Is it possible to burn more calories just by choosing a different type of food? Actually, yes you can. The energy in food is in the form of chemical bonds but the body cannot use that energy until the chemical bonds are broken. The energy that your body consumes to break the chemical bonds is called a “thermic-effect”, which is essentially the calorie-burning effect of digestion.
Protein, that wonderful, amazing building block of the body, takes almost twice as many calories to digest as carbohydrates. It is one reason why high protein diets produce dramatic results. Studies have shown that people on high protein diets can lose up to twice as much weight as those on low protein diets, with a marked increase in the amount of abdominal fat lost. Why a greater loss of abdominal fat? Researchers believe it may be because protein helps the body control its levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that directs fat toward the belly.
The trick is not to have tons of bacon or other high fat proteins – you will get weight loss results but at the cost of increased coronary artery disease! No, choose lean meats and low fat proteins, and supplement with at least one serving a day of a protein such as our Intentional 100% whey protein isolate that also includes green tea extract – a powerful antioxidant that also helps with weight loss.
P.S. The whey for our Creo Mundi Protein Drink is sourced entirely from within the United States and is not contaminated with melamine. Our whey is then processed in our lab in Canada. Our product source is a superior quality and consistency, and our lab’s quality control and assurance program is a leader in the nutraceutical and OTC pharmaceutical industry. Our product has not been affected by the reports of contamination from sources in Asia. We continue to be vigilant about the source quality of our product.
