Hi, I'm on the Ideal Protein Diet. I struggle to call it a diet, as it is truly a life change. It changes the way you think about food! I have been on many diets (Herbal Magic, WW, TBM) and I know they all say that - but this one is truly your last diet. I have lost 40lbs in 16 weeks. I feel better than I ever have, and I am loving every minute of it! I am on my second week of Phase 3. Anyone else here on this diet? I was a bit suprised not to find an Ideal Protein group!

    Hi there,

    Today is my first day on this diet as well. I can't say too much since I haven't been on it for very long but so far I like their products. I have just tried the Maple Oatmeal and their Cream of Chicken Soup. My snack tonight will be the Milk Chocolate Pudding. Mmmmm :smile: I thought I would have a hard time drinking 10 glasses of water but it is only 3 pm and I have 4 glasses left :happy: I am so hoping to lose the weight. I was or still am a bit nervous since I have been told that if you lose the weight fast then you are more likely to gain it all back. I am hoping that this will not be the case.

    Thank you so much for posting on here.

    Stick with it!! You will love it. If you have any questions at all - please ask!! I am in maintenance, but by no means an expert lol. But I will try and help anyway I can, I know this diet can be very confusing in the beginning!

    Thank you!!! No questions yet. Got the headaches that they have warned me about but they go away when it is time for my next meal. And when I go to bed. I am following what they told me to eat. I did however put 1 tbs of Kraft Italian Dressing Calorie Wise in my salad. Not too sure if I should have but I wanted to try anyways. :smile: I am also finding out that I am not to keen on their puddings. lol

    What kind of exercises have you done while you were on the protein diet?

    It's a hard diet to google, finally found something to see that this diet only exists in the GTA. None of you had your location so I assume you are in it.

    The office is in Mississauga so I won't be going, too far away. Too bad they don't just make a meal plan and put it online of what protein to eat and what sugars to avoid but of course, free tips won't help them, lol

    We get a list of stuff of what to eat. But you have to eat their stuff as well. I can e-mail you a copy if you'd like. :smile:

    I have been on phase 4 - (maintenace) of Ideal Protein for 5 weeks. I love it! I have lost 60 lbs in since Oct 2010 and I feel great! I have changed my eating habits and exercise habits, and yet it was easy. I have been on many diets too and this has been the only diet that has been successful for me and has taught me how to eat! I believe that you are not wasting time being on this diet and you will truly be happy! :happy:

    I found that too - I am a major googler (is that even a word? lol) I have to research things to death before I try them. I found a great community of people, recipes, LOADS of information on the diet on this site:

    I have started the Ideal Protein Diet-and Wednesday will mark my first week. I am excited to hear what others have done with this diet, as well as get some great recipes and ideas.

    Thus far-I feel great. I have not noticed being tired-but have had a few headaches, which may be from the lack of Diet Coke!

    I am looking forward to week 3 when I will go back to exercising--to really make this plan work for me!:smile:

    Just saw an a-frame board beside a Shoppers Drug Mart near me in Ontario the other day. Info session tonight May 5th at 7:00 pm BUT I don't think I'll be home from work on time.

    Quick q for you guys, what is the cost to join this program including food/products required?? Approximate is fine by me.

    I figure if its $250 like Weight Watchers or $350 a month for Nutrisystem and I only have 10 lbs or maybe 15 I would like to lose it wouldn’t be worth the investment.

    Thank you!
