Throughout my life I have tried various diets but the end result has always been the same. I would be able to do fairly good for a short while and may even be able to lose some weight. But then I would hit a plateau and get discouraged. Then not long after that I would just go back to over eating and the weight would just come right back. My weight was the classic Yo-Yo syndrome. Finally, I just pretty much had given up even trying to do anything about my obesity. I had basically resigned to the fact that it was just who I was....“the short fat guy.” However, due to the employer’s advising, I knew that I needed to do something but I also knew it wouldn’t do me much good to go see a doctor because I already knew that the doctor would just tell me what I already knew... I needed to lose weight! So I started looking into various diets but wasn’t finding any plan that I was liking. Then I was at a conference and saw an acquaintance that was not eating the food. I started talking to him and he told me about the Ideal Protein program and how it had done so well for him. I was interested in everything he told me so he gave me the contact information. I contacted Dixie and attended the informational clinic. I really liked what Ideal Protein had to offer. My only drawback was the cost. I thought about it for a while and discussed it with my family and finally decided that you just cannot put a price on your health. The amount that the program costs over what you would already be spending for groceries that you would normally be buying is a very small price to pay for good health. The benefits far outweigh the cost! So I started the program and now it is 9 months later and I have reached my goal losing just over 100 pounds. I started the program weighing 249.8 lbs. and am now 146.8 lbs. and I am enjoying much better health than I can ever remember having before! We just had our annual health screening at work again and the proof is in the results below:

You will notice that the LDL (bad cholesterol) has a “N/A” last year. The reason that it was not available was because they told me whenever the triglycerides are over 400, their machine cannot calculate the LDL. So who knows how high it actually was? Amazingly the only issue I was really having before was a lot of heartburn. I would have to sit up in my recliner just to get some relief from the heartburn. But since I have lost the weight, I have had NO heartburn at all. Outside of the heartburn I wasn’t experiencing any other symptoms but I know that I was destined for serious health issues if I would not have done something about my weight! And the Ideal Protein program has been a wonderful way to do it.

I definitely would recommend this program to anyone that is needing to lose weight. The IP products are delicious and a very sensible and healthy way to lose the weight. Then the weekly visits and the support you get from your coach is outstanding and keeps you focused on your goal. This has to be a change in your lifestyle and your eating habits! You have to determine that you are going to stick to it, and then you will successfully achieve your goal! GOOD LUCK!
