Frequently Asked Questions

No, you don’t have to commit to a specific number.

At VitalBody, we don’t require you to set a weight goal before you’re ready. Many people come in unsure, tired of chasing numbers, or simply wanting to feel better in their body, and that’s more than enough to begin.

If you do have a goal in mind, your coach will hold it gently and help you approach it in a way that feels realistic and supportive. If you don’t, we’ll focus first on building steadiness with food, supporting your health, and letting clarity come with time.

Everyone’s starting point is different. Our role is to meet you where you are and support you forward, without pressure or rigid expectations.

Vital Body administers a doctor designed weight loss protocol called Ideal Protein. This protocol is based on the physiological principles of the body that allow our clients to lose weight safely, and then learn to maintain that weight loss long-term. Our program has three phases:

Phase 1 is designed to successfully lose excess weight. You can expect to lose 2-3lbs of body fat per week.

Phase 2 is an 8-24 week program that will stabilize your body at your new weight, and ensure your long-term success. You learn how to introduce all food groups into your diet in a sustainable, and healthy way. This phase puts an end to yo-yo dieting.

Phase 3 is the real deal. Maintenance and Lifestyle. It’s less glamorous as there’s no huge transformation or weight loss at this point, but this is the phase where you enjoy your success, and feel truly awesome. The accountability and support of our coaches in this phase lets you dig deep into healthy habits, self-care, planning, and recipes that will work for you according to your unique macro code.

An important component of the protocol is education. As you lose weight, you are also learning the skills and habits needed to create a new lifestyle. Building a new healthy lifestyle, and learning to maintain your new weight long after the weight loss phase is our main priority at Vital Body.

Your program is a mix:

Whole Foods (You Prepare): Vegetables and lean proteins cooked the way you like them. This teaches you real food skills you’ll use forever.

Ideal Protein Foods: High-protein, low-carb meals and snacks (60+ options) that support fat loss and fit busy schedules. Only required during Phase 1 weight loss, but optional in Phases 2 & 3.

Why both? The IP foods do the heavy lifting for fat loss while you’re learning. Real food teaches you how to eat long-term. That’s why people actually keep the weight off.

Many people are surprised to discover that our recommended exercise is limited to walking and stretching and some light resistance training while in the weight loss phase of our program. A lot of people believe that rigorous exercise is needed to lose weight, but that’s just not true! If you already have a routine you love, discuss with your coach how we can incorporate it into your program.

This might seem strange at first, but it’s important to note that our medical protocol is designed to help you lose weight without starvation or excessive hunger, and generate successful fat loss without compromising your lean muscle mass.

A lot of people are concerned they won’t have enough time to follow this program. But we know what happens to our health and wellbeing when we don’t prioritize it…this is often why our clients end up with excessive weight and unhealthy eating patterns in the first place.

Adopting new habits and a new way of living and eating will take some time, but it’s time well spent. This program helps you put yourself first, and realize that your health and happiness is worth the time investment.

Vital Body gives you a structured and easy to follow program, so that you save time on wondering what or when to eat, and simply follow your unique personalized plan.

Traveling while on the plan is possible, and many clients have had continued success while traveling. Your weekly check in with a coach will only take 15 minutes, making it very easy to squeeze into jam-packed schedules.
