My staff and I have had the pleasure of meeting you at Doctors Educational events (CME/CE) or at Joy To Life sponsored educational workshops for patients, at your doctors office location. You had requested a follow-up of information on our Ideal Protein protocol and for Doctors, how business benefits with positive outcomes for your patients. When I was asked, "how Joy To Life helps doctors and health professionals", my response was "we increase patient satisfaction, referrals, and patient health results!"

Dr. Bill Frank is a prime example of the Joy To Life services we provide for him and his patients.

“I was honored when asked by managing director of “Joy To Life©” weight loss centers Bob Ehmann, to write how my experience with the Ideal Protein Diet© worked with my family, patients, and me.
I must admit I was skeptical when first approached in February 2008 and finally agreed to begin the protocol in March. After all, I was approached by many diet plans, pills, drinks, powders, and exercise programs, over my thirteen years of practice. What was impressive was the physiology, Endocrinology, and nutritional components of the protocol which made me comfortable in knowing of its success in eight other countries for the past twenty-three years.
As a health professional, there are many direct health consequences I have seen both neurologically, and musculoskeletal, from obesity issues that are diminishing the quality of life of my patients.
I have since lost over 85 pounds and with my patients, have a good understanding that once I meet my target weight loss, how to keep it off!”

According to Health and Human services 60% of North Americans are overweight and 42% are OBESE leading to health issues related to DIABETES, CHOLESTEROL DISORDER, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. All known as the "Deadly Quartet" or syndrome X!

Cost of Obesity
Research proves that people could live longer and healthier at an ideal body weight. The average American has gained around 8 pounds in the past 10 years. LSU researchers estimate that “the direct costs of obesity in the United States is now at 39.3 billion dollars a year. That is more than 5% of all medical costs.”
Market Data Enterprises says, “Americans spend another $38 billion a year trying to lose weight.”
Other researchers report that after a four and a half year study “the costs of long-term weight loss on one popular very-low-calorie diet program was $286.36 per pound”!! Long-term weight loss is not only expensive, but very hard to attain.
Obesity is not just a concern of a morbidly obese person. The problems affect society as a whole since obesity contributes to the incidence of chronic disease. According to the Surgeon General “Obesity, with its rank among the top ten diseases, may be America's number-one contributor to health care costs.”

A great question from our patient Dr. Jim E. writes;

"My measurments are not changing and the weight is flat lining. I still can only do minimal exercise and I take mostly the morning vitamins, plus more b-complex and Vit-c. I should be loosing more than 29lbs in 7 weeks on the Joy To Life- Ideal Protein Diet. What seems to be the problem?"

From Mike Ciell, R. Ph (Chief Science Officer Ideal Protein)

Dr. Jim E.,

First be reassured Jim you are doing fine: You may want to talk with your Health coach about our "COMANDO BOOT CAMP" protocol designed to shake-up plateaus and for ladies, the cellulite. You have been on the program for 7 weeks now and down 29 lbs...that's about 4 lbs./week. So, if you stay on the program for a year that's over 200 lbs! And that's loosing WAY faster than you gained it (plus you loosing fat, not muscle..no other diet can do this).

Do not stress about the calories: if you lose 4 lbs a week that's (4x 3500 Kcal = 14,000 Kcal per week). Divide by 7 days = -2000 Kcal per day. Now add in say 700-900 Kcal that you are eating per day, which would translate into a total calorie loss of 2700 Kcal per day in order to lose 4 lbs per week. I doubt your resting metabolic rate is this high, even with very light exercise, which means you are in strong ketosis and are "peeing out some calories".
We could increase physical activity but I would say not to.....why get stressed out, let's wait till you gets down some more...be as comfortable as possible. This is a long term comittment..not a race (what's the hurry...to go back to eating the way you want?)

NOT LOOSING INCHES?:

Understand that in really obese folks they basically have more fat per square inch of surface area. An obese guy with 20" arms will have more fat (calories stored) than a person with 14" diameter arms. This means the big guy will see a slower decrease in diameter because there's "more fat per inch". It's like a roll of paper towels, if you start pulling sheets off a new roll AT A STEADY RATE... the diameter of the roll will decrease slowly at first, then accelerate as the diameter decreases.....THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH JIM.....if he sticks to it.
