June Bugs, Why Is It That We Have To Get So Much Protein In? I mean, I'm following but I have forgotten the real purpose............. Crazy Huh? Renee C

At least one big reason is that protein builds muscle. When you loose weight rapidly, you lose muscle. Also, if you aren't exercising a lot, you loose the muscle and the fat stays. The heart is also muscle, you can have heart damage as well. Hair has protein too, I am guessing the hair loss is at least in part helped from eating protein. So protein is essential as well as exercise. Anyone else have other reasons?? Good luck! Jo

Thanks you all.............. I was thinking along those line- but I got confused!! Have a great one-

I think it's so your body will use the protein instead of taking it out of your muscles, and I think it helps the whole healing process. You're right though, I hadn't really thought of ''why''. My main motivation to get it in is that it is suppose to help with hairloss, and mine is so thin that I can't afford to lose any. Take Care Renee!
