Learn how to reduce your BODY FAT
Exciting new research shows how you can shed BODY FAT and achieve your BEST SHAPE ever!
Clinical trials show a healthy PROVEN way to easily turn your body into a FAT BURNING MACHINE!!!
Learn how to increase your protein intake to match your body’s needs helping you feel full and energized as you lose unwanted kilos and body fat.
About 75% of our weight is protein. It’s in muscle, bone, skin, hair and virtually every other body part or tissue. Because the body doesn’t store amino acids it needs a daily supply of them to make new protein.
A high protein diet has been shown to increase thermogenesis – fat burning activity in the body. Eating a protein meal also has the ability to increase your metabolic rate up to 25 – 30%. Protein also contains an enzyme that acts as an appetite suppressant. And it helps block those dreaded carbohydrate cravings that pile the pounds on in all the wrong places.
Protein can also build lean body mass, which increases the number of calories burned per day. Protein is not as efficiently converted into fat as carbohydrates so when you are trying to maintain your weight it is more difficult to gain weight when you eat more protein. There is a samll amount of heat produced (called diet-induced thermogenesis) when you digest your foods and for a short time afterward. Again protein produces more heat than the same amount of carbohydrate or fat. This heat is energy from the food you eat that is not deposited as fat.
One way to ensure we receive enough
protein is by using a supplement. Much research has been done in recent years on the health benefits of soy protein. Soybeans are cholesterol free, rich in fibre, vitamin E and omega 3 fatty acids. Soy is a high quality protein that contains isoflavins (natural phytogestrogens). Isoflavins have been found to give heart and bone protection, relief from menopausal symptoms and protection from breast and endometrial cancers. Soy also has the ability to reduce harmful free radicals, build quality muscle, help speed up the metabolism and supply valuable calcium, folic acid and iron! It aslo lowers bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol.
The latest scientific evidence is strong that protein works, and that your body will feel the difference when you eat the right amounts of it for your body shape and activity levels. Protein acts on the hunger-signalling mechanisms in the brain, causes more heat generation and calorie burning after it is eaten, and contributes to building lean body mass. For all these reasons, it is recommended that you take in about 29% of your total calories from protein. It sounds easy, and it is if you know how to get the right forms of protein in the right amounts for you. To help you with that or to just find out more on how to easily achieve and maintain your BEST SHAPE ever (!!!) …
