We all have goals and resolutions in mind when the new year comes around. A popular one involves taking better care of ourselves and embracing healthier lifestyle choices.
If this has been your resolution before, but you’ve struggled to stick to it, you’re not alone. Keeping on top of your health goals can be tough, and the only way to make it work is to find a routine that works for your lifestyle.
A local pharmacy is making healthy lifestyles more accessible to Kelowna residents by offering a tried-and-true program and individualized support along the way. Pharmasave Glenmore is very proud of their Ideal Protein program, which has been helping clients not only lose weight, but keep it off, too.
So, what makes this program different from other dieting programs? Here are some reasons why you should consider trying Ideal Protein at Pharmasave Glenmore if you are looking for a lifestyle change in 2018.
One-on-one coaching
The coaches at Pharmasave Glenmore work with clients individually to come up with a personalized plan to shed unwanted pounds and maintain an ideal weight.
“The Ideal Protein program works because it is a medically developed weight loss and weight management protocol that offers one-on-one coaching and lifestyle education to help you sustain your ideal weight,” said Elena Tostenson, an Ideal Protein lifestyle and wellness coach at Pharmasave Glenmore who has also successfully completed the program.
Pharmasave Glenmore’s Ideal Protein coaches are there for you every step of the way, from helping figure out what it is that has made you gain weight in the first place, to continuing to work with you for a year after your weight goals are reached to help you sustain your success.
Medically developed protocol
Weight loss is a science, and although support and guidance are a tremendous help when it comes to accomplishing goals, it will only take you so far. The system itself needs to make sense.
Ideal Protein is a medically developed weight loss and management protocol that aims to encourage weight loss without losing muscle mass.
The process occurs in four phases and begins with a strict meal plan of mostly protein and vegetables. Many of the meals are provided in the Ideal Protein program, with a variety of foods to choose from. Different foods are gradually re-introduced, the meal plan becomes less strict and exercise plans are put in place, all the while providing education on how to maintain a healthy, balanced diet.
This is just a quick recap of the program. For more information, explore the website or better yet, speak with a coach. Anyone reading this article is eligible for $100 off a consultation at Pharmasave Glenmore - see more details at the end of this article.
Ideal Protein trained pharmacists
If weight is a struggle for you, you may have experienced other health conditions as a result. This is where the help of pharmacists becomes a huge asset, all of which at Pharmasave Glenmore have been trained in the Ideal Protein protocol.
“Ideal protein is a physician approved program,” said Craig Tostenson, head pharmacist at Pharmasave Glenmore. “We carefully review each potential dieter's health profile and should there be any health concerns such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure to name a few, we seek the physician's approval prior to dieters starting the protocol."
“We continue to work with the dieter's physicians as we monitor and in many cases reduce prescription medications," said Craig, who, as a medical professional, is a believer in the program.
The truth is, no system is going to work for every person when it comes to losing weight and staying healthy. But if you’re determined and ready to make a few small sacrifices to achieve your goals, there’s a very good chance that Ideal Protein could work for you, as it has for many others.
"If you are ready for a positive lifestyle change, then you are ready for Ideal Protein. This weight loss program gives you the necessary tools for maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” said Lia, a Kelowna resident who has gone through the program. “Elena is an inspirational coach who really makes you believe in yourself again. She is very compassionate and motivates you along the way. I highly recommend this program, you will be happy with your results."
