Eating Out on Ideal Protein
I went out to dinner last night. Ordered the mahi mahi – no problem so far. Then it comes time for dessert. My two companions ordered dessert, but I told the waiter no thanks. When he delivers the desserts, he decides that I shouldn’t be left out and brings me a hot fudge sundae! I…

Negative Comments from the People we Love
I haven’t seen some of my relatives since I started Ideal Protein. They immediately noticed my weight loss, and gave me some great compliments. That was all fantastic!

Weigh In Day
Well, tomorrow is weigh in day and I’m not sure what to expect. I was on vacation last week. Skiing! Which was great! I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. But I’ll admit that I wasn’t all that great about sticking to the program. When I got back home and my visitors departed, I…

My Diet Journey 2/28/13
Welcome to the first post of my diet journey! Two things happened that sent me on the search to join Reformation Body Solutions in Los Gatos for Ideal Protein. First, I was traveling to New England over the holidays. While there, I met up with an old friend. She looked fantastic! I quizzed her about…
