* We need protein nutrition to stay strong and healthy.
* If we don't eat enough protein, our bodies steal it from our muscles & organs.
* Protein is essential for muscles, and muscles burn fat and burn calories.
* Our muscles act as fat furnaces and keep our metabolism high.
Ease off eating fast releasing carbohydrates
* Carbohydrates should provide our body with energy.
* Eat more slow release carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) rather than fast release (pasta, cakes).
* Excess energy from carbohydrate food is stored as fat.
* This stored fat results in more insulin being produced: Insulin is 'the storage hormone' to store fat.

* Protein comes in the form of meat, soy products, cheese and dairy products.
* Most of these are animal proteins, which add to the bad cholesterol.
* We need to choose high quality proteins from non-animal sources.

at least 25g Soy protein per day into your diet will help reduce
blood cholesterol.

A protein rich diet promotes good health.
So for more easily controlled weight, eat a protein power diet, soy protein or soya protein is a low calorie healthy source of protein. |
