us. Our main focus of the visit is to begin to get an understanding of what worked – what did NOT work – and where are they in the process.
The patient usually tells us upon graduation or stopping the plan they continued some of the great habits they learned…. THEN slowly they became less attentive and it became simpler to grab foods full of Carbs and FATS like fried foods, decadent desserts, alcohol, and sugary soft drinks will lead to weight gain and inflammation that led to weight gain, Acid Reflux, and Joint pain.
Great Quotes:
Kathy – (2 yrs. grad) “This plan has given me freedom to not be mad at myself at the end of the year – I also do not beat myself up if I gain 5 lbs because I know I can get it off.”
Karan (Phasing off – grad Dec 2013) “ I love the freedom of knowing that everything in my closet fits and if I order a size 6 (down from a size 18/20) from amazon and it arrives – IT FITS ! “
Pam – (Dec 2013 grad) “When I was gaining my weight I always thought ‘One day I will lose this weight.’ 12 years later I was ready to deal with the weight and have successfully lost 70 Lbs while on plan with Ideal Health NOW. In the process of losing weight I really thought I would only be dealing with the FAT – but ‘I was wrong. ‘ … If I had NOT gained the weight ( 70 lbs ) I would not be living with the saggy floppy skin under my arms. I wished I would have known. “
Mary (phase 1 ) “ As I am steadily losing the inches and weight each week – I feel so much better ( less and less pain in the joints) and I have more freedom to move. The issues surrounding Metabolic Syndrome have robbed me of my joy. I have more joy in my life now. “
Jessica (coach and 2010 grad) “ I do NOT allow myself to be taken in by the concept that I am deprived while on or off plan (off plan I use my food rules) I want to maintain because I want the full measure of my health and vitality at my age.”
This is the first holiday season in YEARS that I didn’t dread going to parties and seeing people I haven’t seen in a while. It will be the first New Year in my life that I didn’t either have a New Year’s Resolution about losing weight or more recently not have a resolution (because they don’t work) but feel guilty for not having one. How freeing is that!!! THANK YOU to the team at Ideal Health Now for helping me! You guys are great!!!
