I needed to lose weight and searched for a good program and found Ideal Health in Bedford NH. Saw good reviews and decided to give it a try. I began my weight loss program 8-1-2019 and lost 25 lbs within 3 months. It is now 4-4-2020 and have maintained my weight loss for 6 months. Have never maintained a weight loss more than 1 month. Stephanie guided me through it till the end. She's pleasant, helpful and very informed. Never hungry, the "BEST" program ever!! I highly recommend this program. read more

I can't say enough about how great the Ideal Health program has changed my life. I started with Stephanie Edwards in early 2013. I weighed 260 lbs and had a target of 190lbs. I achieved this goal and kept the weight off for the past 3 years ( I way 200 lbs today). I actually achieved a lifelong dream of thru hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in 2014. It took me 5.5 months and I never would have accomplished this without the weight loss achieved with Ideal Health. I have also run many road races, beating many personal bests. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Stephanie and Ideal Health. If you are looking to make changes like this in your life, I highly recommend this program. read more

I contacted Stephanie back in October of 2018 wanting to learn more about Ideal Protein. I had been morbidly obese most of my life and needed to make a change. I had heard about this program in the past but it was time for me to commit. After talking with Stephanie I knew this was the kind of program I needed to help me to lose the weight but then help me to maintain it. I started the program on 10/16/18 and my starting weight was 324. I currently weigh 165 pounds as of today and I am 5 pounds away from my goal weight. This program has been the foundation to help me create a healthier life style and also start a workout regime and training for up and coming ocr races. I just had a panniculectomy done to help get rid of excess skin from the weight loss. I am a completely different person on the inside and outside. If it wasn't for Stephanie's support and encouragement I wouldn't be where I am now. For those looking to make that lifestyle change to become a healthier you and to get out there and be more active please contact Stephanie at Ideal Health LLC. You won't regret it!!! Thank you, Stephanie for all you have done to help me achieve my healthier lifestyle!!! Patricia Mackey Keene, NH read more

I knew I wanted a personal experience and not something just online so I searched out weight loss clinics in NH. I also wanted something different than just the popular commercial weight loss programs you see on TV. I have tried those before and they didn't work. My search turned up Ideal Protein/Ideal Health and I reached out to Stephanie. She got back to me immediately. A few days later I was in her office getting measured, weighed and picking up food. I really like the plan because you still eat your own food every day (protein and veggies) and there is a wide variety of that "real food" allowed on the plan. So if you have a dinner out or a gathering or just life in general--this plan fits into it! Also, I have thyroid disease and this is literally the only plan that has worked for me. I find the entire protocol very easy and it fits into my life--which is the most important thing for consistency! read more

Ideal health is a simple plan for weight loss---add in the terrific support from the Ideal team, regular email and video messages, good guidance and science to back it up----simple and effective. Love this program. read more

My wife and I started the Ideal Protein plan at Ideal Health in October after deciding to "not wait until after the holidays" . I lost 50 and she lost over 30. We are now on track and have learned how to eat and keep the weight off. No more BP meds, CPAP machine gone and so are the pile of big pants with buttons missing. read more

Fabulous diet! Dropped the weight very quickly, got back down to my fighting weight! Stephanie is an awesome coach!

This diet made me very unwell the first day. I emailed Stephanie right away to ask for my money back. As soon as I did my check was cashed. I asked for my money back and was offered 'consultation' to lose weight. Absolute waste of money, Google keto diet and you could do it yourself without wasting $475. read more

Stephanie has inspired me to lose 45lbs over the course of last year. She is a professional and very honest about the good and the bad weeks. The program really works and I've maintained my weight loss 6 months after this loss. If you need accountability, this is a great program that is easy to follow and offers tremendous support. read more

I have lost 45 lbs in 7 months and am thrilled. I've tried so many diets over the years which allowed me to lose a few lbs but never achieve the results I was looking for. The diet is simple to follow and with Stephanie's guidance and support at weekly weigh ins, the weight loss is guanteed. I highly recommend the Ideal Protein diet. If you truly want results, make an appointment with Stephanie to start your weight loss. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Stephanie! read more

I can not say enough good things about Stephanie and the program. It has transformed my life. I also referred two friends and they also had great results. If you are looking to make a real change you need to try this program. read more

