TESTIMONIAL (Ideal Protein)
Dr. Ryan,
I would like to say thank you to you and your staff.
As you know, I started the Ideal Protein Diet just over a year ago and in October I achieved my personal goal. I cannot tell you how life changing that has been....Ok, I confess, I was a bit skeptical at first..and the thought of my food...(coming from an individual who obviously loves to cook..and eat!) coming from a packet was a bit daunting and shall we say, less than "Ideal" to me. I attended the information meeting and gave serious thought to beginning the program, three hundred dollars, giving up my Diet Coke was truly a moment of panic!! I drank 6 cans of Diet Coke a day!..give it up??? you've got to be kidding me..for heaven’s sake..it's DIET!!, purchasing the food packets..giving up Diet Coke, eating only vegetables and meat for an eternity..giving up my Diet Coke..those were all things to take into consideration before making the commitment. And this is a committment. It requires you to be honest with yourself, admit you need help, admit your health is in danger and the life you live can be better..and that you are not willing to continue on the path of self destruction that got you into this situation in the first place..and finally realizing that the life you are settling for now, can be changed forever..if only you will make the commitment.
So, I gave up the breads, sugars, Diet Coke, breaded meats, sweets, chocolates, pies, cookies, cheese cake, Diet Coke...and I followed the diet to the letter..never once cheating, because, the only person I would be cheating was me...and if you will cheat yourself...well, let's not go there.
But, now as I sit here and count the many things I have back...hmmmm, let's see:
1) My blood tests are REALLY GOOD!! - as you will recall, after you saw my test results for the first time, your exact words to me were "Your blood work is horrible!" - Thank you for being honest
2) My energy level is over the top
3) One of my goals was to be able to exercise again..and I can and do!
4) It's REALLY fun to shop again...instead of shopping for clothes to hide the bumps and bulges, I actually get to shop for clothes that are fashionable and fun!
5) I sleep 10 times better than before
6) My acid indigestion is gone..have not had one bout since I began the diet
7) I found out I can live without Diet Coke..not one soda of any kind in over a year now..and as far as that goes, no carbonated drinks of any kind
8) My husband tells me how good I look almost everyday..you can imagine that payoff...for both of us!
9) My grandchildren can give me a hug..all the way around!
10)All of my new friends at your office...Anna is truly a God send...as well as all the ladies..they are so supportive and complimentary..it helps to keep your eye on the goal.
and...let's not mention the well over 100 pounds that I am no longer packing around.
I'm still following the program, still keeping my weight off, still coming in for a check in - weigh in every once in a while..still purchasing the Cappuccino packets..this is my new addiction, replacing the diet coke..still love the feeling of feeling well.
Well, I have gone way over what I was going to say, thank you for your time.
Hope all is well for you and I will see you soon.
