The Power of Protein for Weight Loss: Accelerate Weight Loss With Protein - Paperback

by Ron Kness (Author)

Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that there are ups and downs, ebbs and flows. Some people get frustrated and stop trying to lose weight because they go on these complicated diets that either introduce foods that are as appetizing as cardboard or they strictly limit foods they love. Not only is that not appealing and not healthy for the body, but it doesn't lead to long term, successful weight loss. One of the simplest ways to lose weight is to make sure you're getting the protein that your body needs. If you're eliminating or severely limiting protein, or simply not paying attention to the fact that you're loading up on carbs and ignoring the protein aspect, then it could be one of the reasons why your weight loss journey has been a struggle. Your body was made to need protein. You need it from head to toe. The cells throughout your body have to have it. Without enough protein, you'll end up with thinning hair and weak nails. Your body will struggle to stay healthy - to keep your muscles and tissues in good working order. You'll suffer from a lack of certain hormones and you can damage your bones without having enough protein in your diet. But a huge reason that you need to eat protein might surprise you. You need protein because it gives you energy. And energy is what enables you to be able to do whatever it is that you need to do throughout the day. Lack of protein is a big reason why so many diets people have tried, fail. Who cares what foods you eat when you're so tired and so drained that all you want to do is collapse on the sofa and not move? Diets that don't include a focus on protein will eventually wear you out and you won't want to stick to them. And you shouldn't. You need protein to give you the right amount of energy that will sustain you all the way through your journey to weight loss success. Let me show you how to get enough protein in your diet and how protein helps you with your weight loss efforts.

Author Biography

I grew up in Central Minnesota, where my parents owned and operated a fishing resort. Once out of high school I tried a couple of semesters of college, only to quit halfway through the Spring term; I decided at that time that college wasn't for me. Then I decided to follow my father's previous occupation as an auto mechanic. I graduated from a two-year of vocational training course and worked as a mechanic for five years. While in vocational training, I decided to join the National Guard where I eventually ended up working full-time for 32 years. So how does all of this relate to writing? In one of my leadership schools, the instructor, who was an English teacher at a juvenile detention center, presented writing to me in a whole new way - a way that started to develop my interest in working with words. I eventually went back to college on the GI Bill while I was working and earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Taking a class or two per semester at night and on weekends took me seven years to complete my degree. Fast forward about 40 years and I now have published over 100 books on Amazon for Kindle, CreateSpace and other publishing platforms. Besides my own writing, I also ghostwrite ebooks, books, reports, articles, blogs and do Kindle conversions for clients on a variety of topics. Today my wife and I are retired from our careers and live in Gold Canyon, AZ. I now write as a retirement business where you'll find me happily sitting in my office typing away on my laptop as I work on my next book or ghostwriting project . . . that is if we are not traveling on a cruise ship - our new-found mode of travel.
