#1 Summer Weight Loss Transformation Tip

There is one summer eating tip that you need to do every day for weight loss transformation. Eat protein with every meal.




At your summer parties, get full on protein foods first. It will help you eat less of the condiments, desserts and other high-fat foods at the party. Most summer parties have plenty of foods loaded with protein. Nuts, ham, turkey, chicken, fish, etc. are great foods to eat. Protein helps control your blood sugar if you happen to eat carbohydrates. Rapid rises in blood sugar and insulin promotes fat storage and stops fat burning.

It takes your body longer to digest protein (thermic effect), so you will fill fuller for a longer period of time. This thermic effect increases your metabolic rate because it takes your body twice as long to digest and transport protein as compared to carbohydrates. This should help you eat fewer calories during the day.

Protein is also used by your body to repair and rebuild damaged tissues as a result of a tough strength training workout. Quickly digesting protein shakes work well after a workout. Other daytime and nighttime meals could be comprised of slowly digesting protein (such as lean meats) that will give a constant release of protein into your system during the day and overnight.

Eating on The Run

Are you tired of deciding what to eat each day on your weight loss quest? Quick solution: drink smoothies for meal replacement, workout performance or workout recovery. These meal replacement drinks are delicious, easy to prepare, hopefully healthy and cost effective. What else do you need?


Meal Replacement Smoothies

Eating every 3-4 hours will keep your energy up and metabolism active. Going too long between meals can cause you to load up on sugary carbohydrates to get quick energy. These types of snacks are usually high in calories, not very nutritious and cause rapid ups and downs in blood sugar levels.

Whether you're on the run or eating breakfast or lunch, smoothies are a great choice. Hopefully, you will use whole, natural foods like fresh fruits, veggies, oats, nuts and Greek yogurt. And, take advantage of healthy herbs and spices instead of using excess sugars and salt. Its easy to make meal replacement smoothies of 400-600 calories. All it takes is a little planning, which is the best way to stick with your meal plan anyway.

If you plan your smoothies right, you will get the necessary protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals you need during the day.

So, when used right, protein will help you build a lean body and help your fat loss and weight loss efforts.
