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

We all hit stalls. It doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Sometimes, your body just has to catch up with what you're doing. Take a deep breath, relax, and stick to the program.

this i know. just posting infor for those who might be wondering.
