 My need to post about this is because I have just experienced negative feed back about my weight loss so far. Wouldn't you know it " the ghost of a boy (with a 6pack) from a Fat girls past" had to step in for some more emotional torture. did I mention he is now a nutritionist? not that I am claiming to be a doctor or a nutritionist but I don't see any problems with the Ideal Protein Method. If you have been on the diet before you would know all about the science behind the diet from your consultations, if you haven't then let me give you an idea. Ideal Protein is a medically designed weight loss method. Ideal Protein is just simply food, it is safe for everyone I give my little guy the snacks all the time it is way better then giving him cookies or chocolate and he is getting his limit of protein, which is essential seems though everything about the human body is made of protein (hair, nails, organs, skin). All we use it for is a tool for weight loss in order to get our minimum amount of protein your body needs (calculated by your lean body mass) in low calories. On this diet we force our body into a natural state called Ketosis. Ketosis is when the body uses its fat storages for energy. So because we are not eating as many carbohydrates that our body usually burn first, your body will naturally go to your muscle for energy, but because we are eating the minimum amount of protein we need for our lean mass we are protecting the muscle so the body has nothing else but to go to our fat. (which is what we want to lose; fat) muscle is our little engines that help burn fat. |
| Now that I gave a little info on the diet let me get back to the pessimistic nutritionist. He told me what I am doing is unhealthy. What is so unhealthy about someone eating protein and veggies? how is this different then someone just cutting out carbs and eating protein and veggies? the only difference is that I am able to have 3 out of 4 proteins per day under 100 cal which gives me an upper hand of losing the weight faster. I am not injecting myself with hormones, or popping pills I am simply eating food. He claims that I will gain all of my weight back and more when I am done this diet... true and false... I will gain all my weight back ONLY if I go back to the way I was eating before with McDonalds, Tim Hortons, Chocolate bars, Pop, Chips. not saying that I wont have something once and awhile. but Ideal Protein gives us the tools to be long term successful.. only if we choose to listen and follow the maintenance. The false part how ever; because we are protecting the muscle (unlike other diets) we wont gain the "and some" so quickly if we go back to old habits. remember when I said that muscle is our little engines that help burn fat? well if you made it to your weight loss goal and gave your pancreas enough time to reset and introduce your carbs slowly and in the right food combinations your muscles will help burn any excess insulin your body produces. You don't gain all of your weight back because the diet failed you. You gain it all back because you failed the diet. |
| A diet is not a Vaccine against Obesity, and I wish that the pessimistic people would do a little research on this diet before shooting out hurtful and negative things when they don't understand the science. So as my good friend Eleanor Roosevelt said "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." I am not going to let anyone come in between me and my success. It is hard enough to stick to a diet while the world around you is in a candy land we don't need any more negative vibes. |
