How Does the Ideal Protein Diet Work?
What makes the Ideal Protein method so effective?
Whether you are currently on the Ideal Protein protocol at our BonVie clinic, or are a graduate, or just curious about why the method works so well, this article will help answer your questions.
The Ideal Protein method is a medically designed, 4 phase-weight loss program focused on pancreas and blood sugar balance, resulting in rapid and safe fat loss. This protocol spares muscle mass, and can lower high blood pressure, high insulin and high cholesterol.
Rapid and Safe Fat Loss
The design of this scientific, medical protocol is as a short course of fat loss, moving you quickly and safely through 3 active phases into the 4th maintenance phase. We focus on rapid fat burning for energy, rather than relying on glucose and muscle stores for energy. In fact, we never want you to burn down muscle because muscle uses fat for fuel. If you are in our clinic, you know that is our mantra!

Low Carbohydrate - Optimal Protein
Carbohydrates are at a bare minimum to keep the body in "fat-burning” mode. And as some healthy fat is required by the body each day, ample essential fatty acids are included. You will eat four cups of non-starchy vegetables and unlimited greens throughout the day for fiber and nutrients, and 8 oz of your own lean protein. With all this food, our dieters do not feel hungry!
Proper Micro-Nutrient Balance
Supplements include Multi-vitamin, Calcium-magnesium, Omega3’s, Potassium, and sea salt to ensure proper micro-nutrient and electrolyte balance. Enzymes or Branched Chain Amino Acids may be added to accelerate fat burning. The BCAA's have proven to be very effective in reducing muscle burn during the fat loss phase of the program.
These are the basic building blocks of muscle tissue and muscle grows by stringing together amino acids and forming more protein. The process is called muscle protein synthesis. BCAAs stimulate the protein synthesis process.
Coaching is the Key
One of the most significant reasons for dieter success comes from our trained and certified Ideal Protein coaches, who guide you with expertise and encouragement on a weekly basis. We educate and motivate you and provide tools, like a food journal, to keep you accountable. This one-to-one coaching support helps you lose weight quickly, but more importantly, we teach you how to keep it off forever - no more yo-yo dieting.
Food that Works!
A cornerstone of the Ideal protocol is the wide selection of food choices - and the quality of the protein in those meals, shakes, bars, and snacks. Before choosing the Ideal Protein foods at BonVie over 7 years ago, I did exhaustive research and to this day have found no better protocol or protein supplements. Ideal Protein is the only FDA-certified diet or protein food available in the US. Plus Ideal Protein ingredients are Non-GMO certified, sourced from Europe, and are mostly organic. And with over 60 choices of delicious flavors and textures, our dieters are able to stick to their program long term.
