Thinking about Keto or a Ketogenic Diet?

Looking to work with a Personal Coach? 

If no, thank you for visiting and good wishes with your journey.

If yes, you have come to the right clinic! Please continue…

Have diets failed you in the past?

Put an end to dieting disappointment for good working with our team at Ideal Nutrition in Cedar Park and Georgetown, TX.

Why do most diets not deliver as advertised? In a word: boredom. Most start well, but after too many meals that are too restrictive, we lose interest. We’re justifiably bored. And we quit.

So, how do you find a weight-loss program you can stay with to the end — and beyond? How do you lose weight and keep it off?

The first is finding a diet and exercise program that suits you, your lifestyle, your likes, and your goals.

The second is “skill power,” a powerful set of specific habits that can make all the difference between setbacks and lasting success. This comes from knowledgable and professional nutritional coaching.

Here at Ideal Nutrition, we combine both.

First, let’s start with the current and popular fad Diet – The Keto Diet

Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet

Cholesterol. A keto diet has shown to improve triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels most associated with arterial buildup.

Weight Loss. As your body is burning fat as the main source of energy, you will essentially be using your fat stores as an energy source while in a fasting state.

Blood Sugar. Many studies show the decrease of LDL cholesterol over time and have shown to eliminate ailments such as type 2 diabetes.

Energy. By giving your body a better and more reliable energy source, you will feel more energized during the day. Fats are shown to be the most effective molecule to burn as fuel.

Hunger. Fat is naturally more satisfying and ends up leaving us in a satiated (“full”) state for longer.

Acne. Recent studies have shown a drop in acne lesions and skin inflammation over 12 weeks.

That’s Why we Use Ideal Protein as Our Ketogenic Weight Loss Program for Keto Dieters.

We are experts with the Ideal Protein Method, the science behind it, and the nutrition experience to make ketogenic dieting more successful for our clients.

How is Ideal Protein different from other high protein diets on the market?

The Ideal Protein (IP) Method is a medically designed 4-phase structured protocol that promotes losing fat while maintaining lean muscle mass.

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is based on creating ketosis in the body, where the body stops using its glycogen (sugar stores) and uses fat for energy.

The liver produces ketones from the breakdown of fat which is then used by the body for energy.

This is done by reducing the carbohydrate intake to very specific amounts and then providing the body with an adequate amount of protein in order to maintain lean muscle mass.

This Ideal Protein program has a beginning and end. Carbohydrates are not the enemy, rather certain combinations of foods that we will coach you on.

When you are finished with this program you will be able to enjoy all foods again!

Each Ideal Protein food contains up to 20 grams of protein per portion, twice as much as many competitors.

In addition, each food features a high biological protein, complete with 8 essential amino acids which recreates 100% of the biological value of a complete protein for maximum assimilation and absorption.

Each Ideal Protein food is low in saturated fats, has no trans fats, aspartame, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) or Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).

Why does Ideal Protein work?

The Ideal Protein program is a (4) four-phase fully coached weight loss program. We are here to help you through every part of losing weight and to help you in keeping it off!

Every week you will meet with your IP coach to go over the prior week and plan for the next week.

You will get your next weeks worth of food and supplies at your weekly visits. You are welcome to stop in during office hours to pick up products as well.

Our clinic is set up as a store also to make it as easy as possible for you to succeed!

 

Our program is monitored because as your body improves its health and as the weight comes off you will need to reevaluate the medications you may be taking.

We will work together with your primary care physician in determining this.

We have the proof…

• Women dieters in our clinic lose an average of 2–5 pounds per week,*
• Men an average of 4 to 7 pounds per week,*
• Plus, dieters with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol have been able to reduce their medications,*
• Reduce ‘hunger feelings’ during your weight loss,
• We have seen very good results for long-term maintenance.

