Testimonials

Best thing ever!

I started with Ideal Health on January 8, 2015.  I was nervous and somewhat a little overwhelmed.  I had never tried a program like Ideal Protein.  Stephanie assured me that I could do it.  She was very helpful and supportive on helping me plan my meals and snacks.  It was even during the Superbowl play-offs, and the Patriots were in the running–that meant lots of food and drinks on Sunday! 🙂  I was able to create smart choices and still have a good time with family and friends and not feel left out.

The daily videos and recipes were extremely helpful.  I watched them while I had breakfast and it was my motivation for the day.  I learned new recipes and new ways to enjoy my veggies.

The pounds came off easily and consistently.  People were noticing and I felt great both physically and mentally. The program is easy to follow and the food is tasty.  The best part is that you have somone there to help and support you through it all.  Stephanie showed me how to order in restaurants and get through birthday parties and even my son’s wedding!  I stayed on track through it all and I am maintaining my weight loss several months after I have reached my goal.

40 lbs. in 3 Months!

The best way to predict the future is to create it!  What I mean by this is Last summer, I was sitting in a computer chair with no motivation and weighing 230 pounds.  I was so insecure that I would only leave the house to go to school.

Today, thanks to Stephanie Edwards and Ideal Health, I stand at 190 pounds, 40 pounds lighter and Loving it! I work out every day and LOVE it, not only because I have to but because it has become a way of life for me. I believe if you work out, eat well and be patient, your body will reward you.

About 3 years ago, I was on medication which made me gain 20 lbs. on top of the 20 lbs.that I needed to lose prior to the medication!

About 3 years ago, I was on medication which made me gain 20 lbs. on top of the 20 lbs. that I needed to lose prior to the medication. When I got off the medication, I was up 40 lbs. and felt horrible. I tried to lose the weight for the past couple of years on other programs and have had no success with the program and even with exercising 3 to 4 days per week. My daughter got engaged in December 2011 and was getting married in August 2012, and I felt I needed to lose the weight because I did not want to look the way I did in her wedding pictures and felt horrible about myself every time I looked at her pictures.

After I read an Ideal Health newsletter in May 2012, I decided I needed to try the Ideal Protein Program. I was on the program for 4 months and lost a little over 40 lbs. and went from a size 14-16 to a size 6. I stuck with the program, and I lost an average of 3 to 4 lbs. per week. I have a lot more energy and a lot more stamina for my Cardio Boxing classes I take 3 times a week and I feel great!!! Each week I was amazed at not only the weight that I lost, but the inches that were coming off. I could not believe how quickly it came off.

If you stick to the program, you will get the results and the rewards are so much greater than you can imagine!!!! I want to thank Stephanie at Ideal Health, LLC for helping me reach my goal and feel the best I have felt in a very long time!!!! I would highly recommend this program to everyone as it really WORKS!!! The key is that you really have to WANT to Succeed!!!!

Ideal Health/Ideal Protein…well big surprise to me, it is also “Ideal Weight!

When I went to the meeting, along with a friend, I didn’t expect to see the results I received… Full testimonial: Ideal Health/Ideal Protein…well big surprise to me, it is also “Ideal Weight”! When I went to the meeting, along with a friend, I didn’t expect to see the results I received. I felt like “here we go again” another try and failure. I followed the program exactly as detailed.

The weight came off quickly at first, then slow and, stead—losing not only the pounds but inches. I am now on the Phase 4 (the maintenance phase) and feel great! I get compliments everywhere I go. It took me only 10 weeks to get to the desired weight with no exercise.

I went from stretching a size 14 to a comfortable size 8. It is so much better to put something on and find it is too big, rather than too small!!! It is comforting to know that I can return any time if the weight starts creeping back on, but feel pretty confident that will not be necessary as I have also learned how to make healthier choices. I would recommend this program to everyone…A big thank you to my Coach Stephanie!

About four years ago, my weight began to increase at an alarming rate. I was undergoing fertility treatments that helped me to pack on nearly 30 lbs!

About four years ago, my weight began to increase at an alarming rate. I was undergoing fertility treatments that helped me to pack on nearly 30 lbs. Then I became pregnant with my first child and the pounds continued to pile on easily. By the time that I had my son, I was about 275 lbs. I kind of ignored the weight gain, because I had my beautiful boy and pregnancy weight comes off easily, right?!?

Then with a whole host of other changes and stresses, I lost some of the weight only to become pregnant again. This time I was way more careful about what I ate and still gained a significant amount of weight. When I gave birth to my daughter, I was a whopping 265 lbs. With two babies to keep up with and a full time career, something needed to change.

I had heard about Ideal Protein from a friend of my mother’s and decided that it was time to get to it. When I started this life change, I was a little skeptical; but the first week, I dropped more than 5 lbs.–something I hadn’t been able to do by myself. My coworkers were all doing another diet together and not seeing any progress (because they were cheating).

I went to work having lost a 2-3 pounds every week. I got compliments about how my look was changing, but also for my ability to stick with it. IT IS SO EASY! My friends think I look great, my co-workers are seriously impressed, but more importantly my husband thinks I look “hot”. I have found that my self-confidence is renewed and I couldn’t be happier with the changes.

