Why Do We Gain Weight?
Dr. Tran Tien’s research identified the primary factors in the American diet that contribute to weight gain and obesity—an overabundance of simple and complex carbohydrates from foods such as soda, alcohol, bread, pasta, rice, high-fructose corn syrup, and sweets cause the pancreas to overproduce the hormone insulin.
Insulin helps regulate the level of glucose (blood sugar) in the bloodstream. When a high carbohydrate meal is consumed, insulin goes to work to help remove glucose from the bloodstream storing it in tissue cells to be used as a fuel source. If you are not exercising and utilizing this storage source of fuel, weight gain will arise as the excess carbohydrates are continuously being converted and stored as fat throughout the body.
Elevated levels of insulin, caused by diets high in carbohydrates, can also suppress two other important hormones—glucagon and growth hormone. Glucagon and growth hormone are responsible for burning fat and sugar and promoting the development of muscle. The result is an increase in adipose (fat) cells, weight gain and loss of muscle mass.
Consuming an unbalanced diet that is high in sugar and carbohydrates can also increase sugar and carbohydrate cravings. Following the consumption of simple carbohydrates, a surge of insulin causes of the levels of blood glucose to drop rapidly—this results in hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. Excess levels of insulin in the blood (hyperinsulinemia) followed by hypoglycemia triggers the body to want to consume more sugar or high carbohydrate foods creating a vicious cycle of hunger pangs, sugar/carb cravings, fat storage and weight gain.
What Is Ideal Protein?
Ideal Protein is a medically-designed program originally pioneered by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh that targets weights loss through nutrition and lifestyle changes. The program is developed from over 20 years of medical and nutrition research into insulin dysfunction and weight gain.
The Ideal Protein diet is a low calorie, low carbohydrate, protein-based, ketogenic protocol that is supplemented with partial meal replacements. It takes a step beyond normal weight loss programs by offering personalized support, daily coaching videos, healthy and delicious meals and shakes, and recipes and cooking videos to help guide you through your weight loss program.
How Does the Ideal Protein Program Work?
The main goal of the Ideal Protein program is to achieve weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and utilize its own fat reserves. The Ideal Protein protocol restricts simple and complex carbohydrates until the weight loss goal is achieved. This is crucial for enabling the body to burn its own fat.
The Ideal Protein protocol simultaneously supports muscle mass reserves and satiety throughout the day by incorporating high-quality protein products into one’s diet. The use of high-quality protein products ensures the digestion and absorption of protein in order to maintain the composition of muscle mass while burning fat.
The program also provides nutrient-rich dietary supplements to replace any nutrients normally found in foods that are restricted on the Ideal Protein protocol.
