What Should My Weight Loss Expectations be?
When going on the Ideal protocol you should expect to lose the most amount of weight your first 2-3 weeks on the protocol as your body is adjusting. Those first two to three weeks expect to lose 4-10lbs. As your body adjusts you will slow down and adapts to the program males tend to lose 4-5 pounds per week and women lose 2-3 pounds per week on average.
Everyone is different so results vary from person to person and higher weight loss results may only be achieved if the protocol is properly followed.

If I have Gout/Kidney Stones Can I Still Go On The Protocol?
There is no problem with going on the protocol if you have had a history of Gout and/or Kidney Stones. High uric acid levels are a part of metabolic syndrome and the Ideal Protein protocol will be able to help these conditions long term. As stated in the Explanation of the Health Profile if a patient has a history of gout, doctors should (MD or DO) put them on a drug (like Allopurinol 300 mgs) for at least the first month of the program. Ideal Protein has only 2 recorded cases in two and a half years that going on the diet may have precipitated a gout flare-up. Therefore if the docs employ this strategy. It may prevent a dieter from quitting the program, because of a perceived negative effect before he or she can get the full benefit of our protocol. Allopurinol is very inexpensive and is very well tolerated and has a long history of safety and good results. What may have happened with the 2 noted cases, they were going to have a flare-up anyway (perhaps increasing protein in the diet suddenly, may have aggravated it, or maybe not). In any a case, using Allopurinol as a pre-emptive measure would be ideal, but you should still talk to your Doctor before going on our protocol.
