Something is going on though! Look at the email we received this morning from our "IP DR":
"Hello everyone!
It has been an interesting, fun, and good week already at Ideal Weight Loss Clinic and the week is not over yet. I want to take a minute to talk about something, it is a topic that is not meant to be terribly condemning; however, it needs to be taken to heart with much grace, love, and sincerity. The topic is the topic of CHEATING! I first want to reiterate the point I have made several times (in the office and at both "Evening Outs")...cheating will not be tolerated. I have made more compromises this week, with patients cheating, than all previous thirteen (13) weeks combined. People are still losing weight (that's the beauty and effectiveness of this program), but many do not when they cheat.
Here is how I look at this, as well as how corporate holds me accountable towards the topic of cheating: we all got to the place of being unhealthy, fat, overweight, out-of-shape, on too much medication, low self esteemed, depressed, unhappy with ourselves, and just downright selfish from CHEATING...either cheating our family, our spouses/partners, our bodies (temples), and/or most importantly our own inner man/woman. The physiology of the human body is created to run efficiently, effectively, and productively provided you don't cheat it! Our spirit man is much the same way, if not more so. So my point is this...Corporate holds us physicians accountable to how well people perform on this program. Corporate does not allow cheating and we are not supposed to either. If we do, guess what, WE'RE CHEATING. It rolls up and down the hill both ways. Now with all this being said, I want to take this opportunity to let each of you know I want you to succeed and reach your goals more than most of you do. Your success is my success! As we get busier and busier at Ideal Weight Loss Clinic I will be held to higher and higher standards and so will our dieters. Please don't read anything into this message, just take from it exactly what is intended...do the program as it was designed!!
I take what I do seriously and I want each of you to do the same thing. Those of you who have known me through chiropractic know, I am not in this for your money or to build up my ego, I do this because I love helping people live a life full of vitality, inspiration, and happiness. So, let's all re-focus, re-adjust our direction, and put our eyes and minds back into our manuals and follow the plan! You and your wallet will be thankful every step of the way. Blessings to all of you!"
Here's my take on this... It's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY - as usual...Originally Posted by Kelsey
My daughter and I MUST bring our daily journals every WI. We were told in the beginning, that if we showed up without them we would be asked to go home and get them and come back! Since today is my 4th WI, and they are only big enough for a month, I don't know if they'll keep them today, or if we keep them?!?Something is going on though!

Corp IP wants to keep up the great free marketing it's getting from the like of us raving about our successful weight losses... therefore building up their business... I know that their business has grown a ton since being passed by the FDA and being able to sell in the US... I, myself have gotten 3 other people to start in... that's $$$ for Corp...
It's also big money for the Drs and Clinics - I don't know what their % take is from each box sold but I'd bet it's a fair amount... These 'coaches' are getting scared that Corp might come in and take that profit stream away from them if Corp thinks that they aren't producing results therefore lots of referrals...
This is different than how JC or WW works - both of these Corps want to make alot of $$ too but put money into advertising and celebrity spokespeople rather than relying on their true success stories - also, JC and WW make so much of their $$ from 'return' customers... those who lose some weight and get off track and start up again the next year etc, etc, (I did that too) -
So, let's hope that IP's approach of 4 phases and letting our worn out pancreases heal really works for a lifetime -- no more supporting the mega billion $$ weight loss industry!
-just my thoughts - have a great day! -
