The Ketogenic Diet: What to Know

We are often asked: "Who is iDiet for?" It’s an important question.
Our program is designed for anyone looking to lose weight, and typically people who choose to join iDiet set a goal of between 15 and 30 pounds. Many join iDiet during a health scare — perhaps after a concerning lab result, or a doctor's warning about high blood pressure, or high blood sugar, or cholesterol. Others might be motivated by joint pain or a moment of self-reflection — or catching themself in a dressing-room mirror.
What is balanced eating, and can it help with weight control?

Balanced eating refers to a dietary approach that ensures you are consuming a variety of foods in the right proportions to meet your nutritional needs. The goal is to provide your body with all the essential nutrients—proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals—while maintaining an appropriate caloric intake.
Key Principles of Balanced Eating:
Harnessing the Power of Fiber and Protein for Effective Weight Loss

In your quest for effective weight management, dietary fiber and protein are a dynamic duo of nutrients. Together, they not only aid in digestion and muscle maintenance but also play a crucial role in controlling hunger and facilitating weight loss. As a renowned nutrition expert and researcher, Dr. Susan B. Roberts has extensively studied the benefits of combining fiber and protein, integrating these insights into the successful iDiet program. Here, we delve into the power of fiber and protein and how they can be harnessed for effective weight loss.
Glycemic Index – Good Carbs and Bad Carbs

The Glycemic Index (GI), originally used in research on treating diabetes, measures how much a particular food increases blood glucose in the two-hour period after eating. Foods with a high GI value cause a big rise in blood glucose; low-GI foods, only a small rise. The significance here is that low-GI foods have been shown to suppress hunger extremely well because the more stable blood glucose produced by these foods tells our food brain that all is well and we don’t need to eat again yet.
Dietary fiber: A ‘magic bullet’ for healthy weight management

If I had to name one single food constituent that is most helpful for weight management, it would be dietary fiber. It just has so many benefits and strangely has been researched much less for its weight management benefits than many other dietary factors, but the science is all positive and just keeps getting stronger and stronger.

Did you know your intestinal microbiome and your immune system are tightly linked? Your microbiota are vital for extracting nutrition from your food, maintaining your metabolism, boosting pathogen resistance and immune function, and keeping your intestinal walls healthy. It’s health varies with your diet, lifestyle and environment. Greater nutritional diversity and more fiber leads to a healthier microbiome, which can help you stay healthy.
Learning from the data on COVID weight gain

Researchers have suggested that self-quarantine may provoke depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and lifestyle behaviors that could provoke obesity in adults, and this is proving to be the case with some people. • 22% studied gained weight (typically 5-10 pounds). 19% lost weight. • Roughly 65% stated they increased eating because food was readily available, 73% reported giving into cravings, 52% said they were stress-eating more, 73% said they were eating more due to boredom, and 65% said they increased “snacking after dinner.”
