A great experience with Chip and Matt

Gary B, Folsom

5/5

A great experience with Chip and Matt. I am learning to plan nutritious meals that taste good. Lots of fresh veggies and lean meat fill me up. And the bonus is losing the weight that I have never had success doing with other weight loss plans. The support and resources are very valuable.

From 308lbs to 185lbs

John S.

5/5
Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol and more importantly Matthew Parker are life savers.  I’m one of many who have struggled with weight my entire life. Was 200+ lbs. as a 14-year old, and over 300 lbs. (topping out at about 375) for most of my life.

. I’ve tried many things to lose weight including ignoring the many problems associated to being obese. Once I met Matt and signed on with Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol my entire life changed.  In a little over 6 months I’m down from 308 to 185 and never been healthier. Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol is a diet, but the coaching sessions with Matt are what really make the difference. IP and Matt teach you how all the garbage you’re shoveling into your body is ruining your health and physique. The lifestyle change was challenging for about a week, then as the pounds start to literally melt off your body it gets easier, and Matt is always there to smooth out any rough spots. If you’re ready to change your life and become a healthy person, give Matt a call! You won’t be sorry.

Ideal Plan works!

Tammy D, Folsom

5/5
Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol works! I’ve been yo yo dieting for years until I said “enough!” I heard about Matt and his program through a few of my coworkers and at first I was skeptical, but when I saw the results and how they were able to keep the weight off I knew I had to give the program a try! Now I’m a much healthier (and lighter!) person who knows what to put into my body.
Matt is supportive through the whole program and is always a phone call/text message/e-mail away and he even checks in with you from time to time after you’re done. If you’re looking for a weight loss program that works and has long term results you can stop looking! Thank you Matt and the Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol program!

Recently met my goal and am pushing myself to lose an extra 5lbs

Liz Hughes

5/5
Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality I found out about Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol through friends and joined a year after they had completed their weight loss journey. I have found Chip and Matt to be excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable coaches.

They know the program well, boosted me up on weeks when pound losses were low, but inch losses were high. They are quick to give support, advice or just cheer me along. I recently met my goal and am pushing myself to lose an extra 5lbs. They communicate efficiently and effectively, text reminders, emails and the occasional recipe suggestion. The program itself is a no brainer – just “Follow the Sheet” and the weight falls away. Give it a try, easiest program I’ve followed ever!

This is honestly the easiest program I have ever been on.

Cheryl Cowan

5/5
Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol has changed my life! I watched two of my friends shrinking monthly and just had to find out their secret. That’s when they told me about this incredibly easy to follow program that came with weekly support. I am a serious food addict. I used to wake up and plan my days around my next meal.

I am 45 years old, a wife, and a working mom with four kids. I knew I was obese but couldn’t find the right program to fit into my busy lifestyle. I have suffered from lower back pain for several years, and recently my feet began to ache from standing all day at work. I have had a year-round cough most of my adult years. The thought of trying to lose 80, even 50 lbs. just seemed too overwhelming! After watching my friends shrink before my eyes, I thought why not give Matt and Chip a call? My first call with Chip gave me hope and I knew I had to give it a try! It’s been 12 weeks now, and I am happy to report that I am down 40 lbs. and over 20″‘s lost! If someone had told me that in less than 3 months, I could be 40 lbs. lighter, I never would have believed them! This is honestly the easiest program I have ever been on. Not to mention – the food is delicious! My back pain is gone, my cough is completely gone and so is my foot pain. My energy is through the roof. I am even sleeping better at night. Matt and Chip are incredible to work with. They are supportive, easy to reach, and very knowledgeable. Having my food addiction under control has changed my life! I have more time for my family, my friends, and I can’t wait to see where this journey will take me. Thank you, Matt and Chip, for all your love and support. Let’s do this!

I started the protocol in August, I have never dieted before and after three kids I decided to lose the extra weight I gain. I lost a total of 32 lbs. and feel good and healthy again! Chip and Matt were supportive the process. I recommend this to anyone looking to lose weight, it works, and the products taste really good, so you barely think you are in a diet.

Ideal Plan is freaking amazing!

Matt Goodell

5/5
Ideal Plan is freaking amazing! I’m a 40ish male with typical dad-bod that finally said enough to the “gut” and 220lb weight. I was done with being “just okay”. But what can I do …? I’m not a cook, never really done a diet, super picky food eater, and always had a struggle with food will power. Could there really be something out there to help me? Well hello IP … during my journey on the step-by-step program I lost 45 pounds and found my “high school body” all over again!

