Protein Controls Hunger
Hunger is the biggest reason we fail when trying to lose weight
Don’t start any diet thinking - “I should cut down on my carbohydrates and fats”
Losing weight is not about accepting suffering.
Control your hunger , make yourself happy, enjoy your diet and the rest will follow.
This is where PROTEIN comes in.

1) Protein controls hunger because
Hunger is the body’s way of communicating with you when it has a specific nutritional requirement. Our bodies are made up mostly of different proteins which form our muscles, organs and connective tissues. Therefore, once your protein requirements have been met, the greatest portion of your nutritional requirements are satisfied and your hunger mechanism is reduced accordingly.
2) Protein controls hunger because
Protein takes longer to digest than most other nutrients even though it is lower in calories. It therefore sits in the stomach for longer thus giving you a satisfied feeling that lasts. If you had that lovely ’sunday roast’ feeling after every meal but with a much lower quantity of calories sitting in your stomach - imagine how easy it would be to stick to your diet and lose weight.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCT
The Herbalife Protein Formula
The difficulties with increasing your protein intake is that you often increase your fat intake at the same time because the main sources of protein are animal proteins which obviously come with the accompanying animal fats.
Herbalife have developed a lean protein supplement which can be added to your food and your shakes to meet your body’s demands without the extra calories.
After a spoonful of that, believe me, you’ll feel stuffed!!

I want to add that you should NEVER ignore the other food groups required for health - this is where Atkins went wrong - we need a balance of carbohydrates, appropriate fats and oils, vitamins, minerals and of course protein. Increase your protein intake but not at the expense of your other nutrition.
The increased protein in your diet also ensures that weight is only lost from your fat and not your healthy tissues!
