The wonderful thing about the Ideal Protein diet is that you can use it at any time in your life. Â It is natural and normal for the body to gain weight over the year. Â Most people gain about 5lbs a year (you never hear anyone say that they lose 5 lbs a year).
So you’ve finished the protocol and met your goal. Â Perhaps you go on a big vacation (one of those all inclusive) and come back with some extra weight on. Â Don’t procrastinate, get back on the protocol for a week or two. Â If you have less than 10lbs to lose, you can do a week or two of Phase 1, a short Phase 2, and short Phase 3 and you will have lost the weight in no time.
Once a year we recommend a reset to reset the pancreas and burn off the unwanted extra pounds. Â I recommend you keep some IP food on hand for emergencies and to help you keep your weight under control.
I recently went to the Bahamas and enjoyed myself a little bit too much. Â So, a week of Phase 1, couple days on Phase 2 and 3 and I’m back to where I want to be!
