 The cows are never given bovine growth hormone or any other hormones, and the product is free of artificial flavors and sweeteners. The whey protein in Paleomeal is never exposed to high-heat temperatures, which can prevent it from being able to raise glutathione levels in the body. |
| Ninety minutes later, allowed to eat freely at a buffet, the whey group consumed significantly fewer calories. whey protein powder may well be a great tool in the battle to control appetite naturally.
The benefits of whey have been known for centuries. Thanks to journalist and health reporter Will Brink, I found this wonderful aphorism dating from about 1777 that says the following: "If everyone were raised on whey, doctors would be bankrupt" (Allevato con la scotta il dottore e in bancarott). And that wasn't the first time the health properties of whey were appreciated. |

| Whey: Undenatured, unheated whey protein provides the aminos from which the body makes glutathione, the body's premier antioxidant.
5. Grass-fed beef: High in the healthy, fat-burning fat CLA (conjugated linolenic acid) plus omega-3S; grass-fed beef is also antibiotic and hormone free and a great source of zinc and vitamin B12.
6. Spaghetti squash: My personal favorite substitute for pasta, especially for the gluten or carb intolerant. Delicious as spaghetti squash and meatballs!
7. Jicama: Crunchy, juicy, and low calorie, jica-ma is delightful in salads and as a veggie for dips. |

| Many research studies have investigated the benefit of whey protein in the treatment of cancer, HIV, hepatitis B, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis, and as an antimicrobial agent.
CANCER: Whey helps lower resistance of cancer cells while enhancing the immune system. It also increases the activity of natural killer cells to help identify cancer cells.
COGNITIVE FUNCTION: Whey is high in the amino acid L-tryptophan, which may aid in improving cognitive function in stressed individuals and has also been associated with helping to decrease insomnia (sleep disturbances). |

| It is highly stimulating to the immune system. whey protein seems to be the best method for obtaining the building blocks of glutathione, arguably the most valuable antioxidant in the body. Glutathione is a "master antioxidant"—it destroys free radicals and is intimately involved in the detoxification of carcinogens. The white blood cells and the liver use glutathione to detoxify poisons in the body. Unfortunately, it's hard if not impossible to absorb glutathione from the diet or from supplements. |

| If you are allergic to whey protein, consider soy powder—the protein in soy powder is more easily utilized than that in other soy foods. Soy powder can also be used in smoothies.
Important: If you eat a vegan diet (no animal products of any kind), take a multivitamin as nutritional insurance. Plant-based diets do not contain adequate amounts of all nutrients.
Are You Getting Too Much Iron?
Most Americans get enough iron from food, especially red meat, fortified grains and leafy vegetables.
Exceptions: People who have had blood loss from surgery or accidents.. . |

| PREPARATION AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
• Many of the non-denatured forms of whey protein often create foam if mixed too rigorously. Suggestion: Make a rue or "paste" out of the whey powder. Mix a little of your favorite beverage with the powder until it becomes a paste. Then slowly beat in the remaining liquid with a fork until well mixed. Remember—slow but sure.
• Serving ideas: Try it in juice smoothies or as an ingredient in your favorite shake recipe using low-fat milk, soy, almond, or oat milk beverages. |

| BONE DENSITY: whey protein enhances the bioavailability (absorption) of calcium and is helpful in the prevention of osteoporosis.
IMMUNE ENHANCEMENT: Whey enhances a powerful cell protector called glutathione which neutralizes the harmful effects of free radicals.
HYPERTENSION: The whey portion of dairy products may be the beneficial part in controlling blood pressure. Studies show that low-fat dairy products are an essential part of a widely accepted optimal diet for lowering blood pressure called the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or "DASH" diet for short. |

| It contains 90 percent or more protein and very little (if any) fat and lactose. whey protein concentrate, on the other hand, has anywhere between 29 percent and 89 percent protein, depending upon the product.
Brewer's yeast fell out of favor largely because better ways of obtaining higher-dose chromium became available (supplements) and because so many people have chronic yeast problems, which can conceivably be made worse by taking brewer's yeast, even though the yeast itself is inactive and not related to the Candida albicans fungus that causes yeast infection. |

 But several elements of the program stood out, and it's those three elements that form the core of our combo cure for hypertension: the DASH diet, coenzyme Q10, and hydrolyzed whey protein.
The DASH Diet
In 1997, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute funded research on the effects on blood pressure of groups of nutrients as they're found together in foods. The name of this study was Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or DASH, for short. |

 For example, there is some evidence that whey protein is more satiating than casein [43]. The former is more readily absorbed so the postprandial rise of plasma amino acids, the presumed satiety signal, is greater. However, this finding is not robust [43, 44]. There is also evidence that dairy protein may have stronger satiety effects because of its high concentration of casinomacropeptide (CMP) [45, 46]. CMP is a potent stimulus for the release of gut peptides associated with satiety such as cholecystokinin (CCK). |

