  9. this i know. just posting infor for those who might be wondering.
  10. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF INSUFFICIENT Protein? The first sign of lack of protein is often fatigue and/or weakness. Not just the feeling that we didn’t get enough sleep last night, but deep fatigue….or weakness where it’s hard to get through the day. A second sign is weight loss plateau. When we don’t get enough protein, there is increasing evidence that the body tries to store calories rather than burning them. We hear from many patients who do get enough protein that they are successful in reaching their weight loss goal. A third sign is hair loss, and we believe it is often preventable. While one cause of hair loss following the surgery is the “shock” of the surgery to the body, another leading cause of hair loss in weight loss surgery patients is insufficient intake of protein. i am not losing hair but the weight loss is slow or stalled. hummmmmmmmmmmmm

  14. just wanted to share something I read: it's no secret that Water is a key ingredient for maxium fat loss. Keeping your body hydreated helps accelrate your metabolism and means you're buring more fat In fact, studies haave shown that drining to little water can cause fat deposits to increas, while driking more can aturally reduce fat deposits. It all has to do with how your body processes fat. It starts with the kidneys. The need adequate water to wrk well. If they dont't get it, they dump some of thier workload onto the liver. Tha's where the terouble begins because the liver is one of the key organs involved in metabolizing stored fat inot energy. When the kidneys aren't working to capacity, the liver has to pick up the slack. And when the liver is doing the work for the kidneys should be doing, it can't be doing it's job of geeing rid of stored fat and turning it into energy to the best of its ability. That means it metabolizes less fat into energy and mor fat remains stored in your body. The simple fix: drink more water. I barely get in the 64 oz, for some reason I cant drink as much water when it's cold. I got tired of cyrstal light, picked up some mio and yes baby I am getting that water intake in now. i just wanted to share this for those that aren't aware.
