Why Protein High?

The Protein High Meal Plan is designed together with a programme of physical activity to encourage fat burning and promote toning.

How Does It Work?

Carbohydrate is reduced below daily energy requirements to force the body to burn fat.
A high protein intake maintains your muscle mass. The more muscle you have the more efficient your metabolism is and the less fat you store.
A high protein intake stimulates the release of a hormone called glucagon which encourages fat to be used as an energy source
