The Ideal diet Protocol is a medically developed, scientifically-validated, and nutritionally balanced ketogenic Protocol designed to help patients lose weight and better manage their health. Thousands of healthcare providers across North America offer Ideal Protein to their patients, helping them to gravitate safely and naturally to a more ideal weight and metabolic stability. Ideal Protein combines low-fat, low-carb foods with an optimal amount of protein resulting in safe, effective and sustainable weight loss. The Protocol features behavior modification, education and empowerment critical for long-term healthy weight maintenance. According to a study conducted and published by Aspirus, an eight-hospital health system in Wisconsin and Michigan, entitled Effect of the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method on Weight Loss and Metabolic Parameters,¹ 233 patients completed at least 12 weeks of the Protocol. The 12-week results were presented at the Cleveland Clinic’s 9th Annual Obesity Summit and at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the National Obesity Society. Our peer-reviewed, published research demonstrates that, among patients who completed the study, metabolic health can be improved in as little as 12 weeks

TrayTime keeps your clear aligner schedule on track. Tap once when your trays go in, tap again when they come out — TrayTime counts every minute toward your daily wear goal. YOUR DAILY WEAR RING See today's wear time at a glance on the 22-hour ring (set your own goal from 20–23 h). When trays are out, a counter shows exactly how long they've been out — meals and brushing stay guilt-free, forgetting doesn't. TRAY CHANGES, ON SCHEDULE Enter your total trays and change interval once. TrayTime shows your current tray, days until the next change, and your estimated finish date — with a reminder on change day. OUT-TOO-LONG REMINDERS Left your trays in the case after lunch? TrayTime nudges you when they've been out too long. You choose the threshold, or turn it off. STREAKS & STATS Hit your daily goal and build a streak. Weekly charts show your wear pattern so you know exactly how your wear routine is going. PROGRESS PHOTOS Keep a private photo diary of your smile, organized by tray, with side-by-side comparison. Photos never leave your phone. WORKS WITH ANY BRAND Any clear aligner brand, any provider. No account, no sign-up, no cloud — everything stays on your device. TRAYTIME PRO (one-time purchase) Remove ads, unlock unlimited progress photos and extended statistics. Pay once, keep it forever. TrayTime is a wear-time tracking tool. It does not provide medical or orthodontic advice — always follow your provider's instructions.
