WHY Protein????

Week 1 of our Weight Loss Nutrition Class - aka: Weight Loss Challenge - went very well. Our topic was Why Protein?

Before I get into the "Why Protein" part of it, I want to take a moment and remind everyone that we are also raising money for disabled kids. We are trying to make some of their dreams possible through the incredible work of the imPOSSIBLE DREAM Charity Fund.

We currently have 23 participants (MORE are Always Welcome!). This means we have raised $230 so far for the imPOSSIBLE DREAM Charity!

Now the educational part of all this:

• Protein is known as the building blocks of life



• Protein is utilized in the body to build and repair tissues



• Protein produces hormones and enzymes



• Proper amounts of protein better maintains lean muscle mass



• Protein keeps your immune system & respiratory system functioning properly

How Protein Affects Your Weight:

• Protein in your diet will help control hunger



• Protein in your diet will boost your metabolism



• Protein helps regulate blood sugar and insulin

Homework:

• Eat protein at every meal/snack to rev up your metabolism and maintain your lean mass (20-25 gm for meals & 10-15 gm for snacks)



• Record everything that you eat/drink



• Get your 3-ring binder



• Print of week 2 and read it. (http://www.herbalifewlc.com/)