I went to Stephanie at Ideal Health who was referred to me by a friend. I shared with him my difficult journey to losing weight without trying so appear sorry for myself. He listened and said, if you really want to lose weight, I know the place....BUT, you have to be serious and ready. I thought of it like when I was finally ready to give up other bad habits. He introduced me to Ideal Health. I didn't know much about the program so I sent an email and Stephanie sent me information on the program, what to expect and gave me the opportunity to prepare. My wife and I read it over and what she sent was literally an explanation or better, a like a long awaited diagnosis (keep in mind she is not a doctor) of precisely what I was going through and how this program works to help you get out of the cycle. I started my journey with an open mind and with 100% commitment because I needed this and wanted to be around for my wife and children. I am 40 years old. I wanted to live again and I did not want to have to undergo surgery to get there. (This was a serious consideration and spent 4 months going through the program). That said, I have to tell you I had previously tried the following (Sadly laughing because reading this list is exhausting in itself): Crossfit (7 Months) Fitness Authority (8 Months strength and cardio) Elite Personal Fitness (4 Months) Planet Fitness (3 to 4 different times and 3-6 month stretches) Good Training - Personal training (4 Months and then was injured on my own time) Weight Watchers (Twice - 6 Months and 3 months) Atkins (2 times - minimum of 3 month stretches) South Beach (Once for 2 months) Starvation (intermittently when nothing else worked and I was injured from working out) Excess Exercise at home (6 days a week - Elliptical 45-1HR at a time) Paleo (6 Weeks and wanted to eat my arm off) Straight up diets - Watching fat, watching carbs, cutting salt, low cal......anything I read that I thought might work. I think you get the point. I seem as though I would try just about anything but I was finished fooling around with diets that no longer made sense because the results were simply not there for the torture many put me through so I went to see a nutritionist. I did a litany of tests that with exception of a few minor things brought up no red flags. Even my diet was relatively good in her eyes. She was a flake and missed several appointments so I stopped going to her. I then made an appointment with an Endocrinologist after reading another article on health. I had not yet seen her when I smashed into Ideal Health but did eventually go and had a few low levels that had to be worked on came up but again, nothing that should prevent me from losing weight...even the MRI on my Pituitary Gland to confirm NOTHING else was going on. This had been my journey for 7 years!!! I kept getting injured because I would work out to lose more while dieting and could not figure out how to not continue repeating the cycle, until I found Stephanie ;-) oh... and thanks to my friend Lloyd. I also want to mention I do not have diabetes and eat little if any sugar which is likely the reason. I know that is a lot to digest but I hope that others may read this and will be encouraged / inspired to try something different if they are truly ready because if you follow "Protocol" there is no question you will lose weight. I have been with the program for 14 weeks and have lost by tomorrow's weigh in 50 pounds. I am so encouraged by this and simply put, the program puts everything into perspective and it requires ZERO exercise. Yes, that is correct, no exercise. I recently heard Dr. Oz state you cannot lose weight without diet AND exercise and keep it off. I and many others are living proof you can! Now I have not tested the keeping it off part but I have met many people who have been on the program for extended periods and they have taken breaks in between and come back to finish and they have not gained the weight back. I do not want to spoil the how or why but know that if you can learn to lose weight without exercise, imagine what you can do when you are off the program and do exercise. The very fact that you can lose weight without it takes all the sting out of healthy eating in my opinion. I do not have an issue with working out, but I do not always find the time and am sometimes just exhausted. I have three kids and a demanding job...I know many of you have the same. I only wish this program found its way to HR managers across NH, to Doctor's offices to refer in lieu of CMC Obesity Treatment Center which does save lives and is to me a great last ditch effort program. You will not regret your decision if you are truly ready. You cannot be motivated by others, you have to be motivated on your own. Prepare yourself, its not easy, but it is worth it. Thank you Stephanie and Lloyd. You have saved my life and if I could put an emoji, it would include happy tears. read more

I began the program in August with a goal to lose 50 lbs. Through phase 1 and 2, I lost a total of 53 lbs which I achieved by early November! As of this writing in mid January, I have maintained that weight and am excited to move into the new year using the great eating habits I learned. Although the first 2 weeks of the program was difficult to adopt to as I cut out all the bad carbs I was accustomed to, the program became EXTREMELY easy to follow the rest of the way and the results were amazing! I would highly recommend this program to anyone! read more

Those who know me have seen somewhat of a transformation over the last few months. Not only have I lost 50 pounds, but my attitude, confidence and self esteem have also improved tremendously. I just wanted to take a minute to thank Ideal Health in Manchester, NH and my coach Stephanie Edwards for giving me the tools and support I needed to make this possible. After researching successful weight loss programs on line and being inspired by a colleague who also found success at Ideal Health in Manchester, NH, I became a client. I have struggled with my weight all my adult life and when I started with Ideal Health, I did not want to get my hopes up in the beginning because I have tried and failed at every "diet" I've ever tried, and I've tried them all! With the encouragement of my coach and the really helpful 5 minute videos delivered to my email every morning, I found myself having success and I have found it pretty effortless. This is the easiest, healthiest and most tasty weight loss plan I have ever tried. Even when I suffered a hiking accident and broke my foot and shoulder and could not exercise AT ALL for 3 months, I still had a consistent weight loss every week. I love the Ideal Protein Protocol and if you're like me, you will love it too! read more
