Hello my friends! Today's episode is a review of studies on protein intake: one Rutgers study on how a higher protein intake can boost retention of lean body mass during caloric restriction as well as influencing study subjects towards healthier options (I.e: organically choosing green vegetables over processed sugar and grains); and one study by Ohio State University on how most people are likely under-eating protein and how we need to increase protein intake recommendations for individuals based on their current stage of life, age, health condition and activity levels. See below for the study links. ORDER THE BRAND NEW TONE LUX RED LIGHT THERAPY DEVICES HERE!   There is a very limited number available so order yours now!

A new diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet.
