Reformation Body Solutions – Ideal Protein

I want to write a very honest review of my experience at Reformation Body Solutions-​Ideal Protein in Los Gatos. After hearing great things about people losing lots of weight quickly I was excited to see for myself. I had my first initial consultation with Judy on April 29^th. I opened to the door to our meeting and door was literally slammed in my face. I guess they were working with a client but how would I have known that? I have never been there before. So I stood outside waiting. Very awkward but I moved passed it and met with Judy. She told me that I could expect to lose 10 pounds in a month on the program. Only needing to lose 20 pounds I thought, alright I have two months to invest in this. You can’t work out on the program so she was speaking my language. We talked for a very short time and she handed me a bag with supplements and Ideal Protein food packets to the tune of $ 500. The first week was easy as I was excited about losing so much weight so fast and it was something new. I was mostly testing out the food to see what I liked and didn’t like. I have to say the food is AWFUL. Don’t get me wrong, it is diet food that comes out of packet so I was not expecting much.
Fast forward to my third week on the program and I am not losing very much weight at all and was feeling extremely unsupported and frustrated. When I said I was hungry I was told to eat an egg. When I said I didn’t like the food and just wanted to get everything over with I was told that I needed to get out of my own way. Of course a person is going to lose weight when they consume 800 calories a day with most of it consisting of disgusting packets of powdered food.
When I let Renne know that I was frustrated because I was not going to lose 10 pounds in a month even though I didn’t cheat once and did everything that they said she very rudely told me that she doesn’t guarantee anything. I knew that but it just went to show how ridiculous she was as I was not looking for a guarantee, I was looking for a different answer than «eat an egg».
My overall experience was that I was ripped off and that Renne and Judy don’t give a damn. This is a business and they want you buy their food products. There is no «coaching» involved here besides you stepping on their scale and pointing to food that you are going to pay for.

So I have been on a diet for almost 2 months now, and I lost 22 lbs so far. I still have more to lose but I am confident that I’ll get there. It has been relatively easy to follow the plan, I do not crave carbs or sweets, but occasionally I feel like I was missing fruit or some other favorite food, which I cannot have now. So it takes work, determination and a bit of constraining oneself to do the diet, but for the results so fast and great, it is worth it. And unlike other diet, there is no feeling weak, no ups and downs with the weight loss (it is steady), or hunger. I’ll certainly stick with the IP dietary principles after I’m done with the weight loss stage. I have not felt so good in my mind and body for a long time. I’ll post my final update, when I reach my goal, in about 3 months in my anticipation.

I started my journey with Reformation August 2015. The owners, Judy and Renee, are very supportive and were realistic when helping me set the goals for my plan. The food is tasty and I never have that «hungry» feeling I’ve had with other programs.
Over the last 7 months I have lost over 55 lbs and I am very close to achieving my goal weight. I feel great and I have more energy. More importantly I no longer take Acid Reflux medication and once I hit goal, my Doctor is taking me off of Blood Preasure medication. I would highly recommend contacting Judy or Renee at Reformation if you want to change your life!

Best thing I ever did for myself lost 30 pounds in 3 months… never thought I would be able to lose the weight… but this program though hard is totally worth it and LIFE CHANGING!!! DO IT!

No better way to lose weight than Ideal Protein. I watched a video a guy made about the program. This guy tried all the popular diets and had nothing but positive things to say about ideal protein. I found the Los Gatos office by chance and have been extremely happy with them. They are supportive without judgment and I have gotten nearly to my ideal weight in 5 months. Highly recommended

My wife had good success with this program and encouraged me to try it too. I am so glad I did. Renee and Judy have been there to consult when I needed them but they also give me the space I need to do the program and not feel like I am on a «diet». I have been on the program for 2 months now and I have lost 18 pounds of fat and zero pounds of muscle. I am able to fit into all of my old clothes and I even broke out some 30 year old button down shirts that have been in the closet since the 80’s. The IP snacks and sweets are tasty. The food is not cheap, but who wouldn’t pay a few extra dollars to look 10 years younger? I highly recommend this program if you want to lose body fat and feel great!

I joined ideal protein June 22^nd after I saw a friends transformation. Judy and Renee have been so supportive and encouraging. This is first diet that has worked for me. I’ve lost almost 40 lbs and I’m not done yet. I would encourage anyone who wants to lose weight to check it out.

This is the best investment I’ve ever made. Just 3 weeks in and I’ve lost almost 15 lbs and several inches! I’ve also seen a drastic decrease in back pain and headaches and I’m loving every minute of it!
The snacks are delicious and convenient so following the plan is so easy. This is the first diet in which I’ve been able to see such incredible results! This is well worth the money — After all, it’s your health.

