WHEY PROTEIN STIMULATES FAT BURNING Numerous studies have shown that a diet of a low carbohydrate to protein ratio with at least 100 grams of protein per day increases fat loss and helps maintain muscle during dieting. Another study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association shows that older women who supplemented their diets with whey protein lost weight without losing muscle mass. Whey protein stimulates thermogenesis (fat burning) and satiety better than casein and soy. Jonny Bowden, Ph.D. stated that “whey protein influences several hormones, including insulin, which have a great impact on body composition.” One animal study found that whey protein reduced appetite (as evidenced by the fact that the animals consumed less food), as well as visceral and subcutaneous fat. The whey protein also reduced blood levels of insulin- the fat storing hormone- and increased insulin sensitivity! One of the whey protein powders I recommend is Whey Cool. Whey Cool comes only from grass-fed cows with absolutely NO hormones, steroids or antibiotics.  What's in your protein powder? Many common brands of protein powders & protein drinks contain high levels of toxic heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. Contact me to order: 1.

Australian research even shows that “supplementation with whey protein improves blood pressure and vascular function in overweight and obese individuals.” The present study demonstrated that supplementation with whey proteins improves fasting lipids and insulin levels in overweight and obese individuals.

When you wake up, spit into your glass with your first morning saliva. Check the glass every 15 minutes for an hour to see legs. If your saliva looks stringy (with legs or ropey), you more than likely have Candida. If you are positive with legs, contact me and I will guide you toward a healthier path.
