Physician-Supervised Weight Loss

We understand that the struggle with obesity can be overwhelming. Even carrying around a little excess weight can keep you from feeling your best. While yo-yo dieting only results in putting on more weight, our physician-supervised weight loss program can help you break the cycle and finally see the results you’ve always wanted.

Finally, A Weight Loss Program That Works

When it comes to healing injuries or alleviating chronic conditions, managing your weight is often the simplest – and least invasive – solution. We understand, however, that losing weight can be a struggle, especially for patients who have tried the old maxim of eating less and exercising more only to see little or no results.

With so many weight loss programs out there, we understand it can be difficult to know what really works. After years of searching, however, Dr. Albano settled on a solution to help his patients lose weight – and keep it off.

Stop failing yourself with yo-yo diets and quick-fix dieting fads. Join us for a weight loss seminar, held every Tuesday at 5 pm, and receive a $150 credit towards your program fees.

Ideal Protein Clinic For Medical Weight Loss

The Albano Clinic partners with Ideal Protein, a medically-developed weight loss protocol that has been evolving for over 20 years. Ideal Protein is a physician-supervised weight loss program that emphasizes optimizing your body and living a healthier lifestyle. Under the guidance of your personal weight loss coach, this program balances protein levels while minimizing fat and carbohydrates.

If followed precisely, Dr. Albano, our weight loss physician, and his team have found this scientifically-valid program extremely effective, as your body has no choice but to burn fat as fuel. Women lose an average of 2.5 lbs. per week and men lose an average of 3.5 lbs. per week.

One-On-One Weight Loss Coaching

Our Ideal Protein clinic offers patients what they really want – a structured program that will put an end to constant dieting. Your personal weight loss coach will help keep you on track and empower you with the knowledge you need to make smarter lifestyle choices.

One of the most difficult things about maintaining a healthy weight is sticking to healthy choices. Your coach will help you develop better eating habits to help you continue your weight loss success, even after your program ends.

The Albano Clinic is an independently owned and operated clinic and weight loss center authorized to promote and sell Ideal Protein products and the Ideal Protein Protocol.

Just yesterday, I saw a patient with three years of Achilles tendon pain. He lost 90 pounds in six months. He looks like a different guy now. He is a different guy. He has no Achilles tendon pain, as well.~ Dr. Joseph Albano

Having all the pressure of all those pounds off of my knees and off of my back, it’s wonderful. It was such an easy program for me to stick to and the weight seemingly just fell off.~Tierney Silver Thorne

Dramatic Weight Loss Relieved Tierney's Knee And Back Pain

Arthritic knees and a bulging disc in her back were causing Tierney unbearable pain. Other physicians recommended pain management and narcotics. Dr. Albano instead suggested medically-supervised weight loss through the Albano Clinic’s Ideal Protein program. The dramatic weight loss Tierney experienced took the pressure off of her joints and relieved her pain, without narcotics.

Medically Designed, Medically Proven

Ideal Protein is a physician-supervised weight loss program with a medically-designed protocol containing two key components: weight loss and lifestyle education to help you maintain results.

According to weight loss doctor and co-founder of Ideal Protein Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, “The cause of many weight issues in modern society is insulin dysfunction.” This dysfunction is a direct result of a diet high in saturated fats and sugars – a diet very much in line with the typical American diet.

To put it simply, an overproduction of insulin may lead to constant sugar cravings and weight gain.

Digging a little deeper, while one of insulin’s primary functions is to regulate blood sugar levels, it also is the hormone that facilitates the transport of fat into fat cells. It then “locks” the fat into the fat cell, preventing fat from being burned off for energy.

Once your body depletes all of your usable protein and carbohydrates for energy – and with your fat locked away – your blood sugar drops, creating a sugar craving. The vicious cycle begins again, and your excess insulin works to store more fat.

The Ideal Protein weight loss program works by stopping this harmful cycle in its tracks.

In 2017, with the help of her Ideal Protein coach and the support of her family, she was able to lose 127 pounds. A year later, she has kept the weight off and can’t remember the last time she felt so healthy.

FAQs

How does the Ideal Protein diet work? Expand

The four phases of the Ideal Protein Protocol are designed to help you set, achieve and maintain your weight loss goals. During the weight loss phases of the protocol, we limit carbohydrate and fat intake while maintaining normal protein intake to encourage the body to turn its fat storage into energy. By eating Ideal Protein foods, the protocol helps you sustain muscle mass while teaching you how to develop smarter eating habits and lifestyle choices, which helps you maintain long-term weight loss success.

Is Ideal Protein a ketogenic diet? Expand

Yes, it is. A ketogenic diet is quite simply any diet that forces your body into a process called ketosis, whereby fats are burned instead of carbohydrates for energy. The Ideal Protein diet is different from other keto diets that encourage a diet high in animal fats.

Is Ideal Protein healthy and safe? Expand

The Ideal Protein Protocol features one-on-one coaching and education for a healthier lifestyle. Our coaches are healthcare practitioners trained to ensure that dieters follow the protocol for maximum results. All patients will be required to complete a comprehensive health profile during their initial consultation, and every patient’s care is under the supervision of Dr. Albano.

How is the Ideal Protein weight loss diet different from other protein diets on the market? Expand

The Ideal Protein Protocol addresses weight issues at the source, reducing carbohydrates and fats while ensuring adequate daily protein intake. In other words, the goal is to lose fat, not muscle. While on the protocol, a personal coach will teach you techniques for a healthier lifestyle and empower you to sustain your weight loss results over the course of your life.
