I'm 47 and my husband and I started on the Ideal Protein plan on August 23. Between the 2 of us we have lost 55 lbs. He is on Phase 3 and I have 4 more lbs to go. This has been the easiest plan we've ever followed but it also helps to have someone doing it with you! We feel great and keep saying "we're never going back to the way we were before!"

I have been following the Ideal Protein diet for about a month now and have lost 11.5 lbs so far ( hope to get down 25 lbs in total) I am very excitied to have found this recipe site because I have to admit I have gotten into a bit of a rut as far as my meals go lately. I hope that all these lovely (and hopefully tasty) recipes will help me get the rest of the way to my goal!

I decided, when I was 49, that I wanted to get in shape and live in a healthy way so that when I become 60 I will be a healthy vibrant person. So I started eating primarily lean protein and vegetables and working out on a regular basis. Although I don't follow a conventional program I am interested in many that work for lots of people and I have a group of friends who have had great success with the Ideal Protein program so I am here to learn more about it and try some recipes.

I was on the IP program last year and lost 26 lbs in 13 weeks! Since then, I did not follow any of the phase 4 rules and gained 15 lbs back, sooooo, I'm back on the program, for different reasons, with different goals, and a different attitude. Just looking for some cool recipes for phase 1 to make it a bit more exciting.....

I started Ideal Protein back in April 2012. I wanted/needed to lose about 15 pounds and just in time for my daughters high school graduation. I ended up losing 19 pounds in 8 weeks and loved the program. I am a very active person (curling, fastball, slopitch, golf) and I had a sports related injury in August 2013 which set me back for being as active as I wanted to be. This combined with a huge uprooting of my life (that same summer) with a move to a new city, searching for a new job, my second child leaving home after graduating & two destination weddings caused a lot of stress and bad eating habits. Also my age & hormones has definitely played a big factor in my weight gain so I knew I had to start 2015 off right and reset and get back on track. I started up again January 2015 and I have lost 14 pounds with 4 more to go! The program is working well and I have even referred a colleague on to it and she has lost 11.5 pounds in two weeks and is doing well on it too! I will aspire to watch my eating and alcohol consumption in the future as I know I feel so much better with this weight coming off and I will continue to keep it off!! :-)

Was on Ideal Protein Diet for 7 Months last year, I got great results but went off of it sooner than I planned because of a holiday. I have now decided to go back on it to get to my ideal weight. Looking forward to it.

I have struggled with my weight since my mid twenties. I turned 50 and decided to get control of my weight. I have been on the Ideal Protein diet for a week and a half and I am really happy with it. I have not been hungry and feel really good.

Update since this post I have lost 65 pounds on Ideal Protein. I took the summer off and on back on to hopefully lose 35 more :-)

Hello, I started IP on Jan 7, 2014. I am 54yrs old, 5'4" & weighed in at 210lbs.
On Aug 15, 2012 I horrifically broke my left ankle. It was so bad, I almost lost it. All from 1 step! I missed the bottom step at home. I also sprained my right ankle & left wrist. 4 surgeries, 6 months in a wheelchair & endless hours in rehab. My ankle will never be completely healed. It's still broken to this day.
We have determined that one of the reasons it was so horrific was because of my weight. I have tried WW, NutraSystem, Adkins & nutritionist in the past. Nothing worked very well or not at all. So when my Dr told me about IP I figured I give it a try. My husband is doing it with me & lost 60lbs in 3 months! He's now on maintenance. As for me, I've lost 50lbs in 5 1/2 months. I cheat a couple of times but have recommitted myself to loose another 40lbs, which will give me some wiggle room. I no longer need to take omeprazole or hydroclrithizide & I bet my triglycerides are normal. Can't wait till my Primary Care Dr sees me! Wish me luck!

I just started the Ideal Protein diet and after 4 days I have lost 10 inches and 3 pounds. Iam very excited to continue my weight-loss. The food is very delicious! Very easy!! Iam learning all about all the high sugar content in food that is just astounding. Experiment with recipes. I really love making omelets with mushrooms and green peppers. Good-Luck to everyone!!!

In 2014 I lost 45 lbs. on IP but this past year I gained 20 lbs. back! Totally my fault for not following maintenance protocol. New Year's resolution drop those 20 lbs. and keep them off!

I started on the Ideal Protein diet in September, 2012 and loved it so much and did so well, I opened my own Ideal Protein clinic. My doors opened in February 2013 and I have since left my "day job" to run the clinic full time. I now love going to work every day helping other dieters meet their weight loss goals. If you live in southern New Brunswick and have some pounds to lose, please give me a call and I can help you too! My dieters are finding following the program is actually less expensive than their previous grocery bill so there's no reason not to try it! You'll be surprised how easy it is to stay on the program without ever wanting to "cheat".

I am a 22 year old female. The reason why I Chose Ideal Protein was manly because I have tried every diet out there but would get scared to try the expensive programs. I heard about this wellness fair that was going on in my town and being an esthetician I decided to check it out. I was looking around and I saw the ideal protein stand and went by it and looking into it, they had a gift basket to enter to win worth $300 so like anyone I entered and went on my way with the mind set if i win i'll consider doing the program and to my surprise I WON! yay :) so been on my journey since March 17th 2014 and should be at my goal by mid November this year! and can't wait :)

started my journey at 257 in January and after about six week I have lost 31 lbs. I am half way to my goal. I have another 25 lbs to go and the help from Trista has been very help and being able to shoot off an emai and get a response is helpful! I am happy I started on this process the only things that is not so great is the clothing situation have to buy new ones! Thanks for the support Trista! Looking forward to yoga and weigh in tomorrow!4
April 10, 2015--- down 40 lbs and weight in at 221! And ther 20 to go but with all the support and help that has been given. Helps , ! People at work have noticed...even commented on my need for some new pants! Thought we bought and now I am losing more! Aiming for target weight around my brith day in May! Then it will be a summer for fun in the sun and toning the muscles that lie underneath the fat!

The first few days were SO hard to control myself from eating everything in my house. After those first few days, though, it gets easier. And right now I'm actually really excited to try new healthy recipes and see the results of my hard work!

Ive been on ideal protein for 3 1/2 months and have had a lot of success. I'm excited to keep going but the food is getting old and I'm looking for new variations of recipes. I'm a teacher and have put my job first and my personal well being second for too many years. I've decided it is time for a change. I'm taking back my life and my body.

While I was pregnant with my first child, I gained 50 pounds, finally topping out at 200. After I lost 40 pounds in a few weeks after he was born, I felt unstoppable. Then I plateaued at 160. I was a size 14 and felt disgusting. My MIL had been on the Ideal Protein program for a few months and the results were amazing. I decided to give it a try. What could I lose? I went on the program, and 12 weeks later, I was fitting into a size 3, and was 20 pounds lighter than I was before I had gotten pregnant. Now, I feel unstoppable!
