If you are comparing weight-loss programs in Canada, you may be looking for an alternative to Ideal Protein, or simply want to know how our approach is different. Ideal Protein is a structured, phase-based protocol offered through authorized clinics. Motivation Minceur takes a different route: medical supervision, flexible nutrition and strong attention to motivation and behaviour. This page explains how we work so you can compare programs fairly.
How the Motivation Minceur approach works
- Led by a physician. Our clinic in Montréal is led by Dr Maurice Larocque, a weight-loss specialist.
- Personalized plan. Your calories and protein are set around you, not a fixed template. Try our weight-loss forecast and protein calculator.
- Motivation and behaviour. We work on habits, cravings and mindset, the part that decides whether weight stays off. See our page on the mental weight.
- Flexible products. A wide range of protein shakes, bars, soups, breakfasts and snacks, so you choose what you enjoy.
- Follow-up. Regular support from a team that speaks French and English.