Well I had to make some big changes to the way I’ve been eating & drinking…

Well I had to make some big changes to the way I’ve been eating & drinking…in December of 2011 my triglycerides were over a thousand, my blood sugar was 122, the Dr. could not even read my cholesterol and my liver counts were extremely high! I can’t believe my weight got up to 259lbs. and my off again on again dieting was not working!

I decided to signed up for a great new approach to weight loss by joining a plan called the Ideal Protein Program. It cuts out carbs and booze till you get on track and puts you on a food plan based on more protein. I’m proud to say I’m down from my high of 259lbs. Jan 3rd, 2012. to 225 lbs as of Jan. 28, 2012….an amazing 34 lbs. in less than 4 weeks and I feel great.

I see no problem getting to my goal of 195lbs. by early March. I truly have to thank the folks at Ideal Health, LLC the owners and coaches that been there for me through the entire process and credit them with saving my life. I now know I have a greater chance to be around when my beautiful Granddaughters graduate from high school. If you were like me for the last 15 years and tried a lot of “diets” but never could really keep the weight off or even get close to your goal and just gave up even trying please don’t and look into this great plan, you’ll amazed!

Just think about what you can really achieve with the right approach. I wish I found this 15 years ago. I am not being compensated in any way by posting this, I just feel obligated to share this with everyone!

I knew I wanted a personal experience and not something just online so I searched out weight loss clinics in NH.

I knew I wanted a personal experience and not something just online so I searched out weight loss clinics in NH. I also wanted something different than just the popular commercial weight loss programs you see on TV. I have tried those before and they didn’t work. My search turned up Ideal Protein/Ideal Health and I reached out to Stephanie. She got back to me immediately. A few days later I was in her office getting measured, weighed and picking up food. I really like the plan because you still eat your own food every day (protein and veggies) and there is a wide variety of that “real food” allowed on the plan. So if you have a dinner out or a gathering or just life in general–this plan fits into it! Also, I have thyroid disease and this is literally the only plan that has worked for me. I find the entire protocol very easy and it fits into my life–which is the most important thing for consistency!

I contacted Stephanie back in October of 2018 wanting to learn more about Ideal Protein. I had been morbidly obese most of my life and needed to make a change.

I contacted Stephanie back in October of 2018 wanting to learn more about Ideal Protein. I had been morbidly obese most of my life and needed to make a change. I had heard about this program in the past but it was time for me to commit. After talking with Stephanie I knew this was the kind of program I needed to help me to lose the weight but then help me to maintain it. I started the program on 10/16/18 and my starting weight was 324. I currently weigh 165 pounds as of today and I am 5 pounds away from my goal weight. This program has been the foundation to help me create a healthier life style and also start a workout regime and training for up and coming ocr races. I just had a panniculectomy done to help get rid of excess skin from the weight loss. I am a completely different person on the inside and outside. If it wasn’t for Stephanie’s support and encouragement I wouldn’t be where I am now.

For those looking to make that lifestyle change to become a healthier you and to get out there and be more active please contact Stephanie at Ideal Health LLC. You won’t regret it!!! Thank you, Stephanie for all you have done to help me achieve a healthier life style!!

Being frustrated with my weight and have tried everything in the book, I decided to do Ideal Protein.

Being frustrated with my weight and have tried everything in the book, I decided to do Ideal Protein. What I found was that it was easy to follow (and I’m extremely busy and travel a lot), and I received weekly one-on-one coaching with Stephanie, regular emails and educational videos. Stephanie’s guidance was very helpful to me in getting through the rough spots and found her to be very knowledgeable. I started in April of 2017 and I have been in maintenance for a little over a year. I am extremely happy that the lifestyle changes I was taught to make has helped me keep the weight off (which I was scared would come back on once I was off the program). I lost 85 lbs. and I’ve been able to keep it off.

The plan is easy to follow and makes good sense. Stephanie’s guidance was invaluable and the short daily videos were spot on. I highly recommend it!

I came to Ideal Health weighing in over 240 lbs. I am 6 feet tall and was in my late 30s.

I came to Ideal Health weighing in over 240 lbs. I am 6 feet tall and was in my late 30s. I used to exercise to lose my winter weight. I also used fad diets which used to frustrate me when I would plateau. At this point in my life, exercise was no longer taking the weight off. I felt like I was going to be stuck with all this weight. Until someone suggested I give Ideal Health a try.

When I came to Ideal Health, Stephanie assured me that if I stuck with the plan, I could get back to my target weight of 190. I was amazed that when I stuck with the phase 1 plan, I was losing weight every week.

Once I achieved my goal, Stephanie provided me with guidance to make healthier eating choices. While I am not perfect, I still try to attempt to adhere to the healthy eating that I learned at Ideal Health. I have kept the weight off since 2013 and found a healthy weight for me to be between 200-205.

I am truly grateful to Ideal Health for my weight loss as well as being able to keep the weight off over the past 5 years.
