Dr. Tran. Tien Chanh

Co-Founder

The Ideal protein weight loss method was co-developed by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, MD PhD in France over 25 years ago. Dr Tran began his professional path as a general practitioner and sports physician, but later redirected his focus on nutrition and obesity-related issues. Having known that weight loss was essential in treating certain illnesses and conditions, Dr. Tran’s journey in creating the Ideal Protein Protocol began.

Proven, Effective Weight Loss

The Science Behind the Protocol

Ideal Protein is a medically designed and researched ketogenic protocol in which the body goes into ketosis and burns fat for energy, instead of carbohydrates. Treating food as medicine, it uses a structured meal plan that stabilizes blood sugar levels while burning fat, supporting muscle mass and ensuring lifelong maintenance. With such a studied and purposeful lifestyle transformation, anything becomes possible.

Treating Food as Medicine

The Forefront of Success

The backbone of Ideal Protein is its gourmet meal plan developed by professional chefs. A huge variety of fresh, wholesome and delicious meals make staying on-track easy. Every single meal contains the nutrition to keep you full and satiated throughout every phase of the protocol. From warm, hearty main dishes to tasty desserts and snacks, every meal can be easily incorporated into a busy lifestyle.

One-on-One Support

Stay on Track & Reach Your Goals

The Ideal Protein program is designed to help you lose weight and keep it off. Each week, you’ll check in with your very own personal coach for support, encouragement, and guidance – this gives your journey structure and accountability! On a weekly basis, your coach will weigh, measure and perform a body composition analysis to ensure you are burning fat and maintaining lean muscle mass.

Ideal Protein’s

3 Phases

Phase 1: Weight Loss

Burn fat & lose weight.

During phase 1, your body goes into ketosis: a natural state where your body burns stored fat for fuel. This is stimulated by a delicious high protein and low carb meal plan. Here, you will lose weight at a healthy and consistent pace.

Phase 2: Stabilization

Build healthy, sustainable habits.

After significant weight loss, the body wants to gain back all of that lost weight. This is known as an energy gap, and it’s where the body desires more calories than are physically required. This makes maintaining weight loss difficult. During phase 2, your intake of protein, fat and carbs is adjusted to ensure greater satiety and weight loss maintenance.

Phase 3: Maintenance

Live the life you deserve.

During the first 12 months after stabilization, your coach will continue to provide you with encouragement, education and support along the way. To help you stay on track, regular check-ins are made easy via the app and Wi-Fi scale. We also encourage two semi-annual “tune-ups” during the maintenance phase.

Weight Loss

You can’t lose weight to love yourself, you have to love yourself to lose weight. - Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, Ideal Protein Co-Founder

Losing weight is transformative in many ways. It leads to a healthier daily life, a more responsive immune system and a healthier heart; among countless other benefits. At Ideal care Pharmacy, we are one of the thousands of clinics around the world offering the Ideal Protein program – a protocol scientifically developed to help you lose weight and make permanent lifestyle changes. It’s important to realize that excess weight is not your fault and is largely due to hormone-related metabolic problems or your individual physical makeup. But why is losing weight so hard?

Finding the Root Cause of Weight Gain

According to Dr. Tran, “the cause of most weight issues in modern society is insulin dysfunction. A diet grossly disproportionate in its share of saturated fats and sugars, such as in breads, cereals, muffins, cakes, pastries, pasta, pizza, rice, corn – very much like the North American diet – causes the pancreas to produce an overabundance of insulin, which stays in the system and puts the blood sugar level in a negative balance.”

With a high-carb diet and too much sugar intake, an overproduction of insulin will lead to hypoglycemia or low glycemic levels. This is what triggers sugar cravings and weight gain. Insulin’s main role is to regulate blood sugar levels, as well as transport fat into fat cells, after which it locks the fat inside the cell. When blood sugar drops and fat can’t be accessed to be used as energy, it stimulates an ongoing cycle of sugar cravings. In other words, sugar addiction is not your fault.

Obesity in Today’s World

According to an Obesity in Canada report, approximately one in four Canadian adults are obese, with measured height and weight data from 2007-2009. On average, obese individuals also have a higher risk for:

Cancers
Heart disease
Dyslipidemia
Gynecological problems
Hypertension
Liver and gallbladder problems
Osteoarthritis
Type II diabetes

FAQS

What is ketosis?

Ketosis is a healthy, natural metabolic process. Once carbs are restricted and the body can’t burn them for energy, it takes about 3-4 days for the body to go into ketosis. During this phase, your body begins to burn fat for use as energy. Because you’ll be monitored, measured and weighed by your coach on a weekly basis, you’ll be able to ask questions and feel safe all throughout your journey.

What does it feel like to be on the Ideal Protein program?

The Ideal Protein program is designed to educate you so you can make smart lifestyle choices and maintain a healthy weight long-term. Throughout the program, you will feel supported, encouraged and motivated so you can stay on track! You’ll get to enjoy delicious meals that are practical, easy to prepare and contribute to you reaching your goal weight.

I love carbs. Will I feel restricted on a ketogenic diet?

While ketogenic diets are light on carbs, they consist of many other rich and satiating options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It’s ideal to set aside carb-heavy meals for special occasions to avoid disturbing your body’s state of ketosis. After you’ve reached your goal weight, your coach will educate you on how to reintroduce carbs, maintain a consistent weight and make choices that don’t make you feel restricted.