I kept it basic in the beginning and throughout, eating only the foods I enjoyed (and there are plenty of options). The coaches (Chip and Matt) were super supportive and helpful every moment along the way. In the end I found an appreciation, understanding and patience regarding food. Let’s just say I started a “functional relationship” with food. I learned how to prepare, cook, and have fun with meals. Literally, changed my life. Before – X-Large shirts and 38” waist pants. After – Medium shirts and 30” pants. But not only the physical changes, it’s the enjoyment of activities, others, and having the best life ever! So, check it out and let them know I sent you … I don’t get anything for it, except knowing my story made an impact on your decision. Don’t wait until tomorrow, or the 1st or January – call them now and find the old/new you! Good Luck.

Ideal Protein and the folks at Ideal Plan helped me achieve something I have never been able to do

Anne R.

5/5
Ideal Protein and the folks at Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol helped me achieve something I have never been able to do after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting. I REACHED MY GOAL! Now, my goal weight may not be what others consider their healthy weight, but hey I am no longer grossly lying about my weight on my driver’s license!
My focus now is to maintain my weight while building muscle and continuing to decrease my overall body fat. ACCOUNTABILITY – this is what drove me to success. I didn’t want to let myself down, waste my money and go to my clinic weigh-ins only to be disappointed. So, I ate the “sheet” and didn’t cheat! Following the Ideal Protein guidelines to the book helped me to end a very long cycle of all-day grazing. I work from home and would find myself eating breakfast and lunch at my desk and grazing over a 2-4 hour period. I stopped all of this with guidance and support from Matt and Chip. I won’t say that the approximately 7 months it took me to lose 75 lbs. was easy because every day (for me was a struggle). I have read a lot of other Ideal Protein testimonials and most folks don’t struggle once they have gotten through the first few weeks of the program. I unfortunately struggle with food sensitivities and this limited my ability to eat a wide variety of the Ideal Protein foods. It also took a very long time for my body to get use to not grazing all day. Matt and Chip are great! They show true concern and empathy for their clients and I feel like I have made two new friends who supported me fully in my quest to lose weight. If you don’t cheat, I think the program is very reasonably priced and better than that, it really works if you stick to it. Weight loss is not the only benefits I am now enjoying. As someone who suffers from chronic backpain I am experiencing a lot more pain free days than I have in over 10 years. I have more energy to keep up with my son and all-day trips to a theme park would once wipe me out after the first few hours. I can now last the whole day with no foot pain or body aches. I am wearing a size of clothing that I haven’t fit in since High School! I was boarder line diabetic when I started Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol in late March and by the end of April my A1C numbers were normal! Overall, I am happier and healthier!  “Anne went on to lose a total of 75 pounds on our program!”

I was able to lose over 50 lbs

J Vassios

5/5
Matt and Chip with Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol are great, as is the program they provide. I had gained a significant amount of weight, and with this program I was able to lose over 50 lbs in just about four months. It has also lowered my blood pressure and resting heart rate as well. The food that is provided is good, and I was never hungry during the program.
I am now the lightest I have been in the last 10 years thanks to the Ideal Protein program. In addition to the program they provide, Matt and Chip are always easy to access and supportive. There were multiple times that I had questions in the evenings or on weekends, and they were always quick to respond. I am hoping to keep all of this weight off, and I feel that Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol has made this possible. I have already recommended Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol to several friends and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone else!

Been able to get weight off FAST

Ana Montoya

5/5

I cannot say enough positive things about this program! All you need is determination and Chip and Matt have the rest. Not only have I been able to get weight off FAST, after failing with many other diets, but it has created a healthier lifestyle. When I first started the program, I started working with Matt. My next meeting, I was greeted with open arms by Chip. 

The team here at Roseville is AWESOME! Chip and matt work GREAT together to help YOU! Their teamwork allows for them to be available to you at any time with whatever issue you throw at them. The food is AMAZING! My fiancé is constantly telling me that he doesn’t understand how I’m losing so much weight eating brownies and dorados, not to mention he is always asking for bites….. every time I have needed something Matt and chip are a text away! Not to mention their quick responses. They worry about YOU and are there to accommodate YOU. Never once has it been an issue to reschedule an appointment or come in ASAP when you hit a road bump. Personality I experience many side effects from this program, totally normal with what your baby is going thru, but chip and matt were always there to help with the solution. This journey has been amazing when you have people like chip and matt supporting you!! I cannot thank them enough for helping me gain confidence, happiness, new clothes and a healthier lifestyle!! Thank you!!!

I feel fabulous and have learned so much about changing how I eat

Lynn Bovee

5/5
I have done every diet there is and several that were hoaxes. But after going to Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol in Roseville, I am happily down to a weight I haven’t been at since my kids were born. I feel fabulous and have learned so much about changing how I eat. I threw away all my larger clothes because I will never need them again after years of yo-yo dieting!

How do you express your gratitude when you feel you’ve gotten your life back? My answer is to keep the weight off, which I am doing. Matt & Chip were the best team, so supportive and caring. The plan was easy to follow – no weighing, etc. and the food was good too. I wish you good luck on your loss journey!

