Whey Is The Way…

Whey Is The Way…
The last month or so I’ve been struggling with my diet, ping ponging up and down a few pounds each week when I weight in. I had regained four pounds, and had fallen back into binge eating, even though I still continued tracking my food. Then last week at my weight watchers meeting a young lady mentioned that she started eating 'Whey' (protein powder), and that it tastes like a shake, and was very filling.
So I decided to try it, I bought a bag at Cosco which of course was huge and cost almost $50.00 bucks… I prayed that I really liked it because at that price I can’t afford to make foolish mistakes. So I tried it out the next morning mixing it with fat-free milk, even though the bag called for water. I also put in half a banana and some ice cubes, mixing it up in a blender it came out really thick and frosty with a malty taste.
I was truly surprised at how good it tasted, and when she said it was filling that was an understatement. I found it to be an appetite suppressant. It fulfilled my need for something sweet, and totally curbed my habit for bingeing. Most days I even had points left over, instead of going over my daily allowance. So when I weighed in this week I actually lose 2.9 pounds… I was so happy, and encourage to stay on my diet that I thought I would share my success.
What is Whey?
Whey protein is one of the two major groups of proteins found in milk. It is a highly digestible source of protein.
Whey proteins are used in a variety of foods, including ice cream, bread, and infant formula. Whey protein has been used in fat replacers for low-fat ice cream and as an ingredient in milk replacement products. Whey protein is also a popular dietary supplement for improving muscle strength and body composition and for the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, and age-related bone loss.
Whey protein may aid in the prevention of some hereditary conditions, such as the tendency to develop allergies. It may act as an appetite suppressant and aid in the control of blood sugar. ~ Mayo Clinic
