Ideal Protein Helps you Lose Weight and Feel Great

Baudry Therapy Center’s Ideal Protein program works!!

If you are looking for real change, and the opportunity to look and feel GREAT come see Kathy Koehl at one of our FREE Ideal Protein seminars! You won’t regret it.

Check out what our clients are saying:

1) Dr. V  – “Doing fine. I will not go back to heavy. I am maintaining. I am regimented and usually drink a shake and have coffee in the AM. Scoop of chicken salad or tuna salad on lettuce at lunch. Maybe almonds or a protein bar at 3 or so. For dinner large salad, and or chicken, fish, steak like phase 4 with fresh vegetables steamed. I drink wine almost every night. On weekends I do what I want (within reason). Rarely drink hard liquor anymore. Exercise at least once per week but beginning more to prepare for a golf trip.”

2) Luci – “I am happy where I am and am grateful for you and think of you often. I have gained back a few pounds BUT I am the same size and all my clothes are still fitting well. I exercise regularly. I manage my weight with what IP had suggested, little or few carbs, and when I do consume they are usually wheat, but I do cheat. When I do cheat it is usually because I haven’t planned for the day.”

4) JB – ” I have kept the weight off! My diet has changed for the better. I remain active in sports and exercise and feel great. Ideal Protein and effective maintenance just makes your body MORE EFFICIENT….PERIOD!”

5) PW – “I continue to use the product as part of my weight management in maintenance. I watch my weight carefully and when I see the scale start to edge up, I get back on IP for a couple of days and the added pounds come right off. I have maintained my weight loss, active lifestyle and confidence!”

6) KAT – As an IP coach for some 15 months, I have learned a tremendous amount about nutrition, physiology, discipline and long term success. I can wholeheartedly agree with all of the above comments. I have maintained my weight loss and still fit into my ‘skinny’ jeans. The lifestyle change promotes a more efficient metabolism. Wise food choices and a commitment to exercise are the key factors. Eating ‘clean’ is the best gift you can give to yourself and your family. I do believe we will see a food revolution promoting insulin regulation in the coming years. Our culture is on the threshold of much needed change!

Track your Fitness with 4 Simple Tools

treadmill testing

Measuring performance and having goals are 2 keys to effective training.

Try these 4 easy self-assessment tools to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of your training program.

1) Strength: Strength is vital for function. A great upper body strength test is the push up. Place a 2 inch block under your chest. Record how many “good” push ups you can do. Make sure your back is flat and your body rigid.

2) Cardiovascular fitness. Cardiovascular fitness can be easily measured with a stop watch and heart monitor. Pick a running/walking distance, let’s say a mile.  Record the time to complete the run and take your heart rate. Re-test looking for improvements in speed, max heart rate and recovery time.

3) Balance/Coordination: Balance is a function of strength, mobility, and eyesight. To test, try to stand on one leg with the opposite thigh parallel to the ground. Record how long you can balance on each leg without losing your balance. If this is easy try it with your eyes closed. Measure how long you can balance.

4) Flexibility: Stand holding a dowel rod over your head. With your feet parallel to each other shoulder width apart see if your can achieve a full squat while keeping your heels down. Make a note of how far your hips can go down relative to your knees. Ideally you should be able to drop your hips below your knees.

To have an effective fitness program you need a plan. Knowing your starting point is important. Take baseline measurements, have specific goals and track your progress.

Re-test every 4-6 weeks to see if you are improving. If you are not making progress you need to re-assess your workout program.
