The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method offers a nonsurgical path to assist individuals in losing weight without sacrificing lean muscle. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method was created in France more than 20 years ago by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh as a ketogenic weight loss plan. The plan is intended to train the body to burn fats for energy instead of carbohydrates, a state referred to as ketosis. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method has four stages designed to balance the patient's pancreas and blood sugar levels while tapping into fat reserves. To learn more about this method, request a consultation with one of the board-certified gastroenterologists at Hattiesburg GI Associates, PLLC. We are proud to offer the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method to Hattiesburg, MS patients.
What does obesity do to the body?
Obesity is a growing health problem in the modern era. The CDC reports that in 2009 β 2010, more than one-third of adults living in the U.S. were classified as obese, and that percentage has increased in the years since. Additional studies suggest that 17 percent of American children and adolescents meet the medical definition of obesity. The CDC also notes that obesity increases the risk of an individual developing serious conditions, including:
- Type II diabetes
- Dyslipidemia (high cholesterol)
- Osteoarthritis (worn joint cartilage)
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Certain types of cancer (including colon, breast, and endometrial)
- Gynecological ailments (including atypical menstruation and infertility)
- Problems in the liver and/or gallbladder
- Breathing problems
While obesity is a serious health threat in the U.S., it is also a problem around the world, with the World Health Organization calling it an epidemic. There are multiple factors involved in this trend, including elevated stress levels, inactive lifestyles, and the amount of food consumed that is high in sugar and saturated fats and low in nutrition.

How does the Ideal Protein program work?
The human body draws energy from three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The aim of the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is to reset the body to draw its energy from fat reserves instead of carbohydrates.
Humans pull energy first from simple and complex carbohydrates. When those stores are depleted, fat and protein are used instead. An individual of healthy weight draws about 1 β 2 percent of their energy from carbs, 19 percent from protein, and 79 percent from fat reserves.
Modern processed foods tend to be high in carbohydrates, contributing in part to the obesity crisis. Humans are able to reserve about three days' worth of carbohydrates to use for energy. With the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method, patients restrict their carbohydrates so that their bodies will use fat as fuel instead. To preserve protein and muscle mass, the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method promotes foods that feature high amounts of protein, contain eight vital amino acids, and are 97 percent absorbable (referred to as biologically complete foods). This diet is supplemented with Omega-3 Plus, Natura Multi-Vita, and Natura Calcium, all of which are rich in nutrients. Patients also consume additional electrolytes to make sure they're getting the minerals they need.
