Ideal Protein Weight Loss Program in Burbank
If you are interested in losing weight for your general health, Ideal Protein is one avenue that is worth considering. This ketogenic diet plan helps you lose weight by reducing calorie intake and emphasizing an adequate protein diet. The goal of the Ideal Protein diet is to trigger a body state called ketosis, which makes your body burn fat stores instead of the sugars overrepresented in the average Western diet. Unlike typical keto diets, though, the Ideal Protein weight loss program also restricts foods that are high in fat, reasoning that this makes it easier to activate ketosis.
This diet was pioneered over 20 years ago by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, and has wide support from a range of health professionals, from pharmacists to osteopaths to cardiologists. It is also available through the Holistic Healing Heart Center in Burbank, under the supervision of holistic weight loss doctor, Cynthia Thaik, M.D. Given that 2023 presents new and compelling reasons to prioritize better health, there has never been a better time to pursue weight loss with a guided diet program.
Medically Supervised Weight Loss
Medically supervised holistic weight loss programs are intended to offer treatment to overweight or obese patients. Licensed healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered dietitians, and psychologists can all aid in the program, though it is rare that a patient needs to consult with all of these. Typically in an initial consultation, a specialist in obesity will evaluate the patient to check for co-morbidities associated with obesity, and understand the underlying causes of obesity or weight gain. The physician may also request a weight history, including previous attempts at diets, and a psychological history. This initial examination will determine what the most appropriate method for weight loss is. It may be that the program you were considering is wrong for you, for reasons you may not have previously considered. Additionally, the costs that come with a doctor supervised weight loss program depend on the services the individual patient requires.
Ideal Protein Cost
Phase 1 costs approximately $150 per week for meals, supplements and coaching, as you’re relying heavily on specific Ideal Protein fare. Phase 2, your Stabilization phase, gives you more freedom with food choices and costs approximately $100 per week and usually lasts 4-6 weeks, but duration depends on total weight loss. Phase 3 follows, which is your Maintenance, and although you are responsible for your own food choices, it is recommended that you remain connected to your coach and clinic for a year with periodic check ins to ensure you are maintaining your new healthier weight.
Ideal Protein Diet Review
Ideal Protein’s regimen is suitable for those with omnivorous and vegetarian preferences. The Ideal Protein diet is something which should be undertaken with one-on-one coaching from a registered dietitian or licensed healthcare practitioner. This supervision is required to help manage expectations, advise, and assess in the unlikely event of side effects from the diet. Multiple studies have established that ketogenic diets are more effective weight loss protocols than traditional low-fat diets, in terms of both promoting weight loss and helping patients keep the weight off. The diet is perfect for busy people who may not have time for a rigorous exercise regimen, but still want to lose weight. While it does at least initially lean on processed foods in lieu of ‘real food’, all of the Ideal Protein food is specially formulated to meet your nutritional needs, and they regularly expand their range of products to make sure that you can still enjoy variety while on your diet. They have recently released many new products with an emphasis on improving metabolic health of program participants.
Ideal Protein vs. the Ketogenic (Keto) Diet: What’s the Difference?
When you hear “low carb,” you may be wondering if Ideal Protein is the same as “keto.” While both Ideal Protein and keto diets are considered “low carb,” there are two important differences. First is the amount of fat allowed on each diet. The Ideal Protein plan includes low fat, low carb foods, and a protein intake optimized to each individual. With Ideal Protein, the focus is getting the right amount of protein in your diet. In contrast, the keto is high fat, with a moderate amount of protein, and very few carbohydrates. Keto relies on animal protein as the primary source of ketosis. Second, Ideal Protein, a medically-supervised holistic weight loss program, has built-in accountability and support, while “keto” is mostly self-directed. Ideal Protein prides itself on individualized coaching and a focus on an overall healthy lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Regular palpitations can be a sign of atrial fibrillation. While this condition can continue for years without harm, a consistent increase in heart rate can cause heart enlargement. This is a hazard which can result in heart failure. Atrial fibrillation also comes with an increased risk of stroke from blood clots that can form as a result.
Without a solid understanding of the causes, it can be hard to definitively put a stop to heart palpitations. However, the treatments mentioned above: reducing stress and intake of stimulants, alcohol, and nicotine, exercising more, and eating a balanced diet, are all good steps forward. If your cardiologist determines that you have a more serious heart condition that may be life-threatening, it will require treatment. There are heart medications which can prevent more serious heart rhythm disorders. However, because of their significant side effects, they are not prescribed lightly. Consequences of misuse can lead to heart attacks, or even sudden death.
Some people experience heart palpitations after eating. While those palpitations may be attributable to an underlying medical condition, it is also possible that the food or beverage that was just consumed is responsible. Sugar can have this effect, particularly on hypoglycemic people. Alcohol is another common influence, particularly among those who have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Foods rich in tyramine or theobromine, such as cheese, red wine, bananas, and especially chocolate (which has both), can increase heart rate and may cause atrial fibrillation.
Actually, no. A more likely cause of heart palpitations is in fact low blood pressure. It is true that medication for high blood pressure can have a side effect of causing palpitations, which may be what is happening when someone with high blood pressure experiences palpitations.
