Will I actually feel hungry on keto?+
Most people expect keto to be a hunger game. It isn't — at least not with the ProGen VLCKD protocol. Once your body enters ketosis (typically within 72 hours), your hunger hormones stabilise and cravings reduce significantly. Our patients consistently report that the absence of hunger is what surprises them most.
Can I eat out or socialise while on the programme?+
Yes. Your doctor will give you a practical eating guide that works at restaurants and social gatherings. You're not expected to bring tupperware to a friend's wedding or avoid every family dinner. The programme is designed to coexist with your social life.
How long do I need to follow the keto diet?+
The active keto phase typically lasts 8–12 weeks depending on your target. After that, you go through a metabolism re-education phase where we gradually reintroduce normal foods. The goal is for your metabolism to reset so you can eat regularly without regaining — most patients don't follow strict keto beyond 3 months.
Will I lose muscle instead of fat?+
No. The ProGen protocol is specifically designed to protect muscle mass during weight loss. We track body composition — not just weight — throughout the programme. You'll lose fat, not muscle. Your strength and energy levels are maintained.
What if the weight comes back after I stop?+
Rebound prevention is built into the programme from day one. The stabilisation and metabolism re-education phases exist specifically to prevent this. 99.9% of our patients maintain their results — because we address the metabolic root cause, not just the symptom.
What happens at the free consultation?+
You'll meet with a physician at our Indiranagar clinic. They'll run a body composition analysis, review your health history, identify any metabolic blockers, and outline what your personalised programme would look like. There's no commitment required — it's a genuine assessment. You leave with information whether or not you sign up.
Is this safe? Do I need any prior health conditions?+
The ProGen VLCKD protocol is clinically validated and used in 22 countries. The medical assessment at the start identifies any contraindications before the programme begins. Patients with thyroid disorders, PCOS, insulin resistance, and diabetes have all successfully completed the programme — because it's designed around their condition, not in spite of it.
Is this only for women?+
No. The ProGen keto programme is designed for any adult who wants to lose weight and keep it off. The protocol is personalised to your body — regardless of gender. Our patients include software engineers, consultants, founders, homemakers, and everyone in between.
