VALUABLE INFORMATION TO SHARE protein

http://www.newsnet5.com/index.html. click on "Health" go to bottom of page where it says "Health Interactives" you will see 4 button-like choices, the Calorie Calculator will tell you exactly how many calories you need or need to cut to lose/or maintain your weight, and will give you the exact amount of protein you need daily. I get in my protein in excess of 80 grams a day. But you will have to learn to get over "not liking" protein there is a protein drink out there that you can tolerate. Isopure is Yucky if you try to drink it pure. I stick to vanilla because you can then chance the flavor, therefore I have it each morning mixed with my favorite fruit and I don't worry about the calories or carbs in this drink. As I spend the rest of the day eating salads, meats and a small amount of vegetables. I do not think newbies can do this yet as I only got in (minus) 20 grams of protein in the beginning by sipping the drink throughout the day. Please note, if it sits over 2 hours, you should make a new drink. I have lost ounces to 0.5-1lb daily to at least 3-5 pounds a week (this varies for everyone) You must realize that sometimes you just lose ounces which are harder to measure. Try to sip or eat ice chips, or Edy's or Dole's sugar-free pops, daily or water/protein if you're a new post-op drinking is hard but sipping is easy, before you realize it you will have consumed 8-16 oz daily and gradually more. But always wait at least 30 min between meals and fluids. If you cannot eat do sip your protein. Purchasing a 3lb container of Isopure is not expensive since it will last for approx 6-7 months and 2 scoop yield 50g of Protein; 200 Cal., 0 carbs - mixed w/ 1 banana helps replenish potassium; or blue berries which offers nutrients and less cal., using fresh strawberries or frozen gives me the best taste. Ironically, what I learned is the more you weigh, the more protein you need to lose weight, and you need less carbs, to cut your calorie intake. Once you reach you goal weight, you actually need to increase your caloric intake to (there is a chart that indicates "to maintain") to stay consistent. Eventually, your need for protein lowers or varies depending on your weight. This is valuable information I only wish I knew about it before even when I thought I was healthty. My dad weighs the same that he weighed when he enlisted in the army more than 60 years ago. I have studied his diet and he does eat more protein than the average person I know. He drinks a ton of water, if he indulges in sweets, I note that he tastes them rather than consume the entire food. A cake will last him so long he has to throw it away. He told me this was the way Army basic taught him how to eat and he has never changed that induction. The website is very interesting and has a lot of information to offer including the "fit facts daily", so stop by you won't regret it.
