Hello. So I'd like to know about becoming an Ideal protein coach. 5 people in my family have done the program, my husband and I have joined the lossing tribe , and I'd like to know about becoming a coach . I don't want to ask my coach and step on toes. I'd love advice and tips . Thanks so much.

    No offense intended, but is that like a beach body coach and the beach body program? None of those programs are necessary to weight loss. Just eat less calories than you burn and you will lose weight.

    And once you become one, you can't advertise here.

    This is true too.

    Why don't you contact the company?

    The cynic in me thinks they already are coaches and were looking for new customers. ....

    Coaches in just about any MLM program are just regular people who end up being supporting customers for the company and are solely "made" to just recruit more people to become more "coaches". Whatever you're paying to keep up with the program, is something you have to keep paying to stay a coach.

    Ideal Protein diet is usually done through a medical practice and not MLM. It looks like you can go on their website or find other weight loss centers and see if they are hiring.

    Then the next question is: What is an Ideal Protein Diet coach? Someone who's been educated in nutrition or physiology? Or just a person who can just answer basic questions on product?

    They sell products, which are meal replacements, and make big promises that their program is the way to lose weight. They are no better than any MLM scam.

    The bottom line is that program, including their replacement food, is 100% unnecessary to weight loss. It's just a way for them to make money and pray off the vulnerabilities of people who think they have to have a program to lose weight.

    Before you start trashing Ideal Protein, you should be much more informed. Also, telling anyone that all you have to do is eat less calories to lose weight is also misleading, some people need direction and some type of program to do it.

    How is it misleading? That's exactly how the human body works, even a program (in order to actually show results) has to be constructed in a way that someone who follows it will be eating less.
