Meet Tom:
Lost 78lbs in less than 5 months!
I went on to lose 78 pounds in 4 and a half months, an average of over a half pound a day. As great as losing weight like that and experiencing those other benefits is, it’s not even the best part. More importantly is knowing how to avoid ever going back.
The entire point is to empower you with the knowledge, skills, habits and all the tools you need to be in control of your body, weight, health and life. Since the day I walked into Ideal Weight Solutions for the first time ever, my life has never been
the same!

Meet Phil:
Lost 60lbs in just 4 months!
As a registered nurse the science underlying the program really appealed to me. It was a great feeling losing weight at my age so I could worry less about my health. Not only did I feel better and lose a chronic cough I’d had for months that my doctors had been unable to help me with, but I was able to run after my two little grandsons again which I hadn’t been able to do anymore!
Meet Sheila:
Lost 40 lbs. in 7 months – NEVER going back!
47 years old, and lost 40 lbs in 7 months.
“I have been on every mainstream diet in existence since having my son 13 years ago. I would lose a few pounds, gain a few pounds, lose some more, gain some more. It was a never ending battle.
Then, I was introduced to Ideal Protein. My goal, as it has been the last 13 years, was to lose weight. Boy did, I lose weight! And, I have kept it off. But, what is even better than the weight loss is how I feel. I don’t nap anymore, have so much energy, sleep deeply at night, , and have no more aches and pains. My back doesn’t hurt my feet don’t hurt and my collarbone, which has plagued me for years doesn’t hurt!
Ideal Protein is so much more than a weight loss program. It has changed my life and I couldn’t be happier.”
Take the first step today.

Meet Dr. Ahnna
Dr. Ahnna draws her Coaching Team from past dieters on the program. All coaches receive additional training on how to best support you on the program and continuously educate you on how and why the program is working for you. During your journey you will meet more than one coach – we’ve designed it this way – so you can benefit from more than one perspective.
After struggling with her weight for most of her adult life, Dr. Ahnna finally found an effective solution to her weight-gain struggle and related medical problems – namely, a low-carb, hormonally-targeted plan. Already in preventive medicine, it was no surprise that Dr. Ahnna would immediately want to make this solution available to others. She opened her first Ideal Weight Solutions clinic 10 years ago in Stowe VT (now located in Berlin, VT) within weeks of finally achieving her own fat-loss body transformation dream. This clinic was soon followed by several more clinics in the region and eventually Portland, Maine.
She has consolidated her services into three clinics (Berlin, Vt, Burlington, VT, and Scarborough, ME) and her new Virtual Clinic service
“I spent years fighting to lose the weight that was plaguing me – and only got heavier and sicker – until I realized I was using the wrong formula!
Once I discovered the right formula for weight loss that corrects health, my life changed forever. Come learn what I learned!”

FAQ’s
How long will I be on the diet?
What is the Ideal Protein diet?
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is a supervised, modified ketogenic diet plan. The diet’s design greatly improves on older keto diets by integrating new scientific research on weight loss and human physiology.
The program is low-carbohydrate and low-fat, supplying all the necessary protein and micronutrients needed to protect muscle mass (and thereby keep your metabolism high) while burning fat at maximum speed. The protocol has three phases which first help you reset your body to burn fat, next teach you how to stabilize your weight, and then support and educate you on maintaining your weight loss going forward.
The program was designed over 20 years ago by Dr. Chahn Tran Tien, a medical doctor trained in France, who drew on his training in medicine, clinical nutrition and sports medicine to develop this well-respected weight loss plan, now available in over 12 countries.
Ideal Weight Solutions (IWS) is an authorized Ideal Protein clinic.
What does the program cost?
The program – including all coaching support, specialty foods and supplements – costs roughly $18/day. This includes our supplying you with your breakfast, lunch protein and snack. You will only be responsible for purchasing 4 – 8 oz of fresh protein and 4 cups of vegetables on top of this daily. We encourage you to think of the cost of the Protocol as part of your grocery bill. Most people discover they spend less overall on groceries and outside-the-home food costs while on the program.
This is a keto diet, isn’t it?
For those who prefer not to (or cannot) embark on a keto diet (such as Type 1 diabetics) we have an Alternative Plan which is low carbohydrate but does not put the dieter into ketosis.
