Protein Boost Diet

"In my 30+ years of experience taking care of thyroid patients, lasting weight loss remains the number one challenge they struggle with to this day. They often blindly follow popular diets such as the Paleo or South Beach diet. The problem with these diets is that they do not take a holistic approach to achieving and maintaining optimal efficiency of metabolism regulating hormones. Even though they may lose some weight on these diets, thyroid patients often relapse and continue on a resilient weight gain trend regardless of their efforts to get rid of their extra weight. For this reason, I designed the Protein Boost Diet which takes into account immune system reactivity to foods and respects several fundamentals, all conducive to healthy, sustainable weight loss."

The Protein Boost Diet

is the only diet that combines all the scientific fundamentals of different diets that have been shown to be effective in losing weight

High Quality Protein

High Fiber

Low Glycemic

At each meal include the right amount of high quality protein that provides the best amino acid profile for speedy metabolism

Vegetables and the right amount of legumes in every meal so that the daily intake of fiber exceeds 30g

Meals and meal constituents to be low glycemic and low in simple sugars

Immune System Friendly Foods

Good Fats

NO Trans or Saturated Fats

Avoidance of foods that irritate the immune system such as gluten, dairy, etc. The use of food sensitivity testing is helpful in this regard.

As for any perfected Mediterranean diet, one needs to include in each meal, good fats such as olive oil, avocados etc.

These fats are hyper-caloric and detrimental to metabolism and health

The Protein Boost DietTM fundamentals are implemented at the Texas Thyroid Institute

Science Based Diet

Fat burn and metabolism are regulated by a complex hormonal system

which includes hormones such as thyroid hormone, leptin, ghrelin, growth hormone and insulin. This is why people who struggle with weight gain often have insulin, leptin, and thyroid hormone resistance as well as a general state of body inflammation.

The Protein Boost Diet is an immune system-friendly perfected Mediterranean diet

slightly high in proteins, fiber, and low-glycemic, designed to enhance the efficiency of fat burn promoting hormones. The meal plan of the Protein Boost Diet takes into account food sensitivities in order to reduce immune system reactivity and body inflammation.

The Protein Boost Diet is therefore the diet of choice for people suffering from autoimmune thyroid disease such as Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and hypothyroidism

It is important to note that if this diet works for thyroid patients who have the most stubborn metabolisms, it will work for anyone who struggles with weight problems regardless of the root cause of the weight issue. All the fundamentals of the diet are conducive to speedy metabolism and efficient, healthy weight loss. One of the Best Diet Advices from new books in 2013 by Spry Living, The Protein Boost Diet book details the eating plan, the scientific basis behind the diet as well as all the practical measures and tips that people can use to make their weight loss a permanent success.
