IDEAL WEIGHT IDEAL PROTEIN

Chiropractic Care Can Lead To A Healthier Body And Lifestyle

Looking to achieve the ideal weight? Ideal Protein may just provide the best method. Ideal Protein was developed more than 30 years ago in France by Dr. Tran Tien, who successfully helped the French Olympic team to lose weight while maintaining muscle mass. Dieters on the program combine their own protein sources and vegetables along with Ideal Protein food options. These Ideal Protein foods are available exclusively from accredited Ideal Protein Healthcare Professionals, such as Dr. Michael Jorgensen, at Red River Wellness in Fargo.

“Over the past 20 years or more in the healthcare field, I’ve noticed an epidemic of obesity and diabetes. I wanted to provide a solution through awareness and education,” said Dr. Jorgensen. In the fall of 2010, he changed his practice’s name from Jorgensen Chiropractic to Red River Wellness to reflect a focus on healthy lifestyles.

“The Food Pyramid, which most of us are familiar with, promotes approximately 55% daily consumption of complex carbohydrates,” Jorgensen said. “According to this recommendation, a 2,200-calorie daily intake would provide the equivalent of two cups of sugar. A high-level consumption of carbohydrates is the problem, which leads to obesity and diabetes because the body turns carbohydrates into sugar, which is then stored as fat in fat cells.”

“The average person has a three-day supply of carbohydrates stored in the body. With the Ideal Protein weight-loss method, after the body consumes this supply, the fat begins to melt away,” Dr. Jorgensen said. ”Ideal Protein is basically a fat-burning, muscle sparing diet. The program ensures adequate protein consumption while resetting pancreatic function, which controls insulin levels.”

After being introduced to the Ideal Protein weight loss program at a chiropractic seminar in May 2010, Dr. Jorgensen was eager to provide his clients with this highly successful weight loss option.

Dr. Jorgensen became a certified wellness practitioner and has helped numerous clients lose more than 2,500 pounds through the Ideal Protein weight loss method.

Stacy, a current dieter on the Ideal Protein weight loss program, has lost more than 42 pounds, 52 inches, and five pant sizes in only 12 weeks. Typically dieters lose three to seven pounds per week. Four phases of the diet initially eliminate certain foods and gradually re-introduce them. The final phase is designed to maintain the dieter’s weight loss.

“It feels like the fat just melts off the body,” Stacy commented. “This program has also involved a lifestyle change for me by relearning my association with food. The focus on getting to a healthy weight helps me determine the reason for my eating.”

“In addition to the weight loss, I’ve experienced better sleep at night and more energy during the day, plus my migraine headaches haven’t come back,” Stacy elaborated.

Dr. Michael Jorgensen is a second-generation chiropractor with more than 23 years of experience. His father, Dr. Bill Jorgensen, practiced in the Fargo area from 1976 until 1994. [AWM]