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality

I cannot say enough good things about the diet protocol itself, but moreover Chip and Matt, my coaches. They check in all the time and are always available text when I have questions about serving sizes. 

The food is really good, and I don’t feel like I’m ever going hungry even though it’s low in calories. I’ve lost over 20 lbs. so far and feel so encouraged after trying so many things that weren’t working for me.

This was 55 lbs of loss

Charles G.

5/5

I’ve always done fairly well dieting on my own but in the last couple years my metabolism slowed to the point that I was unable to consistently stop the steady gain. I went into the program with an open mind and did what I was told to do. 

As a result, I exceeded my goal and matched the weight I had been in high school! This was 55 lbs of loss in less than six months. Impressively in the couple months since I have not gained any weight and have found it easy to maintain. I have not tried other professional programs, but I do like the emphasis on low carb/low sugar and healthy choices as opposed to straight calorie counting.

I highly recommend this program. If you follow it you will reach any goal you set. They have the structure, the food, and the support to make it happen. Best thing I’ve done for my life in years.

I started at 302.4 pounds and am currently 195

Kamron Math

5/5

My name is Kamron Math Batstone and I am 22 years old. I started Ideal Protein on November 5th, 2016 because I am getting married in October 2017. I started at 302.4 pounds and am currently 195 (I’m also 6 feet tall). That’s a total of 107.4 pounds! I was unhappy and ashamed of who I let myself become and how I let myself go. It has been about 8-9 years since I have been this weight. The last time I was this weight was when I was 15-16 years old! 

My clothes fit amazing and I am now a size MEDIUM! I never knew fitting in a size medium was even possible for me. I didn’t know that losing over 100 pounds would help me feel so much more confident and happier. I can wear a dress without a cardigan to go over it because I am confident in my arms now. I can wear shorts and not be afraid that people will stare at my cellulite (because there isn’t any anymore!). I have such better energy now and my sleep patterns are finally normal thanks to IP. My favorite foods (on program) were ANY of the chocolate bars, the Dorados, and the chocolate shake mix. Chip and Matt were my coaches and let’s just be honest- they were the ones who helped me each week to continue my weight loss journey and they supported me every step of the way. I looked forward to Chip’s hugs once a week and Matt’s smile. My appreciation for healthy foods has grown so much. I no longer have the need or want for “bad food.” When I do have “bad food” I can feel the difference in my body and quite frankly- (it’s not even that good tasting anymore). I have definitely noticed a difference in my taste buds- they crave healthy foods now! I love it. I owe my life to IP and my coaches because they sure made it longer by helping me and motivating me. I would have died (because of my nutrition) if it wasn’t for them.

I heard about Ideal Protein from two friends who are sisters. Not only do both women look great, they look vibrant and healthy. I began the program seven weeks ago. I have lost 19.4 pounds and 13 inches! I am confident I will my weight in a timely manner. I like Ideal Protein because it is a four-phase program. 

Phase one is the weight loss phase. Phase four is learning about eating healthy for life. I encourage anyone struggling with food and weight loss to contact Matt and Chip and see if Ideal Protein fits your personal weight and health goals.

Let me start by saying this is not a diet. This is a program that changes your relationship with food and the results are that you will lose weight! I have tried every fad diet out there and never had results. 

I love this program because it’s so easy and the food is delicious. Chip and Matt are the coaches and they are so helpful! If you are ready to lose weight and you are willing to change…. I highly recommend you start this plan.

Khaled Aboutaleb

5/5
I came to Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol at the end of my rope, I had struggled for years with every fad diet under the sun with no weight loss. Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol has been a game changer- in just 20 weeks, I was able to lose 52lbs. the difference for me has been the ongoing support from Matt and Chip, they are both so knowledgeable, reachable and inspirational. The weekly check-ins keep me accountable and on track.
Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol has truly helped transform my unhealthy eating habits and guide me to a whole new way of eating. I feel the change in my energy level and no more back and knees pain. I am much more active and can keep up with all my active habits.  It’s been almost 10 years since I have been at this weight and I still can’t believe it

Ideal Plan worked quickly and effectively for me (50lbs).

Henry H

5/5
I’ve tried other diets and exercise programs, but only Ideal Plan / Ideal Protocol worked quickly and effectively for me (50lbs in 4mos). If you follow the program 100% and stick with it, you will lose the weight.

I’ve been in the maintenance phase for a couple of months after leaving the program, and I’m still within a pound of my target weight even after gorging at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s parties. I’m eating healthier and can still enjoy the occasional treats.Matt & Chip are the coaches who I believe made me so successful in losing the weight and keeping it off. They are extremely supportive and positive with a wealth of information and tips. I signed up for their gut health program at the same time, and that was also a great success making me feel better and stronger.
