Making your own high-protein shake puts you in control of your
meal. Set up your shake area in the kitchen and keep it clean
and well-stocked, because you’ll be using this area every day.
Having a nice, clean blender and keeping your spoon and powder
handy is as important as having non-fat milk or soy milk and
fresh or frozen fruit available. Try different flavors and fruits to
give yourself some variety when you need it.

vitamins and minerals, along with the healthy fruits you’ve
added–all in one delicious meal! The combination of protein and
fruit found in ShapeWorks shakes make them more filling, so

Why Is Protein Important? |
|
ShapeWorks shakes and products is lean, easily digestible and lower
calorie than eating meats.
Women need, on average, 100 grams of protein daily to build and
maintain an optimal amount of lean-body mass. Men need
more–averaging 150 grams of protein daily. The Ideal Meal allows you
to meet these protein goals at a very low-calorie cost. These protein
guidelines are designed to keep you from feeling hungry, and the
calorie-controlled shakes allow you to incorporate plenty of healthy
fresh fruits and vegetables into a balanced meal plan. Everyone has
different protein needs based upon their size, build and age, so
personalize your protein intake according to your needs.

Making sure you get adequate protein intake every day is a simple and
safe way to support losing or maintaining your ideal weight. Protein
helps you feel fuller during a meal–and keeps you satisfied well after
you’ve eaten. Because protein is filling, you won’t be as tempted to
snack between meals or consume “junk food” that’s high in sugar, fat

Protein also helps reduce carbohydrate cravings. Carbohydrates,
especially sweets and starches, can trigger the brain to crave more of
the same–which leads to a vicious cycle of overeating. Protein foods
help block cravings. When you eat protein with healthy carbohydrates,
such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, the protein will keep you
satisfied, while reducing your cravings for sweets and starches. This
makes protein a powerful ally in your quest to lose weight.
In addition, protein helps maintain and build lean body mass, which is
important because it determines your metabolic rate. To safely lose
weight, you need to maintain a healthy lean body mass. Not only does
too little protein leave dieters feeling weak and hungry, but the body
may begin burning lean body mass for energy. The protein in

Identify Trigger Foods |
|
|
|
|
Trigger foods are often used for emotional eating. They can trigger you to eat too much, lose control and not lose weight. These foods
are often highly flavorful, but caloric and with little nutritional value. That’s why it’s important to identify your trigger foods and find
healthy substitutes. These simple changes will empower you over the long term.