Review

I have been struggling with my weight my entire adult life and having Hashimoto Hypo-thyroidism and a very sluggish metabolism, it has been next to impossible to lose weight. That is UNTIL I met Dr. Smith thorough BNI and the staff at IWAS. After a consult and going on Facebook to poll my friends (who all highly recommended Ideal Protein too), I decided it was worth a shot.

Now, I have been on the program for five months (along with my daughter-in-law) and both of us have taken off 55 pounds so far and we are nearing the half way mark to our original goal.

Stefani (our nutritional coach) is an Angel and walks the nutrition walk (having lost 20 pounds on the IP program herself) but her Nutritional Eexpertise has been THE KEY to our success in staying on the program and maximizing our weight loss. She knows her stuff! Whether you need to loose 5 pounds or 100+ pounds like me, you won’t be disappointed with the Ideal Protein program and the incredible staff at Ideal Nutrition @Ideal Weight & Skin.

I know other clinics offer Ideal Protein programs but you definitely won’t get half the care and concern you will find here. It’s easy to tell the staff at IWAS is genuine and truly CARES about their patients’ and wants them to succeed. Thank you for giving me back HOPE! – MS

Laurette Smith MD

Founder and Medical Director

 

I started with this group and my wonderful Coach Jill in August 2018. She has been such a blessing since day one.

Her friendliness, professionalism, encouragement and sincere care have guided me on to a successful path of forever weight loss.

I’m so glad I took the huge step in changing my life for the better and found her to go thru this journey with.

Thanks Coach Jill for everything so far!!! LS

Dont’ do it alone!

With our coaching, you’ve now created a greater sense of Accountability.

• We as humans don’t like letting others down. It’s in our DNA.
• You’re now accountable to someone, and specifically, someone you respect as being your coach (you chose them, after all!).
• The result of Accountability = proven to increase patient success.

Dieting is Hard, but We Keep it Simple and Real.

• Dieting creates many unaccustomed life sources of stress.
• What was once a routine decision, or typical meal is now overshadowed by the goal of weight loss.

– The scale is one pound higher than yesterday. Now what?

– My best friend is having a birthday party this weekend. What do I do?

– I must work late this week and can no longer workout at 5:00 p.m. How do I adjust my food?

• Our Coaches and Nutritionist have over 20 years of experience and have many successful tips and advice to pass on for your success, so you can focus on eating well (and stay on your plan!)

Stefani is awesome! I was going to another Ideal Protein Clinic coach previously and it doesn’t even compare to the experience I’ve had with Stefani. She is a nutritionist, knows her stuff, and truly cares and gives “real” life feedback. AP

With our Coaching, You Become Set-up for Short and Long-Term Success

Unfortunately, only five percent of people who lose significant weight have kept it off ten years later.

Our coaches teach you how to eat healthy and confidently for life.

“Ultimately our staff desire is to empower our clients to find their ideal weight and happy balance between nutrition, exercise, and life so that you can maintain the weight and life you want to long-term.” – Stefani Markum Ideal Nutrition Manager

• So, when your office has donuts and cookies on Friday, you’ll know how to navigate your nutrition and choices for the day.
• When you have your best friend’s bridal shower, and brother’s wedding in the same month, you’ll know how to confidently balance food and fun.
• When you’re dining out with family and friends, you’ll never feel as if you need to order another bun-less burger.
• Going on a cruise and the buffet line says “eat all you want” –  you’ll know with tips to avoid coming off the ship feeling like luggage.

My coach gave me great advice and after listening to my frustrations recommended modifications for me that well help me stick with my program until I reach my actual goal weight instead of settling for less then my goal.  – BP

Highly recommend IWAS! The staff here is incredibly supportive and motivating, they really make you feel like family here. I’m working with Coach LaChanda to meet my weight loss goals through Ideal Protein and I feel so grateful to have such a knowledgeable and genuinely caring coach.

I look forward to my appointments each week and have recommended my family and friends here because I know they will be well taken care of and in good hands! – WS