 Always having ingredients for healthy smoothies such as frozen fruit and whey protein, or having weight-loss meal replacement drinks on hand can also fill the gap when you need good nutrition and just can't afford the time to prepare a meal.
Menu Planning with Your Computer
The Internet can make meal planning very easy. There are numerous Web sites that have hundreds or even thousands of recipes, many of which can be used very successfully as part of a weight-loss program. |
| We also make sure our patients are skilled at making high-protein blender smoothies with added PGX and whey protein. Replacing one or two meals per day with a high-protein blender smoothie or meal replacement beverage can leave you with the time and energy to focus on your other meals and can help you to lose weight simply and comfortably.
WEIGHT-LOSS SUCCESS HABIT #3: THINK AHEAD AND PLAN WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO EAT
Humans plan; animals act on impulse. |
| Contains high-quality whey protein, medium chain triglycerides, and important micronutrients for health. þBecause this is a meal replacement, it has all the nutrients you need for a full meal in a flash. Because you don't have to buy food for the meal that is replaced, this can be a very economical way to get a very nutritious meal.
SlimStyles PGX Granules (1 scoop = 5 grams of PGX) þPGX unflavored granules can be added directly to moist food and beverages. þPGX granules are calorie free. þAdd PGX granules to your meals or with snacks when you know your appetite is strong. |
| PGX is available in capsules (either hard or soft gelatin), as a zero-calorie drink mix, as granules to be added into food and beverages, and in a sophisticated low-carbohydrate, very low-glycemic index meal replacement drink containing undenatured whey protein, natural flavors, and sweeteners along with vitamins and minerals. The primary supplier of PGX is Natural Factors, who offers PGX in their SlimStyles family of products for weight loss. These products can be found in health food stores throughout North America or via a number of e-tailers on the Internet. |
| Two scoops provide 5 grams of PGX, 19 grams of whey protein, 2.3 grams of medium chain triglycerides, and more than thirty other nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to support healthy metabolism. And it tastes great.
The most important reasons why this drink mix provides the perfect way to start the day are that it is extremely filling and it exerts a tremendous blood sugar stabilizing effect. We have done our own intensive research on the SlimStyles Weight Loss Drink with our patients. |

 Other ingredients that often contain MSG include whey protein, soy protein, soy sauce, carrageenan or vegetable gum, anything fermented, chicken, beef or pork smoke flavorings.
Human food can also be a source of MSG. According ro an article by Jeff Gordy on MSG, a lot of restaurants may use MSG to prepare their food, including McDonalds, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and many others.5

| In a typical day, I might eat the following meals:
Breakfast A green smoothie made from organic fresh or frozen vegetables that I alternate every few days, using rice, hemp, or whey protein powder, combined with a cup of frozen berries, a whole small apple, flaxseeds, and some cinnamon. Alternatively, I'll have a handful of raw nuts and an apple or handful of berries. In a pinch, I'll have a high-protein, low-carb bar. |
| Hemp protein powder Made from hemp seeds (a cousin of marijuana, and no, you will not feel high eating it), this powder contains the essential amino acids and has the benefits of whey protein powder without the downsides. (Many whey powders contain sugar or artificial sweeteners.) The seeds are high in fat, albeit mostly omega-3s.
High-fiber pasta See page 216 for information.
Mozzarella Use only fresh mozzarella, which comes in baseball-size balls (as well as smaller ones) packed in water. |
| Rice protein powder Like whey protein powder, it contains the essential amino acids but is low in taurine, as are most plant-based proteins. Vegans who wish to avoid whey products can use it.
Salsa Read the label to make sure that there is no sugar or corn syrup. I prefer the fresh varieties available now in most supermarkets to the canned or bottled types. You can use tomatillo as well as tomato salsa.
Shirataki tofu noodleA See page 216 for information on this stand-in for high-carb pasta. |

| The best choice for protein supplementation is whey protein.
When combined with weight training, creatine supplementation has been shown to increase muscle mass and improve leg strength, endurance, and power in both elderly and young subjects. Physical inactivity is a major reason why so many Americans are overweight.
Exercise has been shown to compensate for a reduced basal metabolic rate (BMR) due to calorie restriction.
We recommend a combination of aerobic, strength training, and flexibility exercises to see the full benefits of exercise. |

| Though not technically a supplement, whey protein is another powerful way to increase the body's stores of glutathione and boost the immune system. Be sure to get a pure, high-quality powder made by a reputable company that markets to health professionals. You don't want one of the God-awful "fancy" protein shakes sweetened with sugar or some artificial chemical hazard that lines the shelves at the mall. (One brand I like is PaleoMeal by Designs for Health, which has whey from grass-fed animals, is carefully prepared, and is fortified with omegas and other heart-healthy nutrients. |
