“Effect of Ideal Protein versus low-fat diet for weight loss: A randomized controlled trial”

Camilo A. Fernandez, MD, Kaitlin Potts, Lydia A. Bazzano, MD, PhD

A new, peer-reviewed study published in Obesity Science & Practice, led by Tulane University, compared the Ideal Protein dietary behavioral intervention (IP system) to a standard, guideline-based, low-calorie, low-fat (LCLF) dietary behavioral intervention.¹·²The 3-month trial assigned 192 adult participants with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 and ≤49 kg/m2, to either the Ideal Protein Phase 1 diet or LCLF diet interventions.¹

Reported Primary Endpoint (body weight)

“The IP system resulted in statistically significant greater weight loss among men and women with obesity and additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD).” ¹(Comparison of mean weight loss in kg between participants in the IP group vs the LCLF group, at 3 months). Clustered column graph depicting average weight at baseline and 3-month follow-up for each dietary intervention group, respectively.

er term.”¹

Reported Secondary Endpoints:

Although both groups saw improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, there were significant between-group differences favoring the IP Group, which “experienced greater improvements in waist and hip circumference, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.”

Results of the remaining secondary outcomes for the IP group were equal to or exhibited more favorable trends than the LCLF group, although some did not reach statistical significance in either group.

The study concludes that “this 3-month randomized, parallel group trial showed that the IP system resulted in greater weight loss and reduction in several CVD risk factors than a guideline-based LCLF dietary behavioral intervention among black and white adults with obesity and additional CVD risk factors. Thus, the IP system appears to be a safe and efficacious way to lose weight and reduce CVD risk factors among men and women with obesity and additional CVD risk factors. Further research is warranted to examine outcomes over the longer term.”¹’²

Scientific Advisory Board

Board-certified physicians continually review the Protocol based on the latest research, publish clinical guidance, and offer peer consults for complex cases.

Medically Designed Protocol

Ideal Protein is a structured three-phase Protocol designed for long-term weight maintenance. The Weight Loss phase is designed to optimize fat loss through nutritional ketosis, a safe and natural metabolic state in which the body’s primary fuel source comes from ketone bodies – energy molecules produced by “burning fat.”

Medically Designed Protocol

Stabilization and Maintenance Plans

In Stabilization, we gradually reintroduce healthy carbs to help the body adapt and maintain its new weight. In Maintenance, personalized coaching and ongoing support empowers clients to develop lasting, mindful eating habits for long-term success.
