“I don’t have the cravings that I was having before to eat all the time,” she says. But more often than not, she’s just not hungry. When she does want a sweet treat, Tolen finds the Ideal Protein snacks satisfying. That’s all I eat now and I really like it.” I’m learning that when you go out to just about any restaurant, you can order steak, chicken or fish and healthy vegetables, and I’ve never been a person to do that. But it is OK to say I can’t have that today. “It’s not that I can never have French fries or Mexican or all the things I love ever again. “I’ve had to change my mindset about food,” she says. Not only do the food items taste good, but the structure, online resources and personal support aspects of the protocol make it easy to stay on track. Tolen now admits that her skepticism of Ideal Protein proved unfounded. It may take six months to a year to get to a weight that I’m happy with, but what’s that, when I’m getting my health back and regaining so much confidence?” I have a goal in mind, but it’s more about how I want to feel. “I’m down to less than 200 pounds and would like to lose another 50, but I’m not holding to that number. “I look in the mirror and think ‘wow this really works!’,” she says. Four months later she’s still on it - having already lost a remarkable 65 pounds and dropping from a size 20 to a 14. Tolen began the Ideal Protein Protocol on Aug. “But then I thought, ‘I can do anything for 30 days’ and decided to give it a shot.” “I didn’t think I could do something without having a cheat day,” Tolen laughs. But Tolen remained skeptical because so many other diets she tried had failed. Linda Faulkner, Certified Nurse Practitioner at Ageless Wellness, challenged Tolen to do Ideal Protein for just 30 days. The result puts the body into a state of ketosis, allowing it to burn stored fat for energy. Developed by a medical doctor, Ideal Protein calls for a daily diet of three Ideal Protein pre-packaged food items, four cups of low-carb veggies and eight ounces of protein. That “something” turned out to be Ideal Protein, a weight-loss protocol offered by Ageless Wellness Center in Peachtree City. “I was tired of being overweight and never having any energy. “It was a constant up-and-down struggle for 20 years,” Tolen laments. The 42 year old admits to having tried “just about everything” - from Weight Watchers to diet pills to counting calories and more - in her quest to slim down. Like many women, Misty Tolen struggled most of her adult life to maintain a healthy weight. Fayetteville Woman Loses 65 Pounds in 4 Months
