Getting enough protein is essential for a good diet. Our bodies use it to build muscle, bone, blood cells, and even hair.
Protein is also great for weight loss. It helps to stabilize blood sugar and stave off hunger.

When my alarm went off at 5:30 this morning (after about 4 1/2 hours of sleep), my stomach was already cramping with hunger. I ate a couple of celery sticks and drank some spearmint tea. I could hardly wait for breakfast time at 7:30.