The Ideal protein diet I followed with the wonderful help of Renee and Judy yielded a weight loss of 39lbs in 80 days which included reducing body fat by 29lbs. This diet has permanently changed my eating habits

I’m adjusting my review because I stopped going all at once and didn’t finish the protocol. There are lots of reasons that people don’t finish and it wouldn’t be the fault of the program. The issue is that — that was 5 months ago, after 4 months in the program — and no one has bothered to reach out to me. (I still get the mass text messages, and new fee notices). I understand that my health is ultimately all up to me. I’m not a particularly needy person — in fact, I used to joke about how my coaches could never remember my name, which I mostly considered funny. But in the end, coaching is considered an essential part of IP, this is an expensive program, and a phone call or an e-​mail to see how a person is doing seems like pretty basic «coaching» to me, even more than remembering which file was mine when I was showing up weekly. So all of the below is still mostly true — but with the added caveat — don’t expect a whole lot out of your coaching relationship with the staff at LG.
************
Ideal Protein is a big investment, but one I’m gladly making because it works, and works both safely and fast. In under five weeks, I’ve lost 11.5 pounds of FAT; and (this is truly the best part) I have only lost ¹⁄₅ of a pound of muscle. No other diet I’ve done gets results like this.
Which brings me to what makes LG-​IP special –
(1) I actually KNOW precisely what my body composition is. They have invested in the single best piece of technology I’ve every seen to analyze body composition. Prior to this clinic — I had no idea if I had the right amount of muscle, or how much fat I needed to lose, or if I had good water balance, or if my diet was doing damage to my muscle mass. Their InBody results offer a regular, complete and precise picture — that’s changing positively every week. There are no question marks about what’s happening, or the typical anxiety that can happen if the scale isn’t budging. This also means no awkward body tape measurements. I also get to take my printouts home and study them. =) It’s pretty cool.
(2) They have open office hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays and encourage walk-​ins. It’s good flexibility especially for later, in maintenance, when I’ll want to come in and continue to check my body composition, but might not want the more intentional coaching. Which brings me to:
(3) They encourage and expect you to come back and weigh in regularly for a lifetime after you meet your goal. This is like getting all the benefits of being a weight watchers lifetime member but with the far better results of IP.
So I have first-​hand experience with one other clinic in another state, and researched other local options, and everyone pretty much offers the food, the coaching, and basic progress measurements (and will do so for you at a lower cost than LG-​IP). It is a fact that you will achieve results on IP regardless of where you go/​how you do it, so long as you follow the rules, which are always the same. But I’ve found that I will need all the help I can get to maintain my weight once it comes off. And their precise body composition analysis, the flexibility of hours, and the lifetime status makes the premium cost worth it to me.

I have tried so many different ways to try and lose weight and nothing worked, I still kept gaining. Ideal protein helped me learn what I was doing wrong. Now I’m only 5 pounds away from my goal and I am so happy with the results and the short time it took.

Since my review in March I have not onlly reached my goal but have MAINTAINED my goal weight. Thank you to Ideal Protein, my coaches Renee and Judy. Loving the new me :-).

My parents pushed me towards IP and I am so glad they did. I am 4 weeks in and feeling great and have lost close to 15 lbs. Renee and Stacy are fabulous coaches and they have convenient ways to support (yay social media) and also easy access and appointments.
Love them. They are saving my life.

Renee is an amazing motivator and coach. This is one of the best programs I’ve ever done to get healthy and lose weight. The program is easy to follow, I don’t go hungry and really see that my goal is within reach! Highly recommended if you want a lifestyle change with a super motivating coach to get you to where you want.

Stacy is my coach and she holds me accountable even though I get feisty with her but u know what she gets me motivated to work on losing weight.
The 1^st time I came I here and I was hesitant but now that I have stuck with this program I have lost over 25 pounds. The foods are good & very filling. I enjoy this program abs it’s easy to do

Renee and Judy are awesome.
This is the only diet that has worked for me. I have tried them all and this one works and you feel really good fast as your shed the pounds every week.
Renee and Judy are great and make it easy with all there great advice and help.

I started Ideal Protein weighing 196 @ 5 foot tall. Today I am 169 and I feel GREAT! I have 39 more pounds to go, but I’m confident I will get there. Renee and Judi have been a HUGE support system. I say HUGE, because at first; my husband, family and friends were not. Eating is how we all bonded. It was tough, but Renee and Judi got me through it and now I’m on a steady pace to the finish line.
Thank so much ladies, you have already changed my life in a major way. I will love you forever.

Renee and Judy have been AMAZING! I’m currently on Phase 1, and I have lost 60 pounds since February 10, 2014! It is pretty pricey, but SOOOOO EASY! And the investment in your health is well worth the cost. I HIGHLY recommend Ideal Protein and Reformation Body Solutions!

I am the girl that has tried it all… down to body wraps, lemonade diet, breathing diet to lose weight… EVERYTHING. I would not call this a diet, this has become a change of lifestyle for me and I couldn’t be more healthier and happier.
I’ve lost 40 lbs in 4 ½ months, this is with 5 weeks of vacation during my protocol. For me… this was the EASIEST weight loss EVER. Here is the secret… don’t cheat, don’t make excuses, just stick to the protocol… do what they tell you, at first you may crave but once you stop with the bad stuff you will find you won’t want it. Your weight will shred off so fast you won’t believe it.
I myself would love to be a spokes person for IP only because «IT WORKS»!!! AND FAST! This is NOT a gimmick. This has changed my life and my husband hardly recognizes me. He kept calling me his shrinking wife. What an awesome feeling. He could not be more thrilled nor could I.
Ideal Protein gave me my life back. I now have what you call «easy dressing». I am able to go to my closet and put anything on and leave it because it all fits… No more throwing off clothes that are too tight or that show your rolls.

I will talk to anyone that needs a push or support. If you are serious about losing weight and not one to make excuses why you can’t, then this is the protocol for you. With Renee as your coach you will find success and soon be writing your own Unilocal.
Call Renee for my number. I’d love to support you in meeting your weight loss goal.

This is my first experience having a diet that truly worked! I have lost 20 lbs in 2 months and it has stayed off. Renee has gone over and above to make sure I’m meeting my goals!!!
Highly recommended 5 stars!
