Testimonials

When Dr. Biondi first told me of the Ideal Protein program, I was skeptical. I had been a lifetime dieter, trying every diet without much success. I figured I had nothing to lose, but weight, so why not try it. I promised myself that I would commit to the program through Christmas which was four months away. After the first month I had lost 12 pounds. I was so excited to continue. By Christmas I had lost about 45 pounds. The weight loss was steady at about 3 pounds a week.

The pounds and the inches seemed to be melting off. Each week the scale and my coach reinforced my commitment to continue. At the end of March, 7 months on the program, I had lost over 70 pounds. As I started phase 2 of the program through maintenance I have lost a total of 77 pounds. I now know which foods work for me and have made a commitment to continue eating healthy to maintain my current weight.

I started Ideal Protein in March of 2011. I lost 120 pounds in the first year and I am still losing the weight (34 more pounds to go!). When I started this diet I was at a very low point in my life, weighing in at over 300lbs. I had spinal fusion that made exercise difficult and even walking was hard. I tried every diet out there, so when my doctor recommended I try Ideal Protein, I was very skeptical.

I really thought that surgical weight loss was my only option but I decided to give this diet a try. I honestly did not think it was going to work but I told myself that I was going to give it my all. My family agreed to help me also by keeping my ‘trigger’ foods out of the house (pizza was banned!). I started losing weight quickly but in the back of my mind I thought it would only last a few months before I plateau like all my other diets. But to my surprise, that never happened! I kept losing the weight and started gaining a whole new life.

I have so much more energy and feel great! I did not ‘exercise’ with this diet but I was naturally doing more activities. I went to the beach, the parks, movies, concerts, casinos and a bunch of day trips with the girls.. things I stopped doing years ago. I have reached so many milestones I thought I never could reach and I only wish I knew about this diet years ago.

I thank my coach for encouraging me each week and keeping me motivated. And I thank Dr. Biondi for offering this life altering program for it is more than just a diet. It is about feeling great physically and mentally as well as really enjoying life. I really like the person I see in the mirror now!
