I recently did some research into the benefits of protein & why it’s so important to get enough of it in your diet… and I was shocked!  

Not only is protein essential for building & repairing muscle and tissue but…

Protein also plays a HUGE role in burning fat!

In fact, one study found that when people increased their protein intake (only a 15-30% daily increase)… they burned an average of 441 MORE calories the next day!
