What are the 4 phases of Ideal Protein?
Whether you’re just starting your journey or ready to maintain your results, the Ideal Protein 4-Phase Protocol provides the structure, support, and science to help you succeed—long-term.
🥦 Phase 1: Weight Loss
This is the most intensive phase and where the majority of weight loss occurs. You’ll follow a low-carb, moderate-fat, and high-protein meal plan using Ideal Protein foods, along with whole vegetables and one daily meal you prepare yourself. Your body shifts into ketosis, using fat for fuel, while a coach supports you with weekly check-ins.
🥗 Phase 2: Stabilization
Once you’ve reached your goal weight, Phase 2 helps your body adjust by slowly increasing your intake of healthy carbohydrates and fats. This is a critical transition where you’ll continue to work with your coach to stabilize your weight and prepare for long-term maintenance.
🧠 Phase 3: Maintenance
Goal: Maintain your new weight and build lasting habits.
Now it’s all about long-term success. You’ll receive education and tools to make smart food choices, stay active, and maintain your ideal weight without relying on Ideal Protein foods. Ongoing support from your coach ensures accountability and confidence.
❤️ Phase 4: Lifestyle Living
You’ve learned how your body responds to different foods, how to eat for your metabolism, and how to live a balanced lifestyle. Phase 4 is about enjoying the freedom you’ve earned while staying mindful and empowered.
