Overview of Ideal Protein Protocol

Behind the weight loss method: the body has 3 sources of energy from which it draws to meet its metabolic needs: carbs, muscle, & fat.  The body 1st draws on the carbs before turning to muscle & fat.

During Ideal Protein phase 1 protocol, you carbohydrate intake is limited to encourage your body to turn to its fat & muscle reserve for energy.
